NWA World Tag Titles: The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) © vs. Cowboy Ron Bass & "Pride of the Carolinas" Don Kernodle (2/15/86)

Bass & Kerndole look strong early on taking it to the MX and Cornette slowly gets frustrated with Tony and the fans are loving it. Bobby though weaken Bass enough so he could hit the Alabama Jam but it was only for a 1 count which was something else. Kernodle gets the tag and he comes in a house of fire and the faces are back in control again. MX are being dismantled here until they finally start using some double-teams to work over Bass taking their out their aggression from earlier. Bobby went up top and missed a big diving elbow drop allowing Bass to tag in Kernodle but he is quickly neutralized so Bass comes back in and we have a 4-way brawl where Bass gets the Iron Claw on Condrey. Cornette would then whack Bass in the back with the racquet for the DQ and then used it again before the RnR made the save. I thought this was a really good TV match and I'm throwing it on the block as a low-end nomination.

 

MX vs Bass/Kernodle

A solid match, but not nom worthy.
