Posted January 16, 20169 yr comment_5721010 Koloffs interview Ron Bass vs Black Bart Big brawl to start. Bass with great punches that Bart bumps big for. Bass goes for the claw early. Bart posts himself into the corner and Bass really works over the arm. Bass has gotten a pretty good shine here. Bart momentarily stuns Bass, but Bass catches him with a cross body. Then is back on the arm. Bass drops the leg on the arm. Then transitions into a Figure 4 on the arm. Bart is selling the pain really well. Bart gets a punch in and gets seperation. Bart is selling the arm throughout. JJ scratched Bass's back and Bart is working it over. He whips Bass back 1st into the corner. For story telling this match is on point. It might lack pop, but is very sound psychology. Low-End Nomination. Jim Crockett Koloffs interview Ivan promo Nikita Koloff vs Walker Flair and Koloffs face off Nikita attacks EXTRA 2nd part of disc I've reviewed for the 1st 12 minutes. NWA World Tag Titles: "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff & Krusher Khruschev © vs. The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) (7/9/85) This is a high end nomination. This was just fantastic. Ivan is so great in shining up the Rock N Roll, and when it's time to sell the faces give back 100%. Gibson sells and sells and sells. The crowd is hot. Both teams look like they've been in a fight. This was quite the match. This disc also has I think the best VQ I've seen of the match.
November 5, 20169 yr comment_5774447 World Championship Wrestling 8/31/85This starts with a promo from the Koloffs with Nikita talking yet again how Flair finds a way to keep his title but his luck will end soon.National Heavyweight Title: Black Bart © vs. Cowboy Ron Bass (8/25/85)Spirited match early on between the former partners which displayed the hatred both men had for each other and Bass had for Dillon as he yelled at him from the ring. Bass really worked over Bart's left arm here with Bart doing a good job of selling the pain. Bart would come firing back sending Bass to the floor where he worked over his back and got some help from Dillon. Bart thought he had Bass for dead and went for the Trash Compactor but he missed and Bass made a comeback picking up Bart to slam him but Dillon put Bart's foot on the bottom rope which wasn't seen by referee Mike Fever until after he made the count. Bart would then backdrop Bass over the top rope for a DQ then Bass chased Dillon in the ring before he left. Screwy finish but this was a really fun hard hitting match based around bodypart work. I'll pass this on as a low-end nomination.Jim Crockett then announced that next week that the Minnesota Wrecking Crew would defend their National Tag Titles against Buzz Sawyer & Terry Taylor next week.Ivan Koloff comes back out with Nikita and talks about how Flair runs away all the time but when Nikita catches him he would be the champ."Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff vs. Jason Walker (8/25/85)Nikita is beating up Walker when Flair shows up and gets in Ivan's face where he talks shit to him saying that Ivan would be his driver while Nikita would be his gardener. This leads to Flair getting jumped by Nikita who rips Flair's clothes off naturally. Flair comes back though and gets Nikita in the figure-four but Ivan jumps in and it's 2-on-1 until Dusty Rhodes makes the save which was quite the visual. Flair comes over to the desk and he is fired up talking about being an American. Slam dunk extra.Best of World Championship Wrestling 9/1/85I've seen all of this already.
