Ric Flair & Andersons vs Dusty Rhodes & Rock N Roll Express - JCP 12/9/86

 

Just a really fun, chaotic cage match felt like a precursor to Wargames with plenty of blood and mayhem. Ole bumps around for Morton then Arn for Dusty in some really fun spots. Dusty has a huge cast on his arm. Then Flair gets beat up by everyone. It is fun for everyone. Flair is able to isolate Gibson and bully him. Gibson and Flair do an amateur riding sequence and just when Flair thinks he wrangles him Gibson rolls away to Morton. I love Flair getting right up in Morton's face before he has even crossed the ropes and Morton kicking Flair away. The Andersons had done a number on Morton at Starrcade '86 and they said in numerous promos in December of 86 they are the reason Ragin n Ravishin were able to win the titles. Morton starts selling and the crowd really comes alive. Morton DDT and leaps to the outstretched hand of American Dream, Of course, it is Dusty who gets the Super Duper hot tag. Dusty gets a sweet belly to belly on Arn and it is super duper chaos. FInish is kinda lame, Dusty cradles Arn to win off camera. Very good match, but nothing too spectacular, just good down home fun. ***1/2

I know this was filmed for Japan TV, but this match actually took place on October 28, 1986
