Posted December 27, 201212 yr comment_5524023 This starts with highlights of Flair/Jimmy Garvin from 12/10/87 that ended in a wild brawl with Hayes/Arn/Tully wrapped around a promo from Garvin & Hayes. "Total Package" Lex Luger vs. Keith Steinborn (12/28/87) Luger gets a standing ovation here from the St. Louis fans. Luger says afterwards that 1988 will be his year. Corny & MX cut a promo next about the Super Powers with Stan Lane calling Nikita a plumber's helper. "Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko vs. Lee Peak (12/28/87) Squash. NWA World TV Title: "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff vs. The Menace (12/28/87) Squash. "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton vs. Chris Champion (12/27/87) This is from Charleston, WV and this should be fun. Dillon is on commentary here with Schiavone and his potshots at Corny were good. Champion works over Bobby's left arm early and often keeping him grounded before breaking out a couple of huracaranas that send Eaton to the floor and drives the fans crazy. Corny sits Eaton in a chair and fans him with a racket to revive him which is funny. They go to a fucking Dusty video for no reason as Champion goes back on offense but it doesn't look like we missed anything coming back from the break. The camerman totally misses a crazy dive by Champion to the floor which popped the crowd like crazy and Champion follows with a slingshot clothesline. Eaton would soon go on offense though and with some help from Corny works over Champion who is really good at selling here. Eaton then goes to working on Champion's left arm which you would think he would go for the right one since he had the cast on it but this is wrestling and they work from that side but this is still done well. Champion's selling totally makes this as he acts like his arm is about to be ripped off at anytime. Champion fires up with some great punches and comes back on Eaton hitting a lariat with his cast but Corny would pull him off of Eaton and Eaton would hit a diving elbow with Corny holding the foot to get the win. This was a very fun TV match and a really good spotlight type of match for Champion. I'm putting this on the block. The Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) vs. Max McGiver & Lee Peak (1/6/88) This is at TBS studios and a fun MX squash. Corny is all over it here on the mic. NWA World TV Title: "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff © vs. Jeff Crews (1/6/88) Squash and this is Joe Cruz under yet another name. "Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch vs. Ricky Nelson (1/6/88) Corny makes his debut as Murdoch's manager and this is a total squash. Fun promo afterwards. NWA World Tag Titles: "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard © vs. Sting & Barry Windham (1/17/88) This is an interesting match from Charleston, WV. The champs are so fun here early on bumping like crazy here for the faces who show good chemistry for guys that had rarely ever teamed with each other. Sting is on the verge of getting the rocket on his back and this is a good way of achieving it as the champs make him look really good here. We get a clip here and the Horsemen are working over Sting's left knee here so we missed how that happened. The champs work over the leg fiercely and even have help from Dillon who is doing commentary as he grabs Tully's hand while he had Sting in the figure-four. Sting is very good at selling here and got the crowd buzzing for the hot tag which Windham got and came in a house of fire. Dillon complains about his foot hurting him on commentary so he hands his shoe to Arn who would use it on Windham for the DQ. Fun match with a cheap finish. The Powers of Pain (The Barbarian & The Warlord) vs. Clement Fields & Keith Steinborn (1/13/88) Squash and a promo afterwards. Luger comes out for a promo taking his shirt off and calling out the Horsemen. Good stuff. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Ed Franks & Lee Peak (1/13/88) Squash.
