NWA (JCP) World Championship Wrestling (November 15, 1986)

 

Original Airdate: November 15, 1986 (taped November 9)

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

Jim Cornette is out, promising to chuck the Road Warriors off the scaffold at Starrcade. Or, well, the Midnight’s will do it

Six-Man Tag Team Match: Bobby Eaton, Dennis Condrey, and Big Bubba Rogers v Vernon Deaton, Allen West, and Lee Peek: Cornette stays on to do commentary here, as usual. Hey, they have a supercard coming up, and the man is a hype machine - why not? Eaton finishes this one with a flying legdrop at 2:11. DUD

Rick Rude is out, promising to give Wahoo McDaniel his first ever loss in an Indian Strap match

Tony is in the control center for the Starrcade Report

Bill Dundee is out, and he doesn’t like rednecks, so he’ll be taking it out on Sam Houston

Tim Horner and Ricky Lee Jones v Bill Mulkey and Randy Mulkey: Really throwing out the biggest matches and making the most of their short runtime this week, aren’t they? The worst part is: Horner wasn’t even tagging with Jones against the Kernodle’s at Starrcade. Jones with a cradle at 2:36. DUD

NWA World Champion Ric Flair is out, and he thinks Nikita Koloff is like a lot of these girls out here with the ‘full sweaters and empty heads,’ so he’s not worried about the challenge at Starrcade

Tully Blanchard v Keith Patterson: Blanchard puts this away with the slingshot suplex at 1:12. Afterwards, Tully and JJ Dillon swing by the desk, promising to do their part to bring all the gold to the Horsemen at Starrcade. DUD

Brad Armstrong v Tony Zane: I like Armstrong as a plucky babyface, he was perfectly suited for the role. He puts Zane away at a brisk 0:57. DUD

Nikita Koloff and Dusty Rhodes are out, and they’re going to show the Horsemen just how ready they are for Starrcade

Cornette is back out, and he’s got the Midnight’s trained and ready for what the scaffold entails

Rick Rude v Paul Garner: Rude quickly puts this away with a DDT at 0:40. It still bugs me that there used to be another move he called the ‘Rude Awakening’ before the neckbreaker. DUD

Cornette is out yet again, once again talking about the scaffold match

BUExperience: A short episode, and it flew by.
