"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin vs. George South (1/31/87)

Garvin gets a strong win here and then makes fun of Tony's mom afterwards which is hilarious.

Brad Armstrong joins Tony next for a promo as he will be getting a shot at Tully Blanchard's NWA World TV Title later today.

"Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin vs. Gary Royal (1/31/87)

Royal made a mistake of trying to fight Garvin....he paid dearly as Mr. Torture did just that. Ronnie then cuts a promo after the match saying that the MX want the US Tag Titles very badly and are trying to injure him but he isn't going down easily.

Paul Jones is out next with Tony for a promo before being joined by Ragin & Ravishing talking about how they should be the #1 seed in the Crockett Cup since they are the best in the world.

NWA World TV Title: Tully Blanchard © vs. Brad Armstrong (1/31/87)

Brad jumps Tully at the bell and sends him scurrying to the floor where Tully could finally get his jacket off and this is really fun stuff as Brad is running wild on Tully. Brad is throwing some great punches here and is trying to put Tully away early so the time limit won't be a factor. Tully fires back with a nice jumping knee to the head but Brad isn't having it and comes back throwing Tully into the corner where he does a Slaughter bump over the top to the floor which was hard to do in the cramped WTBS Studios. Dillon was nervous as hell on the floor as Tully desperately throws Brad to the floor so of course they go to a break and come back with Brad again teeing off on Tully. Tully is great here selling and bumping here even taking the hard running shoulder into the ringpost. Brad is throwing out everything he can to try to put away Tully who is surviving on will and then Tully tries to run away but Brad chases him down and carries him back to the ring. This is fantastic stuff here as Tony & David are going nuts thinking Brad has him beat as the time ticks down. Brad would hit the Russian Legsweep right as time ran out so Tully retains. WOW I haven't watched this in years and I forgot how great this was and it sucks that Brad never got a proper feud with a Horsemen member. This is a easy nomination to me.

Dick Murdoch is out next for a promo talking about how good that match was and his barbed wire match with Bubba that night in Kansas City. Murdoch said that there are things going on right now that he doesn't like and he would straighten it out soon.

Jimmy Valiant is out next for a promo talking about going to Memphis again for JCP.

Ole Anderson & "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. "White Lightning" Tim Horner & Eddie Roberts (1/31/87)

Flair & Ole teaming on a rare occasion and they worked very well as a team. Horner had his moments here but his partner was garbage. Flair was particularly more vicious here than normal which was fun.

Windham comes out afterwards as Luger is with Dillon and is pissed about Luger aligning with Dillon so Luger attacks him ending their friendship.
