Tully & Lex are dominant here.

Jim Crockett joins Tony next saying that they have met with Jim Cornette's attorneys and he will be allowed back on TV and in the arenas but he still has to pay off all the fines that were levied upon them and Cornette must face Ronnie Garvin in a steel cage.

Ragin & Ravishing are out with Paul Jones next with Jones demanding that they be seeded #1 for the Crockett Cup. Ragin & Ravishing then talk about how the RnR Express aren't nearly as good as them.

Barry Windham vs. Thunderfoot #2 (2/28/87)

Easy win for Barry.

Ronnie Garvin joins Windham for a promo afterwards with his bandaged up eye and they have their belts back with Windham saying that he thinks Ronnie is coming back too soon but Ronnie is his own man. Ronnie then talks about his eye injury isn't going to stop him because wrestling is all he knows and he is coming for Cornette.

Brad Armstrong vs. Keith Vincent (2/28/87)

Another strong showing for Brad. Bob would then join Brad for a promo afterwards saying they are definitely ready for the Crockett Cup. Bob also sends a shoutout to Murdoch.

Ragin & Ravishing (Manny Fernandez & Rick Rude) vs. Jack Jackson & Zane Smith (2/28/87)

Total squash for Ragin & Ravishing. Rude throwing Jackson over the top rope face first to the floor then hitting Zane with the spike DDT was awesome.

Flair is out next for a promo where the fans are chanting "SLICK RIC" as he cuts a great promo about working for JCP. Flair also talks mad shit on Larry Bird which was awesome. Flair also starts the Jimmy Garvin angle talking about Precious wants him. Extra material.

"White Lightning" Tim Horner vs. Kent Glover (2/28/87)

Horner looks good here and he cuts a promo afterwards talking about how he & Mike Rotundo are teaming up in the Crockett Cup and they are going to be ready.

David Crockett is joined by Misty Blue next at ringside who talks about being glad to be in JCP.

"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin vs Thunderfoot (2/28/87)

Here is the new babyface Jimmy Garvin and the fans haven't quite got all the way behind him yet but he still looks strong here. Crockett putting over families on commentary is definitely interesting for later in the show.

"Beautiful" Bobby Eaton vs. Larry Stevens (2/28/87)

Bobby working solo here and he looks good.

Next we get David Crockett talking to Dusty Rhodes who had just won the Bunkhouse Stampede from Big Bubba and that he is now coming hard for Murdoch.

The Garvin's are here for their first promo together on TBS with Precious with Jimmy thanking the fans for everything. Jimmy then says that Space Mountain is the shortest ride in the park and the people that ride it get sick. Extra material.

"Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin vs. Tommy Angel (2/28/87)

Ronnie KO's Angel in seconds.

Jim Cornette comes out next in his beach clothes and wild glasses which breaks Tony up and he talks about how good it is to be back. This is a great segment. Definite extra.

Big Bubba Rogers vs. George South (2/28/87)

Eaton at ringside wearing the lei that Cornette had is tremendous. It is so odd seeing Cornette not in a suit.

Tully, Luger, & Dillon are out next for a promo talking about how the Four Horsemen is a 24 hour a day job. Luger talks about how all the women love him.

The Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Ole & Arn Anderson) vs. Alan Martin & Randy Mulkey (2/28/87)

The Andersons are just ruthless here in their last match as a a tag team for close to 3 years.

After the match, Dillon talks about the Horsemen legacy like Ole said about last week. Tully then was upset about what Ole said about him being an outsider and then made a comment about Ole's "snot-nosed son" and Ole decked him. Slam Dunk extra.

Misty Blue vs. Linda Dallas (2/28/87)

We get the normal Misty/Linda match here for the first time on TBS. Dillon comes out during the match and tries to tell David & Tony to shut up and as this happens they don't even show the finish to the match because they wanted to show the Ole angle. Dillon wants Ole to come out and apologize but he doesn't do it.

"Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff vs. Vernon Deaton (2/28/87)

Nikita wins very quickly with the Russian Sickle.

Dillon is back out and he wants Ole to apologize to everyone but he won't come out. Ole then comes out and he slaps Dillon in the face which brings out Tully who runs and jumps Ole and they brawl around the studio. All of this is extra material.
