National Heavyweight Title: Tully Blanchard © vs. "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin (4/29/86)

Garvin is definitely the aggressor early on as the crowd goes nuts when he just throws Tully from pillar to post. Garvin just lays in the shots but he sells the pain from each shot on his hand so he wants to take the match to the mat to take the pressure off of his hand. Garvin also would use his jumping headbutts as a big weapon as well which one of them forced a little trickle of blood from over Tully's eye. Tully is like a ragdoll here just taking punishment from all directions but he stays alive showing his resiliency. Tully watch Ronnie with a big knee to the gut sending him to the floor and that allowed Tully to get control of the match or so I thought as Garvin came back with a cross body block off the top rope for a nearfall. Garvin is selling that hand like crazy though even to the point where he couldn't even hook the leg on a pinfall attempt. Garvin would start focusing on Tully's left leg working it over hard stretching it around the ringpost with Tully yelling loudly in pain. This is becoming a completely grueling battle and the tide would turn when Garvin would get rammed into the ringpost shoulder first then Tully would grab Dillon's shoe and banged him over the head with it. Tully then started working over Garvin's bad right hand but Garvin wouldn't say die and would find ways to stay alive as well getting offense in. Garvin breaks out the Garvin Stomp here maybe for the first time and Dusty was fucking great calling the move.....This is now in slugfest territory as both men trade big shots but both won't go down. Garvin would throw Tully into Tommy Young so Dusty went over and taped Garvin's hand while Dillon gave Tully some coins but Garvin hit him first and Tommy counted the pinfall. The building goes nuts as Dillon points to the tape on the hand and tells Young that Garvin used them so he grabbed the belt and handed it back to Tully. The announcers were trying to tell Tommy about the coins which JJ was picking up and this was quite the creative finish even though it was bullshit. The match was fucking tremendous and a slam dunk nomination.

Then we got to the locker room with Tully & Dillon who were celebrating victory.

World Wide Wrestling 5/10/86

This starts with Paul Jones & Shaska Whatley talking about shaving Valiant's head making him a bald headed geek. Shaska calling Manny Fernandez an "off brand colored boy" was hilarious.

Tully wins with the Slingshot Suplex very quickly.

Manny cuts a promo with Crockett afterwards saying that his glove deal isn't good and that bad things could be coming but his crew is ready. Valiant then joins him for some shouting.

The Road Warriors (Animal & Hawk) vs. George South & Thunderfoot (5/6/86)

Thunderfoot is now a complete jobber and they get destroyed. Hawk broke out his Canadian Backbreaker drop as well for the first time.

Dillon is out next talking about the Garvin/Tully match from the week before and he knows nothing about the coins in the ring other than the fans threw them there. Dillon then talks about the upcoming Great American Bash tour and the Horsemen will be running the show.

Flair then comes out and talks about how great he was and how he was going to slap Road Warrior Hawk.

Jim Crockett comes out next with Sandy Scott and they talk about the Great American Bash tour.

Tully & Dillon are out next with Tully agreeing with Dillon about the coins bit but all that matters is that he is still the National Champion.

The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) vs. Sam Houston & Nelson Royal (5/6/86)

Sam starts off really strong here taking it to the MX which has Cornette furious at ringside. Nelson would come in and it's more of the same until Eaton rakes him in the eyes but it wouldn't last long as the crowd was molten hot and the faces were feeding off of it. Eaton would throw Houston up high in the air for a desperation face drop and then Royal ran in as we get a brawl with Cornette using the tennis racquet on Houston. The James Boys then showed up and took care of the MX then but a rope around Cornette where they drug him out of the ring and out of the building. David Crockett followed them with the cameras outside where they tied Cornette to their truck and they almost drug him but the MX made the save. Crockett then interviewed the James Boys and said that outlaws live their way. This was an amazing segment in every way and a slam dunk extra.

