World Wide Wrestling 8/16/86

This starts with Flair giving shit to David Crockett who is pissed that Flair beat Dusty to win the title and Flair is awesome here talking about how Dusty lost and why he and the Horsemen rule the world. Extra material.

Best of 7 Series - Match 6 for the US Heavyweight Title: Magnum TA vs. Nikita Koloff (8/10/86)

Magnum is down 3-2 so he must win here to stay alive. I loved Magnum working over Nikita's left arm early and it was just so odd watching Magnum work an actual match on TV not a squash match. We go to a break with Nikita starting to get some traction and we get a Dick Murdoch promo about Dusty losing the title to Flair which was good. We come back to the match where Nikita had Magnum in a rest hold but Magnum would send him to the corner shoulder first on the bad arm. Nikita though would come back with the Cobra Clutch and from there he starts working over Magnum's neck then we go to another break. We come back and Magnum hits Nikita with a desperation shot but Nikita would get Magnum back down with a rest hold. Magnum comes fighting back though throwing some bombs and he had Nikita pinned but Krusher put Nikita's foot on the rope. Nikita then rammed Magnum into Tommy Young sending him to the floor then he hit Magnum with the Russian Sickle but Young was on the floor. Roughhouse Fargo would run out to make the count but Magnum's foot was under the bottom rope right in front of Tommy's face. Tommy then told Fargo what happened and they reversed the decision with Magnum getting a Belly-To-Belly on Nikita to win the match as the fans went apeshit. This had two commercial breaks but it's a damn good match and it is a fairly easy nomination.

Cornette then calls out Baby Doll where he calls her a fat cow then demands an apology from Dusty. Cornette is amazing just ripping up Baby Doll then Bubba attacked Baby Doll which brought out Dusty where he gets jumped by the MX until the babyfaces pulled him off. Definite extra.

"Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch & The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. Tully Blanchard & The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole & Arn Anderson) (8/10/86)

What a fucking match this is and we get just a little of it but it was fun as shit.

Agree on the Extras.

 

Magnum vs Nikita

 

This is another high end nomination . Very similar to #7 but different enough. The crowd was scary when it 1st looked like Magnum lost. When TA wins with the belly to belly it was throwing babies in the air.
