Posted October 29, 201311 yr comment_5569448 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
October 29, 201311 yr comment_5569547 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.
October 29, 201311 yr comment_5569551 The third Tupelo Concession Stand Brawl, Onita/Fuchi vs Gilbert/Morton, great ferocity and just pulling out all the stops.
October 29, 201311 yr comment_5569552 Buzz Sawyer vs Jim Duggan from 11/85 (I think) is the best wild brawl I've EVER seen.
October 29, 201311 yr Author comment_5569659 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.
October 31, 201311 yr comment_5570003 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.
October 31, 201311 yr comment_5570010 Short but sweet and took place in the North but in the vien of a southern brawl, Martel-Hansen Superclash 85
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581458 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
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581461 Check out Eddy vs JBL from Judgment Day 2004. It's definitely a WWE main event, but it has that flavor.
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581462 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
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581463 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
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581464 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.
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581467 Not a brawl per se, but the Hardys vs. MNM match Rumble 2007 is as Southern tag as it gets.
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581468 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.
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581469 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
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581522 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.
January 22, 201411 yr Author comment_5581528 I never got that far on the Mid South set but i might have to check it out now
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581530 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.
January 22, 201411 yr comment_5581531 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.
January 23, 201411 yr Author comment_5581537 I like the Funk/Gilbert stuff in ECW. The chain match is pretty southern
April 22, 201411 yr comment_5600417 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.
