This was a really hot match. For crowd heat it's a slam dunk nomination. For work this is really good. Their is a lot of cool stuff in this. The dynamic between the teams is awesome. The top 3 faces in the NWA vs the 3 best heels in the NWA. All 3 worked really hard and had a tremendous match. Luger did some good work as FIP. They worked a southern tag for 6 here. I loved watching Sting and Luger flex while Barry just stood there. Of course Flair begs off from the pose. The heels were just great at stooging. Arn's bug eyed sell was awesome. Their was some nice false finishes sprinkled in. The actual finish worked for me. High end nomination.

 

NWA Main Event 4/3/88

Oops can someone move this to part 2?

"The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, & "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. "Total Package" Lex Luger, Sting, & Barry Windham (3/31/88)

This is a helluva way to main event a new TV show and the Spartanburg crowd is molten hot for this whole thing. We have some clipping but this is a really damn fun match with the faces dominating to start and the Horsemen of course are great at bumping and selling. Arn would nuke Luger with the DDT and that started the Horsemen offensive barrage as all three of them got their shots in on Luger who was very good at playing FIP. Windham got the hot tag and ran wild before flying over the top rope to the floor and this is where the match broke down. Dillon threw some knux at Tully who decked Windham numerous times in the head before pinning him to win. Different finish and this was a blast that moves forward fairly easily.
