There's also the IWE tag w/ Bockwinkel (10/06/1979) the WWF Battle Royal (11/16/1987) and his final match with Chono in NJPW (12/26/1990) if you want to be a completionist of the intact stuff. There is other material out there but it's mostly piecemeal and clipped.

It's not make or break for his case, but I quite like this short match vs. Sawyer. Shows his capability as a weekly TV worker and hints at there being gems from Memphis we don't have.

Other stuff:

vs. Nagurski 10/1951

vs. Walcott 9/29/1966

vs. Inoki 10/9/1975

vs. Teranishi 10/3/1979

vs. Tsurumi 10/4/1979

Also would recommend the clips of him vs. Johnny Valentine. Even clipped down to just a few minutes you can clearly see how great both guys were at doing the little things.
