Memphis History - The Two Top Tag Teams of All Time!!!

----Here are clips of an angle from USWA that ended up with Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee vs "The Fabulous Ones" [Steve Keirn/Stan Lane], which I consider the two top teams of Memphis Wrestling. "The Fabs" had won the USWA Tag Team Title with Cornette from Doug Gilbert/Dirty White Boy the week before as babys and had teamed with Lawler. I have also posted the results below of the show. They don't have the gate for this show listed, but they were drawing $5,000 gates with 1,200 people in attendance at the time. A few weeks later "The Fabs" lost their USWA Tag Team Titles to Jerry Lawler/Jeff Jarrett when Jackie Fargo came in to be the special ref with a $11,000 gate and close to 2,750 in the crowd. Even though this was not the heyday, because Vince had already plucked a lot of talent, they were still drawing 3 times the amount they do now for regular shows.
