  3. It is unknown who Hodge & Parente win the titles from.
  4. This was a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match
  5. The titles are vacated when Dutch Savage leaves the area. Presumably, the Blondes win a tournament for the vacant titles.
  6. Initially, The Kentuckians replace Bill Watts & Billy Red Lyons in a Best of 5 Falls Match against Von Erich & Von Brauner. The titles were stripped from them until they defeated the former champions in a decisive manner.
  7. Garvin & Myers will defeat Jones & Mantell and The Continental Warriors on Sep 4, 1972 in a tournament to end the controversy over who the rightful tag team champions are.

The Tulsa World reported that on December 12, 1965, Jack Brisco & Lou Thesz def. The Assassins for the titles, but this title change does not appear in any other history for this title, so it is presumed to be overturned sometimes shortly thereafter.
  19. The titles were held up on April 14 following a match against the Red Raiders (Dick Dunn & Billy Garrett). The Assassins won a rematch to reclaim the belts.
  20. The title history becomes unclear here. It's unknown how Fuji & Yokouchi lose the belts or how Garvin & Myers win them.
  21. The title history again becomes unclear here. It's unknown how Garvin & Myers lose the belts or how Yokouchi & Fuji regain them.

  24. Watts & Kozak are no longer champions sometime after September 30, 1963. It is not known how Krauser & Pulaski become champions.
