Dusty Rhodes, Manny Fernandez, & Magnum TA vs. Ivan & Nikita Koloff, & Krusher Khruschev (7/1/85 = JCP June-October 1985)

"American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, "Ragin Bull" Manny Fernandez, & Magnum TA vs. Ivan & Nikita Koloff, & Krusher Khruschev (7/1/85)

This is a great looking TV match and the fans are molten hot for this. The match started off with a bang as everyone got shots in on Ivan before it turned into a 6-way brawl which in the process Tommy Young got clipped by mistake and hurt his knee which he was trying to shake off the whole match. Magnum at one point demands Nikita come in the ring and it was cool to see them going at it a year before their legendary feud. We get a commercial break during this part but we come back with the faces still in control but we have a new referee as Roughhouse Fargo takes over for Tommy. Dusty gets dominated by the Russians in their corner and he works FIP and this was really good as the fans were nuts for Dusty trying to get to his corner which he would do getting the hot tag to Manny who ran wild on Krusher. The match would soon break down into a 6-way brawl but order would be restored and the Russians would work over Manny but he hits a desperation clothesline on Ivan and it's back to a 6-way brawl again with Bull being thrown over the top rope for the DQ. Shitty finish but again this match was a blast and this is a low-end nomination.
