The Fabulous Ones vs The Moondogs (Stretcher Match - Memphis 5/2/1983)
I fucking love this. Definitely one of the best short matches in history with all four guys just stiffing the fuck out of each other. Absolutely nuclear heat. This is the kind of wrestling I love the best. This absolutely has a shot to make my list.

Second
Excellent, brutal, stiff match. I love matches like this, organic heat and tons of malice and urgency. It is a sneaky one that could get on my list.

The Fabs show their ability to take a beating in a match that gets over their toughness. The Moondogs bring the best out of them and look sick and brutal. Crowd is really into the match. I didn’t see the ending coming, but it helps both teams look good.

Really happy to see this get nominated. Maybe the greatest finish of all time. I am pretty sure this will make my list.
AWA Southern Tag Team Champions Fabulous Ones vs Moondogs - Memphis 5/2/83 Stretcher Match
One of the best violent, Southern tag brawls I have ever seen with a fantastic finish. They two teams just rip into each other the whole match. I love the double stomp and the Fabs use it liberally. They are clawing at the Moondogs eyes and raking their boots on their faces. There are no wrestling moves just fighting. Lane has a chain, but it goes flying out on a collision. Lane disoriented gets smashed in the head by the bone and ends up that Bloody Lane will be playing face in peril. This match sees Lane doing more selling, but Kerin is very active and adds that drama. I loved Keirn flying around to attack Moondogs, but always led to the other Moondog beating up Lane. Keirn was really great in this and Lane sold his ass off. Moondogs are really great at clubbering. Keirn just cant be at two places at once! Lane fires off some kicks, but gets cut off. Lane gets his knees up on a splash and after going to the wrong corner he makes it to Keirn. Keirn absolutely tees off on the Moondogs! He bites and claws at the Moondogs until one them bleeds! Keirn looks to send one of the Moondogs to the hospital, but his head gets trapped in the ropes! The way Keirn sells it by choking and then being lifeless. You totally buy that as a scary moment and something that could end the match as he is just hanging there with the Moondogs attacking. Lane fends them off with a chair, but calls for the bell. Lane stands over his lifeless partner with a chair in a great moment. The way the ropes snapped to let Keirn go was scary. I really loved this finish. Very dramatic and am a sucker for partner doing all he can to save and protect his partner. They put Keirn on the stretcher, but Moondogs topple the stretcher and Lane is pissed and tees off on them. A classic Southern brawl made even better by one of the all-time great finishes! ****3/4

Wow. A bloody southern brawl. It starts with another great fistfight between these teams. Stan Lane is a blood face-in-peril and Steve Keirn is an epic hot tag. Then Keirn does the Mick Foley hangman spot in the ropes and is caught so badly that the referee waves off the stretcher stip and stops the match. Then he is hurt so badly that they need to load him on a stretcher anyways. Then the dastardly Moondogs push him off the stretcher. Epic and awesome.
