Original Airdate: September 20, 1986 (taped September 14)
From Atlanta, Georgia; Your Hosts are Tony Schiavone and David Crockett
Buddy Landel and Bill Dundee swing by, promising to become the next NWA United States Tag Team champions
Baron von Raschke v Tom Barrett: Why did wrestling commentators in the 1980s think putting over armdrags was some kind of flex? Baron hooks the clawhold for the pin at 2:09. DUD
Jim Cornette is out, and swearing vengeance on Paul Ellering and the Road Warriors
NWA World Champion Ric Flair is out, and I love the guy, but how many weeks will he do his boilerplate ‘Dusty isn’t a man, Magnum isn’t a man’ promo? I mean, even his boilerplate is better than most guys’ best, but some direction would be welcome
The Rock 'n' Roll Express v Gene Ligon and Mike Somaini: The NWA World Tag Team title is not on the line here, and they finally have the Reggie Parks version of the belts now. The Express with a combo at 2:55. DUD
NWA Television Champion Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA are out to yell about being American
Tully Blanchard is out, and unimpressed with Dusty’s yelling
Arn Anderson v Jack Jackson: The idea here is that Arn is going to take his frustrations with Dusty out on Jackson, and he finishes with the gourdbuster at 3:52. Afterwards, Arn swings by the desk, promising to get the TV title back from Rhodes. DUD
The Midnight Express are out, and Cornette dubs them the ‘giant killers,’ since they’re going to prove the Road Warriors aren’t as indestructible as everyone thinks. And they’ve already put Animal on the shelf, and Hawk is next
The Russians are out, and they want all the damned tag belts
The Kansas Jayhawks v Tony Zane and Pablo Crenshaw: The Jayhawks should have worn mohawks. They could have been ten time champions! The Jayhawks put this away with a combo at 3:48. DUD
Dick Murdoch is out, and looks like he just polished off a six pack before coming through the curtain. Gosh
Ron Garvin and Dick Murdoch v Bill Mulkey and Randy Mulkey: Dick puts this away with a hanging brainbuster at 2:51. DUD
NWA National Champion Wahoo McDaniel is ready for NWA United States Champion Nikita Koloff in their upcoming unification match
BUExperience: This week did nothing for me, but I do like the direction with the Express/Warriors feud.