World Wide Wrestling 5/17/86

Tully Blanchard & "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin vs. Sam Houston & Chief Wahoo McDaniel (5/13/86)

This is JIP a little but not much. Wahoo works over Tully early before Garvin could get in and they would work together to get Wahoo down. Houston would get the tag and Garvin would have him down on the mat but Houston wouldn't go down easy. Wahoo would get the tag back in but again the heels were tough foes and took him right back down to the mat. Tully & Garvin would use their smarts to switch in and out as well to keep a fresh man in but not legally. Houston would get back in and again the heels would stop any babyface offense immediately. Tully would hit Houston with the Hot Shot then dropped him with the Slingshot Suplex to win the match. Wahoo attacks Garvin after the match but Tully would knee him from behind then Garvin dropped him on the floor with the Brainbuster. The match wasn't a nomination but the angle is a definite extra.

Ronnie Garvin joins Crockett talking about his hand recovering and he has the tape off of it. Garvin also talks about how he is going to still go after Flair even if he is battling Tully right now.

Crockett then asks Dillon why do that to Wahoo and he said that a message had to be sent that if he wants Tully's title then that could happen to him.

Todd Champion makes his debut promo here and he is green in the ring and on the mic.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. Italian Stallion (5/13/86)

Stallion tried but failed after a Gourdbuster as Arn was like a buzzsaw.

Robert Gibson vs. "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff (5/13/86)

Interesting match here and the story of the match is Gibson using his speed and agility to keep Nikita grounded but one mistake changed that as Nikita would take advantage of a missed monkey flip and he started battering Gibson inside and outside the ring. Gibson valiantly fights back and has Nikita pinned on a reverse cross body block but Nikita throws him on Tommy Young. As Young recovers, Ivan uses the chain on Gibson but Young did see it and called for the DQ. They jump Gibson afterwards until Morton runs out to make the save. Fun match but not a nomination.

NWA World Tag Titles: The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) © vs. America's Team (Dusty Rhodes & Magnum TA) (5/13/86)

Houston puts up a fight early on but this is a quick squash for the MX.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. Chief Wahoo McDaniel (5/13/86)

Wahoo works over Arn's left leg a little while Arn keeps Wahoo grounded on the mat with a chinlock as it's a stalemate early on. Arn though started throwing some bombs which brought out some blood from an old wound on Wahoo's head giving some extra oomph for the match. Wahoo then started lighting up Arn with chops then hit a big suplex on Arn for a nearfall. Arn then would start stalling as much as he could but Wahoo would light him up more and more and pinned Arn but Arn got his foot on the bottom rope so the match continued. Arn would then backdrop Wahoo over the top rope to the floor for the DQ to save his title. Yeah this had potential but it missed a good ending and could've went longer.

World Wide Wrestling 5/31/86

This starts with clips of Flair trying to break Morton's nose.

The Barbarian, Teijho Khan, & Shaska Whatley vs. Italian Stallion, Rocky Kernodle, & Gene Ligon (5/27/86)

Total squash and to make matters worse for the jobbers, Baron put on his black glove and used it on Ligon.

Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Mike Simani & George South (5/27/86)

Nikita shoving Tommy Young who shoved back was the highlight of this squash.

Next we get the Magnum/Nikita press conference for the upcoming uS Heavyweight Title match between them and this is one of the biggest angles of the era in JCP. Jim Crockett then said that he was very unhappy with what happened with Ivan following him saying that he was happy with what happened himself. Slam Dunk extra.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. Hector Guerrero (5/27/86)

"Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal vs. Italian Stallion (6/3/86)

The fans chant for Wahoo like crazy but he doesn't come out. Regal doesn't have it easy here as Stallion gives as good as he gets with the fans going nuts but Regal would finish him off with the Russian Legsweep to win.

Tully & Dillon come out next and we the Norfolk video again with new narration.

The Horsemen are out next minus Ole of course all dressed up in suits talking about how great they are and then we get Dusty and the babyfaces behind him with Dusty challenging Flair to get in the ring later on for a match on TV. Flair said that it costs a ton of money to get him to work on TV..this is a definite extra.

Cornette & Bubba are out next and he said that the bounty on the James Boys has been raised to $100,000.

Ivan & Nikita Koloff vs. Denny Brown & Sam Houston (6/3/86)

Ivan takes some good punishment early from the faces but a quick Russian Sickle by Nikita on Sam ends the match just like that.
