The James Boys are Magnum and Dusty. This was high energy and all of Corny's antics really put this over the top. The MX were great at bumping and stooging for the Boys. Dusty high fiving David Crockett was a great moment. Cornette taking the belts from ringside was a nice touch. We get a commercial and TA is FIP. This was well done with the MX just cutting off the ring and just beating him down. The hope spots mixed in were really good, even better were the cut offs. The finish was even better with the stereo belly to belly suplexes. Post match with the promos really puts this over the top.

The James Boys (Frank & Jesse) vs. The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) (5/3/86)

 

You knew something was up when the MX's opponents weren't in the ring and then Hank Jr.'s version of Midnight Rider comes blaring over the speakers with the James Boys to follow and Corny immediately knew something was going on. The James Boys dominate the early portion of the match and this is worked like an MX squash match but in reverse. The MX though would make a comeback and worked over Jesse (Magnum) and this was really good because the fans were into this heavily plus MX were so fluid as a team doubling up on Jesse. The James Boys would make a comeback and we would get stereo belly-to-belly suplexes to end the match. The whole presentation here was so damn great and the match was very good as well. Solid nomination.
