NOTE: These first couple of matches are not my best work. However, they are the very beginning matches and therefore don't have too much intensity involved in them. More will come as time progresses.
March 9, 1978
National Guard Armory
Tupelo, MS
Littleton and Jackson are standing in the center of the ring. Two young blondes walk down to the ring with the crowd adoring them. They make it to the ring with a few complications.
From the other side of the arena, two much larger masked men are led to the ring by a shorter man with a chiseled goatee. Once they enter the ring, Littleton begins the announcement.
"The following match is set for one fall with a forty-five minute time limit. It is for the Mississippi State Tag Team Title." The crowd cheers. "The referee for this match is Tom Jackson."
Littleton points to the two blondes. "Introducing first, from Holly Springs, MS, weighing in at a total combined weight of 484 pounds, are Travis and Troy ... the Canby Twins!!!" The crowd cheers ecstatically.
"Their opponents, accompanied to the ring by their manager Jason James, from Mount Olympus, weighing in at a total combined weight of 597 pounds, are the Argonauts!!!" The crowd boos terribly.
The Canbys and the Argonauts face each other in the middle of the ring. The Canbys don't seem intimidated by the much larger Argonauts. Jackson tries to keep order and force two of the men out of the ring. After a moment, Troy and #2 leave the ring. Jackson calls for the bell.
Travis and #1 circle the ring. They lock up. #1 easily shoves Travis into a neutral corner. Jackson calls for a break. #1 backs away, but slams into the corner with a back elbow to Travis' jaw. #1 whips him across the ring. Travis staggers out of the corner into a sidewalk slam. #1 picks him up by the hair.

He bounces off the opposite ropes with a flying body press, but the Argonauts catch him and drill him into the mat with a double spinebuster slam. #1 throws him back into the Argonauts' corner. #2 climbs out of the ring as #1 drives his knee into Travis' chest. He whips Travis along the side of the ring. Travis ducks a clothesline from #1, but #2 nails him with a knee to the back. Jackson warns #2 about interfering.
#1 tags #2 as he grabs Travis and presses him over his head. #2 charges Troy with a forearm smash. Troy climbs into the ring. Jackson tries to get him out of the ring. While Jackson is distracted, the Argonauts drill Travis into the mat with a spike piledriver. Both Argonauts stomp away on Travis' chest and stomach. Troy tries to tell Jackson to turn around, but Jackson continues to put him back in his corner. #2 drops a leg across Travis' throat as #1 leaves the ring.
Troy finally leaves the ring as #2 rolls Travis over for a pin. Jackson finally gets into position for a pin count, but only gets a two. #2 whips Travis into the ropes. He goes for a running clothesline, but Travis holds onto the rope and backdrops him over the top rope to the floor. Travis crawls over to his corner and tags in Troy. #2 grabs Travis' leg and drags him out of the ring. #2 whips Travis into the guardrail.

Troy lands on the ring apron, but #2 slams him into the ringpost. Troy falls to the floor. #2 steps through the ropes to break the count at four and drops down to the floor himself. Travis drops to the floor to protect his brother. Jackson tells him to get back in his corner. He also tells #2 and Troy to get back into the ring. #2 slams Troy's head into the ring apron and rolls him into the ring. #2 climbs onto the ring apron and is met with an elbow from Travis. #2 shoves him off the ring apron and steps through the ropes.

Travis tries to reach his brother for a tag, but #2 pulls him away just in time. #2 tags in #1. The Argonauts back Troy into the ropes and whip him across the ring. Troy ducks a double clothesline, but he can't avoid a double kick on the way back. #1 backs Troy into the ropes again as #2 leaves the ring. Jackson calls for a break. #1 releases Troy, backs up a step and charges him with a kneelift. Troy falls out of the ring. #2 goes to climb out of the ring, but Jackson stops him. Jackson backs him into the middle of the ring.

The Argonauts take turns dropping elbows across his chest. Jackson regains his bearings and tells #2 to get out of the ring. #2 complies as #1 makes the cover. Jackson slowly gets down to make the count ..... one ..... two ..... three!!! Jackson calls for the bell.
Littleton grabs the microphone and proclaims to the crowd, "The winners of the match, in a time of 18:29, and NEW Mississippi State Tag Team champions, are the Argonauts!!!"
The crowd boos terribly at the announcement as the Argonauts and Jason celebrate with the belts. Travis rolls back into the ring and nails #2 from behind. Jason grabs him and whips him into the ropes. #2 lifts Travis up in a Hotshot. #1 grabs Travis' head and drives him into the mat with a neck snap.
With both Canby twins lying motionless in the middle of the ring, the Argonauts and Jason leave the ring with the tag team title belts.
