World Championship Wrestling 8/30/86

"Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch vs. Mike Rose (8/30/86)

Murdoch wins handily with the Brainbuster.

Wahoo is out next with his newly won National Heavyweight Title which he won from Tully at The Forum in Los Angeles two days earlier. Wahoo said that he would be fighting champion and it would be tough to beat him. Jim Crockett then came out and made an announcement that the National Tag Titles are being brought back but they are changing the name of the belts to the United States Tag Titles.

The Kansas Jayhawks (Bobby Jaggers & Dutch Mantell) vs. Randy Barber & Alan Martin (8/30/86)

Again another impressive showing for the Jayhawks who go to Cornette after the match with Jaggers demanding the MX face them as Dutch cracks the whip. Bubba of course stands in Cornette's way as they trade barbs at each other.

Murdoch is back out with Tony now talking about getting his shot at Flair at The Omni the next day and how it's going to be a battle each time they face off.

Chief Wahoo McDaniel vs. Tony Zane (8/30/86)

Wahoo wears his new belt to the ring and takes care of Zane easily.

Cornette & MX are out next talking about how his mother fell in love with Baby Doll and they made the peace at some social event. Cornette then shifts to Bubba & Dusty facing off in a cage match and how the MX will get their belts back.

Sam Houston vs. Jack Weathers (8/30/86)

Sam gets a spotlight match here.

Dundee & Landell are out next talking about how Sam Houston beat Jerry Lawler in Kansas City last week and Lawler definitely ain't no Dundee or Landell. They call out Murdoch next then Dusty, Magnum, and just about everyone else. Again I loved Dundee & Landell here.

The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. Phil Brown & Lee Peak (8/30/86)

RnR win very easily here.

Flair & Baby Doll are out next wearing matching sunglasses and Baby Doll has had a makeover. Flair talks about the Horsemen will be at a celebrity fishing tournament in Myrtle Beach before shifting to Murdoch talking about their upcoming matches. Flair then talks about Landell saying that Space Mountain closing up and he explained why Space Mountain came to be and that Landell was the Wild Mouse then he calls Dundee a tinker bell. Definite extra.

"Superstar" Bill Dundee & "Nature Boy" Buddy Landell vs. Vernon Deaton & Rocky King (8/30/86)

Dundee & Landell look very good here as a team.

Next we get Craig Sager & Warren Spahn who were special guests and this was an odd moment but awesome.

The Russians come out next talking about how Nikita is the US Champ so Ivan & Krusher want to be the US Tag Champs showing that the Russians truly own America. They also show clips of Nikita getting KOed by Garvin on World Wide.

"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin vs. Rocky Kernodle (8/30/86)

Another impressive win for Garvin and then he joins Cornette along with Precious talking about wanting bigger and better things such as Magnum TA. Garvin said that he used to be a male dancer in San Francisco.

America's Team is out next and Magnum fires back at Garvin saying that he better get ready for battle. Dusty then talks about how Baby Doll is a loose woman and then talks about Flair having chubby girls as his fans. Extra material.

"Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant vs. Art Pritts (8/30/86)

The old Valiant is back as he dances around the ring hugging fans then he mauls Pritts.

Tully & Dillon are out next talking about Wahoo winning the National Title but they know that Tully was the greatest National Champ of all-time and that he would get his belt back. Then they talk about Dusty and how Tully is the reason why he lost the NWA Title.

Cornette then has the Andersons with him next who of course talk about Dusty and the RnR who they have had problems with already but now that they have the belts they have even more motivation to beat them. Ole then talks about "Tulsa Tubby" and said that he may be coming his way soon. Interesting shot at Bill Watts there. Arn talks about being the TV Champ and how Tully's loss woke him up so he must be on alert at all times.

The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole & Arn Anderson) vs. Italian Stallion & Henry Rutley (8/30/86)

Stallion shows some promise early but this is all Andersons.

Roadies are out next with Ellering wearing the spikes and blue jeans which was a cool look. Roadies said that they are still here and violent as ever.

Ric Flair vs. Mike Jackson (8/30/86)

The fans yell "TRAITOR" at Baby Doll and I loved Flair shaking Mike's hand before the match. Flair always gave Mike some offense in their matches and this one was no different. Flair would send Jackson hard to the floor but Jackson would come firing back when back in the ring and Flair was all sorts of flustered. Jackson then sent Flair over the top to the floor then Flair came off the top rope and met a shot by Jackson. Flair is now pissed and he holds Jackson so Baby Doll can slap him a few times. Flair had Jackson down but Mike came back with a figure-four of his own and Techwood was going nuts for Mike. This was crazy to watch as Jackson suplexed Flair from the apron back to the ring then started teeing off on Flair until eating an elbow to the face. Jackson again fired back until missing a cross body block hitting all ropes and Flair then got the Figure-Four Leglock to win. Baby Doll then attacks Jackson again for good measure. This was a fucking blast and I'm putting this up on the block as a nomination.

"Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff vs. David Spencer (8/30/86)

Nikita destroys Spencer.

Cornette then interviews Paul Jones and the Army who again talk about Valiant and how they plan to retire him.

Baron Von Raschke, Teijho Khan, & Shaska Whatley vs. Johnnie Cook, Mark Cooper, & Charles Freeman (8/30/86)

These jobbers look like the biggest jobbers in the history of the world and they are total goofs.

Murdoch comes back out with Tony and he talks about Flair & Baby Doll beating on Jackson earlier and Murdoch said that Baby Doll was like a mare on the ranch which brings out Flair and the Horsemen for a confrontation. Murdoch tells them to go the ring where they are met by America's Team & Ronnie Garvin for a wild brawl. The credits roll while the brawl is going on which was great. Definite extra.
