What are your favorite or what you think are the best southern brawls ever?

I wanted to make this favorite brawls ever but that can be pretty vague so i went the southern route. For me there's nothing I love more than seeing Terry Funk or Jerry Lawler go punch for punch with a motherfucker from the trailer park. I also love the southern stereotypical stuff like chains in the trunks and throwing powder in the eyes. Some of my favorite matches are the Funk/Lawler series, The Dustin Rhodes/Stud Stable stuff and the Lawler/Moondogs stuff. What are some other favorites or best of all time? Doesn't necessarily have to be contested I'm the south either example being Rich/Funk from ECW

Apart from the Stud Stable stuff, does the Horsemen/Doom street fight from Starrcade 1990 count - always loved that one, particularly how much they got in to the time they had for the match.

Is there anything from WWE or TNA that could be considered a classic southern style brawl? One of the Storm/Roode matches maybe? I'm going back on a southern kick and may even do a southern project of sorts. I've seen a lot of the Texas,Mid South, and Memphis stuff but the rest of the 80s southern wrestling is a blind spot for me

Doesn't necessarily have to be a brawl for the project I'm thinking of either but a southern style match. I just mostly consider the southern style as brawling but i guess a match like Shawn/Jarrett could be considered southern

Buzz Sawyer vs Jim Duggan from 11/85 (I think) is the best wild brawl I've EVER seen.

 

Duggan/Sawyer is probably the gold standard for me, too.

Yep.

 

Watched this last night and it blew me away. Almost a predecessor to Lesnar-Cena, albeit with less UFC-inspiration and a much MUCH better ending.

This is a pretty much an awesome southern brawl. Hard to find much better in that genre.

Fabulous Ones vs. The Moondogs matches are my Memphis brawls of choice. I also love the 'dressing room brawl' with Jerry Lawler, Bill Dundee vs King Carl, Don Bass & Black Prince. I enjoyed it more than the concession stand fights because I could actually see what was happening and it didn't go on forever.
