World Championship Wrestling 8/2/86

David Crockett starts the show in an empty Atlanta Fulton-County Stadium talking about the final show of the Bash tour would be taking place that night in the stadium. Very cool opening.

Schiavone then is sitting at an empty Techwood Studios where they would be having interviews at during the show and he announced that Dusty Rhodes was the new NWA World Champ.

Ivan & Krusher start the show in a promo talking about Dusty being the new champ and they think that he is now distracted and that they will get their NWA World 6-Man Titles back.

Ivan & Nikita Koloff, & Krusher Khruschev vs. Randy Barber, Vernon Deaton, & Mike Simani (7/27/86)

Russians are dominant here.

Dusty is out next for a promo with his newly won NWA World Heavyweight Title belt talking about beating Flair. Dusty then went on a great diatribe about everything and this is a slam dunk extra.

Next we get clips of the Roadies/MX match from 7/6 in Raleigh with Dusty on narration.

Tony then talks about Jimmy Valiant losing his hair in a controversial finish to Paul Jones on 7/26 in Greensboro with clips to follow. This is extra material.

Then we get Bill Apter interviewing Paul Jones about him taking Valiant's hair and he is hilarious here gloating about it. Extra material.

Tony then is joined by the Roadies & Ellering talking about their cage match that night against the MX and how they are going to destroy them.

Flair joins Tony next talking about losing his title to Dusty in Greensboro and he said that even though he isn't the champion he is still Ric Flair and he will get his belt back soon. Flair taking shots at the Braves annoncers was hilarious because Skip Caray would always take shots at wrestling. We also get clips of Dusty winning the title. Extra material.

The Minnesota Wrecking Crew join Tony next talking about Flair's loss to Dusty and they narrate over clips of Ronnie Garvin vs. Black Bart from 7/6. Ole then cuts an awesome promo on Dusty saying that they would finish him for good later that night. Extra material.

Tony is joined next by debuting Bill Dundee and the returning Buddy Landell and this is awesome stuff. Extra material.

"Nature Boy" Buddy Landell vs. George South (7/27/86)

There is a great shot of a young Terri Boatwright (Runnels) watching the match from the curtain area as Budro takes out South. Budro's standing dropkick on the floor was nuts.

Tony is then joined by the debuting Kansas Jayhawks (Bobby Jaggers & Dutch Mantell) and JCP is loading up their roster right now. The Jayhawks want a shot at the MX in the worst way.

Tony then is joined by the debuting "Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch who is back to help his former partner Dusty Rhodes in his battle with the Horsemen. Murdoch openly mentioning the WWF was so hilarious. Murdoch also went off on the Russians and said that he was here for America. Extra material.

"Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch vs. Bill Mulkey (7/27/86)

Murdoch nukes Mulkey with the Brainbuster.
