NWA (JCP) World Championship Wrestling (September 27, 1986)

 

Original Airdate: September 27, 1986 (taped September 21)

From Atlanta, Georgia; Your Hosts are Tony Schiavone and David Crockett

Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express are out, and they’re thinking of starting a charity to get the Road Warriors back into fighting shape… just so they can have the pleasure of putting them on the shelf again

Jimmy Garvin v Vernon Deaton: I realize that it’s the intention, but man, Garvin’s entrance just makes you hate him. Garvin with a brainbuster at 1:55. DUD

NWA United States Champion Nikita Koloff is out, ready for his unification match against National Champion Wahoo McDaniel

Baron Von Raschke is out to yell ‘nazi’ over and over again

Barbarian and Shaska Whatley v Bill Mulkey and Randy Mulkey: Barbarian puts this one away at 4:00. It shouldn’t take you four minutes to squash such a pasty, white jobber. Even if there are two of him. DUD

NWA Television Champion Dusty Rhodes and Magnum TA are out to talk about going after the United States Tag Team gold

Manny Fernandez and Hector Guerrero v Tony Zane and Golden Terror: Terror eats the pin from Fernandez at 4:21. Would it be mean if I started calling him ‘Fernandezzz?’ Afterwards, Paul Jones comes out to offer Manny money to join his Army, but Fernandez refuses, because he’s not all about the benjamins. DUD

Nikita Koloff v Bill Tabb: The US title is not on the line here. Koloff with the Sickle at 1:37. DUD

Dick Murdoch is out to redneck

Jimmy Valiant v Brodie Chase: Valiant with an elbowdrop at 1:38. And there will end any comparisons between Valiant and the Rock. Afterwards, Valiant swings by to express his love for Manny Fernandez. DUD

The Midnight Express v Paul Garner and Art Pritts: Cornette does guest commentary here, and cracks Tony up with his Elmer Fudd impressions. He’s ‘hunting Warriors,’ you see. The Express squash it up good at 6:27. Too long. DUD

BUExperience: I hate to say it, but I was fighting off sleep throughout this. And no Horsemen?! Thank you, and good night.
