This is a solid nomination and for Arn's T.V belt. These guys worked a dandy of a match. Arn controls early with a headlock. He's using his size and strength advantage on Houston. Everything Arn did was crisp. He nails Houston with a stiff shoulder block and Houston takes a nice flip bump. Houston used his speed through out to try to gain advantage. He would get it here and their but not for long. Houston's cartwheels were nice too. Arn dropped to his knee and delivered a nice forearm to Houston's gut. This allowed Arn to go after Sam's injured arm. This was great and Sam sold it big. Houston was great in his facials and fighting underneath with some well timed hope spots. Houston selling of Arn's punches made them look even better. The finish was great and we've seen from Houston before.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. Sam Houston (2/15/86)

Sam frustrates Arn early and often and this match is totally in his favor as Arn doesn't know what to do to stop him. Arn would finally catch Sam with a shot to the gut and started working over Sam's left arm which the Andersons injured months ago. The armwork here was very good and Sam was just as good at selling everything before making his spirited comeback. Sam would try a cross body block but hit all ropes and Arn would drop a knee on his head to win the match. Very fun TV match and I'll pass this on as a low-end pick.
