NWA (JCP) World Championship Wrestling (January 10, 1987)

 

Original Airdate: January 10, 1987

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

The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are out to show off their winter coats

Jimmy Garvin v Keith Vincent: The ring is mic’d unnervingly loudly this week. Garvin with a brainbuster at 3:40. DUD

NWA Central States Champion Bill Dundee is out to celebrate his new title

Recently, Jim Cornette celebrates Big Bubba Rogers winning the Bunkhouse Stampede, but Jim Crockett Jr is immediately out to rain on his parade, noting that Bubba and Dusty Rhodes won the same number of matches, so they need to have a cage match to break the tie

Brad Armstrong v Tommy Angel: I’ve always liked Brad, despite him never being particularly interesting. Armstrong with the Russian legsweep at 5:03. DUD

NWA United States Tag Team Champions Ron Garvin and Barry Windham are out, claiming to be tougher than the Horsemen, since they don’t need to gang up to beat people up. You’re literally a tag team! 

Bill Dundee v Randy Barber: The NWA Central States title is not on the line in this one. Dundee with a flying kneedrop at 4:36. DUD

Cornette and Big Bubba are out, calling bullshit on Crockett’s ruling about the Stampede

Dusty is out, and he thinks Crockett’s ruling is hunky dory

Nikita Koloff v Larry Stephens: Koloff isn’t defending the NWA United States title here. He eats Stephens alive with the lariat at 0:33. DUD

NWA Television Title Match: Tully Blanchard v Allen Martin: Tully is also putting up $10,000, just because he’s so arrogant. Blanchard gets the pin with a slingshot suplex at 3:29. DUD

NWA World Champion Ric Flair is out to mock Koloff

Blanchard is back out, barely breathing after such a challenging title defense earlier on

The Rock 'n' Roll Express v Alan West and Eddie Roberts: The Express put this one away at 7:27. As usual, they just took forever to do their squashing. DUD

Dick Murdoch is out to prove that he can read a map. I still don’t buy it

The Road Warriors v David Isley and Ray Allen: The Warriors are out like they’re trying to teach the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express about how squashes work, and they finish up at 2:09. Afterwards, the Warrior swing by the desk to call heels ‘sluts.’ It plays. ¼*

Ron Garvin and Barry Windham v Bill Mulkey and Randy Mulkey: The NWA United States Tag Team title is not on the line here. Windham scores the pin at 6:42. Again, too long. DUD

Ivan Koloff is out to talk up Vladimir Petrov

Handicap Match: Vladimir Petrov v George South and Vernon Deaton: I genuinely enjoy the way the announcers pronounce ‘Petrov.’ He kills these geeks at 0:37. That a boy. DUD

Cornette is back out, since I think he physically cannot stop speaking for longer than twenty minutes, or he’ll die

Ivan Koloff v Zane Smith: Ivan takes forever before finally putting Zane away at 6:06. DUD

Nikita Koloff is back out, and he ain’t a’scared of Ivan, or his new pet Vladimir 

Dick Murdoch v Brodie Chase: “The NWA: the major league! With stars like Captain Redneck!” Yeah, nothing says ‘major league’ than a fat guy in tightie whities who calls himself ‘Captain Redneck.’ Nothing. Murdoch with a brianbuster at 3:39. DUD

Ivan is back out to keep talking Petrov up. Just fuck off already

BUExperience: Just fuck off already.
