jpchicago23 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 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 Quote
jm29195 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 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. Quote
rainmakerrtv Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 The third Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl, Onita/Fuchi vs Gilbert/Morton, great ferocity and just pulling out all the stops. Quote
Kostka Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Buzz Sawyer vs Jim Duggan from 11/85 (I think) is the best wild brawl I've EVER seen. Quote
KB8 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Posted October 29, 2013 Duggan/Sawyer is probably the gold standard for me, too. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Posted October 29, 2013 Doom/Horsemen definitely counts fucking love that much. I still have to watch the Duggan Sawyer match. I have the mid south set and haven't got that far into it. Quote
goodhelmet Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 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. Quote
King Solomon Posted October 31, 2013 Report Posted October 31, 2013 Short but sweet and took place in the North but in the vien of a southern brawl, Martel-Hansen Superclash 85 Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 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 Quote
Loss Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Check out Eddy vs JBL from Judgment Day 2004. It's definitely a WWE main event, but it has that flavor. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 If that's the one where Eddie blades the gusher I've seen it and yea it definitely fits. HIAC 1 maybe? Especially with the finish Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 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 Quote
NintendoLogic Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Would the Boot Camp Match qualify? I've heard Eddy/JBL described as Southern style, but I don't agree with that. Your mileage may vary. Quote
goodhelmet Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 Not a brawl per se, but the Hardys vs. MNM match Rumble 2007 is as Southern tag as it gets. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 Im not sure, its a great brawl I'm just not sure if its southern. There's gotta be some good stuff from Alabama,Georgia, and Florida as well. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 Not a brawl per se, but the Hardys vs. MNM match Rumble 2007 is as Southern tag as it gets. Yea and that's an awesome match. Fits the criteria Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 I should've just titled it Southern style matches Quote
peachchaos Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 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. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Posted January 22, 2014 I never got that far on the Mid South set but i might have to check it out now Quote
El-P Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 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. This is a pretty much an awesome southern brawl. Hard to find much better in that genre. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 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. Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 I like the Funk/Gilbert stuff in ECW. The chain match is pretty southern Quote
jpchicago23 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Posted January 25, 2014 Is there anything from Southeast/Continental of note? Quote
ohtani's jacket Posted April 22, 2014 Report Posted April 22, 2014 Fabulous Ones vs. The Moondogs matches are my Memphis brawls of choice. This feud is so awesome. It may be my favourite stuff from Memphis. Quote
