Jeese Ventura & Adrian Adonis vs Verne Gagne & Mad Dog Vachon

March 22, 1980. Minneapolis, Minnesota, The team of the East West Connection, Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Adrian Adonis take on AWA World Tag Team Champions Verne Gagne and Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon

A couple of legends with Verne and Mad Dog. Either in individual competition or as a tag team, the Vachon brothers always put a premium on injuring their opponents. Victory and the winner's money was always foremost but they took pride in breaking bones and having their opponents having to quit wrestling.

This match was agented so sloppily. The heel team almost never had the upper hand at any point.
