Watch this historic No DQ championship bout, when Rocky Johnson and Tony Atlas (later known as the soul patrol) challenge the Wild Samoans with captain Lou Albano for the tag team belts. This match, taking place on November 15 1983, first aired on December 10 1983 to shock WWF audiences. This was the first time a tag team of African American wrestlers became champions.
I was able to find clips of this match online, but not the full thing, so I wanted to upload this, regardless of the quality, in order to share such an amazing piece of history. I apologize for the poor condition, as the source video comes from a VHS recording of the original TV airing.

This is one of the most memorable matches of my childhood, was so excited that Atlas & Johnson won those beautiful tag titles, I think those are still the best version of the belts
