US Tag Titles: "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham © vs. "Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff & "Capt. Redneck" Dick Murdoch (3/14/87)

I loved Ivan giving Garvin a taste of his own medicine early on just peppering him with shots. The story of the match early on is the heels isolated Garvin and just worked him over hard for a while until he finally tagged in Windham who was a house of fire until Ivan caught him in the neck and the heels then started controlling him. Murdoch was throwing some awesome punches throughout this match which I have to note. The battle would go to the floor where Windham bashed Murdoch's head into the table and Garvin started chopping Ivan before it went back to the ring where Windham got a very close nearfall on a sunset flip on Murdoch. Windham would go back to work FIP though and he was very good here selling everything the heels had for him. Garvin gets the hot tag and he cleans house KOing IVan with his right hand but Murdoch stops him from pinning them then Garvin KO's Petrov. Bobby Eaton then comes out and bashes Garvin over the head with the tennis racquet and Koloff covers to win. The new champs cut a promo afterwards. This was a helluva match and an easy nomination.

Cornette and his boys come out next and Cornette acts like he didn't know what just happened then he comes out and rips up the Garvin's and Precious where he brings out dog treats for her dinner. This is awesome and extra material.

Brad Armstrong vs. El Lobo (3/14/87)

Another strong showing for Brad and we get a fun promo with Bullet Bob & Brad afterwards.

Then we get a fantastic promo from Ole about why the Horsemen fell apart from the 3/14 NWA Pro show. Definite extra material.
