This is better than their match from The Bunkhouse in 1988. I'm nominating it, but not sure if it will go far. The studio was super hot for this. Both guys used headlocks and worked spots around it. With help from the crowd it had a neat energy to it. If the crowd wasn't so good I don't think I'd nominate it. Though the style of match really captured the working style of JCP. We do get a fun post match tacked on for good measure.

NWA World TV Title: "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff © vs. Bobby Eaton (9/9/87)

There is actually dueling chants for this match at the start which was something. Lots of headlocks early on from Nikita and when they do some fast paced stuff it's pretty good but Nikita wants to stay on the mat. Eaton would catch Nikita with a big neckbreaker drop and sent Nikita to the floor giving Bobby a chance to regroup in the ring. Once Nikita was back in the ring Eaton would lock on a reverse chinlock but did hit a sweet missile dropkick off the middle rope for a nearfall. Nikita would make a comeback though teeing off on Eaton having him ready to be pinned but Cornette would get on the apron allowing Lane to hit Nikita with the racquet. Dusty would then run out and put the Weaver Lock on Eaton while Nikita chased off Lane. Disappointing match but a great angle at the end.
