NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin (4/5/86)

This is a rematch from a few weeks ago and Arn remembered the last match so he starts stalling early in this one. Arn tries to grapple early but Garvin wants to fight and he starts striking Arn hard and heavy before he starts his stretching routine. Arn would get up and we get a street fight basically now before Arn goes to the floor to stall again. Once Arn goes back to the ring we get some more really good action and now Tully & Dillon have come to ringside to watch what's going on. After some rough and tumble action, Garvin had Arn ready for the KO but Arn ducked to the floor to stall yet again in a smart move. Garvin would lock on an abdominal stretch when Tully would run in for the DQ and they put him out with the spiked Gourdbuster. They also would bash Garvin's right hand around the ringpost where Tully takes off his boot and just bashes it numerous times trying to break it. The match was really good and the finishing angle was really strong so I say this should be a nomination.

Cornette comes out next bragging about Louisville winning the NCAA College Basketball National Championship and said that it's just the beginning as the MX is bringing the Crockett Cup back to Louisville.

The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) vs. Denny Brown & Mike Simani (4/5/86)

Here is the NWA World Jr. Heavyweight Champ teaming with a jobber and Denny had some moments but the MX were a machine in this time period and couldn't be stopped.

Ivan & Nikita are out next upset about Magnum hanging Nikita with the chain. Nikita takes off his shirt and flexes while yelling at Magnum.
