This is a no frills match. Just a nice match with structure and story telling. We see Garvin do his best Ole impersonation and hit Arn with stiff strikes. He'd grab and twist and contort Arn's arm. He'd even headbutt it. This is real good arm work that Arn sells it big. Arn nails Garvin with a back drop.This allows Arn to focus his attack on Garvin's back. Ric Flair is out. Garvin has Arn in an adominal stretch as time expires. Post match Flair distracts Garvin and this allows Arn to lay him out with a Gordbuster. In the end I don't know how far this match will go.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin (3/1/86)

Some really good back and forth wrestling to start here and then Garvin starts stretching and twisting Arn which was great. Flair would come out as Ronnie is torturing Arn and said that there was no way Arn would lose this match. Arn would soon recover and the action picks up as both men try to finish the other one off but Arn remembered that time was on his side and he would stall when he could to save time. Garvin would get Arn in an abdominal stretch right as the bell rang for the draw and then Flair baited Garvin so Arn could attack him from behind and drop him with the Gourdbuster. This was a damn good match and a fairly easy nomination.
