GREG IS BIG NOW

you can start with the concession stand brawl in memphis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTndTO1tqVk

its the genesis for hardcore wrestling other matches had left the ring and brawled in the stands but this was the first to use weird weapons in a match and kinda move out of the ring area in a real sense. others who are more knowledgeable in memphis will have more feuds but this is one of the granddaddays of the style

And during this era of southern wrestling, Atsushi Onita was touring the US with Masanobu Fuchi. When his injuries caught up with his 80s junior heavyweight style, Onita started FMW in Japan based around a higher risk version of the brawling spectacle style he had learned in Memphis.

This page on the history of FMW is a great resource: http://fmwwrestling.us/FMWHistory.html

 Oh also the Magnum TA/Tully Blanchard I Quit match if you want to see some 80s rear end dudes beat the dogshit out of each other until the ring is covered in blood.
