This starts with David Crockett interviewing Jim Cornette in an empty studio talking about how the MX are going to give his mother a late Mother's Day gift today as they are going to win the US Tag Titles Tournament beating Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham in the finals. Extra material.

What a way to hype up the return of The Fabulous Freebirds to Atlanta than to show their Boys Are Back In Town video and this was awesome. I loved Schiavone calling the Birds "The Kings of the South."

JJ Dillon then comes out and talks about how the Horsemen are still the dominant force in wrestling no matter what units try to fight them.

US Tag Titles Tournament - Finals: The Midnight Express ("Beautiful" Bobby Eaton & "Sweet" Stan Lane) vs. "Hands of Stone" Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham (5/16/87)

The faces start strong taking the battle to the heels who are effecting at selling everything they are taking and the bumping of course is solid as well. We go to break with the faces on top and come back with Garvin getting worked over on the mat by Eaton but Garvin makes a comeback as while on the floor he gave Eaton a backdrop on the concrete. Eaton though recovered and held Garvin by the foot keeping him from getting the tag to Windham. Garvin took a pounding here including an awesome Alabama Jam before getting the hot tag to Windham who runs wild as the crowd goes nuts. Windham looks hot here throwing some great punches and using his normal arsenal to weaken both of the MX. Windham breaks out his Superplex on Eaton but he has gotten weak on his own and can't capitalize on it. Barry climbed up top though and missed a diving kneedrop and now the MX are back in control taking it to him. The MX were so good at working offense that you believed that the match could end at just about any moment but Windham would always find a way to kick out. Eaton then went up top for a huge diving elbow but Windham rolled out of the way and he got the hot tag to Garvin who came in throwing bombs as Cornette nailed Windham with the tennis racket. Windham then came back in and hit Eaton with a lariat then threw Teddy Long out of the ring. Cornette then hit Lane with the racket by mistake as Garvin chased him around the ring. Windham got Cornette in a sleeper then Lane hit Garvin with a steel chair. Lane rolled Teddy in as Eaton had Garvin covered to end the match. This was a helluva damn match and one of the best TV matches of this era. Definite nomination.

The MX cut a promo afterwards in celebration as Cornette can't talk since he was still sleeping in the back thanks to Windham. Lane said that they did it on TV and the whole world saw how great they were and they want the World Tag Titles. Cornette finally comes out and says that he feels great and he is macho kind of guy. Extra material.

This nomination has been discussed.
