Posted September 26, 201213 yr comment_5515775 The Assassin vs. Mr. Kareem Muhammad (12/25/84) JIP and David Crockett calls this a main event anywhere in the world yeah okay. This was a decent match at best and still great to see Assassin get all the babyface heat. Paul Jones would interfere for the DQ which leads to Assassin attacking him and the debut of The Barbarian who destroyed Assassin. Magnum TA is out next for a promo talking about running all the heels out of the territory. "Avalanche" Buzz Tyler vs. The Inferno (12/25/84) Squash. The Barbarian vs. Sam Houston (12/25/84) Total squash. This is followed up by Paul Jones cutting a promo with Barbarian & Graham and Jones is insane here. Magnum TA vs. Ben Alexander (12/25/84) Squash but not a record time one like he had before. Steve Casey vs. Gary Royal (12/25/84) This is the British Steve Casey and he looks good here. Bunkhouse Match: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, "Mr. Unpredictable" Dick Slater, & Ricky Steamboat vs. Tully Blanchard & The Long Riders (Ron Bass & Black Bart) (12/25/84) Slater comes out wearing this huge cowboy hat and the war is on as soon as they hit the ring. Magnum shows up and puts a rope around Dillon to keep him at bay. The fans are molten hot here as the faces just tee off on the heels with Tully juicing first. We get the great spot where the heels chunk chairs in the ring so the faces can sit down on them to gloat. The heels would finally isolate Dusty & Steamer in the ring and they returned the beatdown with everyone bleeding now pretty much. TV time ran out as the faces were making their comeback which sucks. Slam dunk extra. The next show starts out with Dusty & Manny accepting the challenge from the Road Warriors for a shot at their NWA tag titles which is followed up by the champs commenting over clips from a Roadies squash. Steamer comes out next for a promo talking about wanting to get another shot at Flair in 1985. Tully Blanchard & The Long Riders (Ron Bass & Black Bart) vs. David Diamond, Tommy Lane, & Lee Ramsey (1/2/85) This is a methodical squash as the heels just play with these guys. The Barbarian vs. Joel Deaton (1/2/85) Deaton puts up a fight here but fails. Tully comes out next and talks about how he is looking for his Perfect 10 and wants the women to send in their pictures. Definite extra. The Long Riders are out next and they talk about how Dillon is on a recruiting tour to add more members to the family. The Assassin vs. Curtis Harrison (1/2/85) Squash. Paul Jones is out next and he narrates over clips of SBG vs. Adias from 12/25/84. Magnum TA vs. Doug Vines (1/2/85) Very easy win. Dusty is out next and he narrates over clips of Kernodle vs. Ivan from 12/25/84. Dusty is great here delivering a patriotic speech that Bill Watts would be proud of. Definite extra.
