"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin & Michael "PS" Hayes vs. Tommy Angel (1/10/88)

Very quick squash then Magnum interviews the future Freebirds afterwards who want a shot at the NWA World Tag Titles.

Sting vs. Black Bart (1/10/88)

Skandor Akbar is at ringside with Bart as he hasn't left yet but it wasn't too much longer before he would. This is a UWF centric type match which is why it was on this show. Decent back and forth match before Akbar gets on the apron and Sting brings him in for a DQ then bashes him with a steel chair.

Schiavone interviews Flair & Dillon next about Luger wanting a shot at Flair but Dillon wants Flair to focus on Sting and let Arn/Tully take care of Luger. Flair is AWESOME here ripping on Luger/Sting while Schiavone tries not to laugh. Extra material.

"Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin vs. Bob Riddle (1/10/88)

Garvin brutalizes Riddle.

Magnum then interviews Dusty next where he talks about that he wants to defend his US Title on TV through February then after that he wants Flair.

Quick win for Barry.

Schiavone interviews Larry Zbyszko & Baby Doll next and Larry wants that Western States Heritage Title.

Steel Cage Match for the US Tag Titles: The Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) © vs. The Super Powers ("American Dream" Dusty Rhodes & "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff) (1/10/88)

MX pinball early and often for the Super Powers while Dick Murdoch watches from ringside with Corny. TV time would run out after a couple of minutes of action.

Championship Wrestling from Florida 1/30/88

"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin & Michael "PS" Hayes vs. David Isley & Max McGyver (1/17/88)

Squash.

Jack Gregory then interviews Paul Ellering about the 2/2 show in Miami.

Bob Caudle interviews Dusty next about Luger and he says that he would team with him when possible to take out all the heels.

NWA World TV Title: "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff © vs. "Captain" Mike Rotundo (1/17/88)

Rotundo wants to amateur wrestle early on which was funny so Nikita drops an elbow on Mike's back. Nikita works Mike over on the mat showing his wrestling skill. We get two commercial breaks early in the match which hurts the flow and after the 2nd one, Rotundo goes on the offensive sending Nikita to the floor where Sullivan would attack him injuring his left shoulder but Nikita comes back with a sunset flip nearfall. Rotundo would use a hammerlock to keep the pressure on Nikita's arm with Nikita getting some hope spots in which kept the crowd into the match. Nikita would attempt to make a comeback when Sullivan would trip him up and joined the battle in the ring along with Rick Steiner in street clothes as he wasn't a member of the Varsity Club yet. Dusty & RnR would run out to make the save. This was fun but not a nomination.

Next we get Bob Caudle & Jim Ross talking about the Windham/Tully match from Richmond on 1/15/88 with the last minutes shown where they used instant replay to restart the match. This was a wild scene and an early tease for Windham to join the Horsemen.

Sting vs. Chance McQuade (1/17/88)

McQuade flexing in front of Sting was funny then he got destroyed. Sting then tells Jim Ross afterwards that he wants Flair.

"Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch vs. Bob Emery (1/17/88)

Emery has no chance and Caudle interviews Corny & Murdoch afterwards.

The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. Mark Fleming & Gary Royal (1/17/88)

RnR win quickly.

NWA Worldwide 2/27/88

Schiavone interviews Luger & Windham who want their shot at Arn & Tully.

Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Joe Cruz, Trent Knight, & Curtis Thompson (2/13/88)

Always fun seeing the Horsemen team up.

Schiavone interviews Hawk & Ellering next about Road Warrior Animal getting injured in the benchpress contest.

Schiavone then interviews Flair & Dillon about their feud with Sting with Flair talking about fucking Donna Edmonson who was the Playmate of the Year at the time.

Shane Douglas vs. Steve Sampson (2/13/88)

Shane is back and is getting the young scrappy rookie push and the Philadelphia fans are killing him here which is funny considering what happens 6 years later.

Schiavone interviews Rotundo & Sullivan next and they talk about Jimmy Garvin which is the start of that angle.

The disc ends right at the start of a Dusty/Eaton steel cage match.
