NWA World TV Title: Tully Blanchard © vs. "White Lightning" Tim Horner (1/3/87)

Barry Windham is out here on commentary for this. Horner is very effective early on working over Tully's left arm keeping him on the mat which frustrates Dillon who is already distracted by Windham being there. Tully tries to get to the floor but Horner goes out and brings him back in the ring where he continues to be a buzzsaw. Tully though would punch him in the gut then locked on a figure-four using the ropes on purpose so he could weaken Horner's leg. Horner though fights back and again has Tully on the ropes even getting his O'Connor Roll but he fell back in the ropes and couldn't execute properly. Horner though continues to just pound on Tully who was so good at taking punishment. Horner would catch Tully with a cross body block but Tully tucked and rolled using the trunks to win the match. Barry then told Scrappy McGowan about what happened and then brawled with Tully afterwards before the other Horsemen ran out where they triple teamed Windham and Flair got to slap him in the face. The Horsemen then cut a great promo afterwards. The match is a fairly solid nomination and the angle is great.

Ragin & Ravishing (Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude) vs. Eddie Roberts & Alan West (1/3/87)

Ragin & Ravishing win in very quick fashion and then they call out all the babyface teams in the promotion afterwards.

Murdoch toys with Rutley before putting him in the Brainbuster to win.
