Top 30 Thursday - Mid-South #23. Jim Duggan vs. Ted Dibiase (Street Fight), 7/29/83

This is the first of the trifecta of legendary Dibiase/Duggan Mid-South brawls, and it really hints at the greatness to come. This is pretty much my favorite kind of match, just short and to the point, tons of asskicking, and it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's sloppy as hell and that sloppiness only adds to the match. Not every punch lands, not every spot is clean, and that just helps make things feel more chaotic than normal. This is just a couple of sweaty dudes in jeans, choking each other with their hands and torn shirts, whipping each other with belts, smacking each other in the ribs with a chair, missing elbows, winging punches that alternate between hitting face, missing face, awkwardly hitting collarbones, etc. Everybody can make time to watch this.
