1984 – In World Class Championship Wrestling, The Fabulous Freebirds (Michael Hayes, Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts) lost the WCCW Six-Man Tag Team Championship in an elimination handicap match to Kerry and Kevin Von Erich.

The match was a handicap match because a third Von Erich brother, Mike, was injured earlier on the card in a match with Gino Hernandez.

Kerry was eliminated first before Kevin beat 3-on-1 odds to sweep all three ‘Birds and win the match. The match was also a ‘Loser Leaves Town’ match and served as a write-off for The Freebirds who moved to the WWF for a short stint.

1989 – The Great Muta defeated Sting in a No-DQ match in Atlanta, Georgia to win the NWA World Television Championship.

2018 – Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated The B-Team (Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel) to win the Raw Tag Team Championship on an episode of Monday Night Raw.
