NWA World Tag Team Championship
Doom (Ron Simmons and Butch Reed) with Teddy Long vs. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express (Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson)
The first African-American Tag Team champions were awesome, I loved Doom and Ron Simmons looks absolutely fantastic.
Simmons was so green at the time, but wow he just had that “it” factor that you hear so many guys talk about.
Doom hits hard and fast, but The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express brought out the best in this team. The Express does a great job in making both Reed and Simmons look like world beaters.
Teddy Long gets involved and sets up the win as Reed nails a massive shoulderblock from the top rope for the win after the distraction.
Watch this one, these teams complement each other so well.
