NWA (JCP) World Championship Wrestling (October 4, 1986)

 

Original Airdate: October 4, 1986 (taped September 28)


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


Arn Anderson and Ole Anderson are out to talk about their favorite subject: Dusty Rhodes


Magnum TA v Vernon Deaton: Magnum puts this away quickly with the belly-to-belly suplex at 0:18. DUD


Paul Jones and Baron von Raschke are out, celebrating the arrival of Rick Rude


Jimmy Valiant is out, really excited about Missouri. Nice that someone is


Manny Fernandez v Mike Somaini: Fernandez with the jumping forearm at 1:00. I’m sorry, but calling the move the ‘flying burrito’ just feels wrong. Very, very wrong. DUD


Buddy Landel and Bill Dundee are out to talk films. Dundee is proud that ‘Crocodile Dundee’ is the number one movie in the country


Tim Horner v Randy Mulkey: But which one is the jobber? Horner with a bridging cradle at 1:49. Oh, okay then. DUD


Robert Gibson is out to try and put Horner over as a future star. Way to tank your credibility 


Six-Man Tag Team Match: Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Ole Anderson v Bill Tabb, Charles Freeman, and Rocky Kernodle: JJ Dillon stops by to do a little commentary here, on the way to the Horsemen picking up a win at 3:55. DUD


Dusty Rhodes is out to talk about his favorite subject: the Horsemen 


Shaska Whatley and Baron von Raschke v Bill Mulkey and Lee Peak: Shaska puts this away with a superplex at 2:30. DUD


Jim Cornette is out to threaten both the Road Warriors and the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. With lightning. That feels like a very complication threat to make good on


The Midnight Express v Randy Barber and Pablo Crenshaw: The rocket launcher finishes at 1:46. DUD


Ric Flair is out, but he doesn’t have much to sink his teeth into this week. Just his usual ‘shoes, Rolex, suit’ promo


Magnum is back out, and he’s not ducking Jimmy Garvin


Ron Garvin v Gary Royal: Garvin wraps it up quickly with a knockout punch for the pin at 0:12. DUD


Jimmy Garvin is out, and threatens to have Magnum arrested for putting hands on Precious. Sounds fair


BUExperience: This was a really short episode, which meant the matches were brilliantly short. But there was nothing going on here, with very little angle development, and a lot of wheel spinning.
