World Championship Wrestling 4/12/86

This starts with Dusty wearing his Eastern Airlines shirt and Baby Doll wearing a black lace dress that would make Stevie Nicks proud. Dusty is funny here ripping on JJ Dillon & Precious.

"Ragin Bull" Manny Fernandez & Hector Guerrero vs. George South & Tony Zane (4/12/86)

Bull & Hector look good here as a team and they cut a promo after the match talking about coming for all the teams especially at the Crockett Cup.

Black Bart vs. Gene Ligon (4/12/86)

Ligon gives Bart a fight but that doesn't last very long.

Tully Blanchard is out next for a promo talking about Ronnie Garvin's hand injury and how he better not use it as an excuse when he loses.

NWA World Six-Man Tag Titles: Ivan & Nikita Koloff, & Baron Von Raschke © vs. Denny Brown, Italian Stallion, & Nelson Royal (4/12/86)

Nikita hasn't wrestled on TV in weeks because of his deal with Magnum TA so he is pissed he has to work here. Ivan yet again allows the lowcarders get a good bit of offense on him making them look credible. This had a good pace but Nikita would end it with a big Russian Sickle on Stallion.

Ronnie Garvin is out next for a promo with his taped fist saying that he is coming for Tully anywhere he can find him and we get clips of the Horsemen injuring his hand from the week before.

The Roadies & Ellering are out next for a promo talking about their issues with the Russians and how they will get rid of them for good. We get clips of a previous battle in Baltimore where Hawk was injured and the Russians beat Ellering.

Chief Wahoo McDaniel vs. Ron Rossi (4/12/86)

Easy win for Wahoo.

Magnum is out wearing his Copenhagen jacket next for a promo talking about Nikita's demands for a match with Magnum.

"Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin vs. Rocky Kernodle (4/12/86)

Rocky is a tough opponent for Garvin as this is a pretty long TV match for Garvin at this moment but he gets it together and drops him with the Brainbuster to win.

Ric Flair is out next talking about his issues with Ricky Morton and how he will beat Dusty at the Crockett Cup. Flair talking about his love for big tits and no brains was always hilarious. Extra material.

NWA World TV Title: Arn Anderson © vs. Sam Houston (4/12/86)

Flair does commentary for the match which was a really fun back and forth effort with Houston hanging tough with Arn until he ate a Gourdbuster to lose. Arn then cut a promo with Tony afterwards talking about beating everyone in his way and that he & Tully will win the Crockett Cup.

The RnR are out next with Tony talking about Flair.

The Barbarian & Shaska Whatley vs. Vernon Deaton & Randy Mulkey (4/12/86)

The heels manhandle these guys.

The Koloffs cut a promo next talking about Nikita getting Magnum in a Russian Chain Match and how the US Title will be coming to them.

The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) vs. Carl Styles & Ray Traylor (4/12/86)

That's a lot of beef against the RnR. Ric Flair comes out before the match in his gear and the RnR send the jobbers out with dropkicks before Flair comes in the ring. Flair demands a match with Morton right then and there.

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Ricky Morton (4/12/86)

The crowd was on fire for all of this as Arn & Gibson were at ringside watching their men's backs. Morton looked great here as he was hitting all his offense on Flair who was bumping and selling like crazy. This is a great performance by Flair here as Morton looked like the best wrestler in the world. Randy Anderson gets bumped to the floor naturally so we get Flair throwing Morton over the top rope to the floor but Morton would post him in response. Flair juices from the shot with Morton working the cut and he gets a couple of flash pinfalls one with Robert making the count after dropkicking Arn. Dusty joins the RnR afterwards talking about how Flair always ends up on his ass when it counts. Yeah this didn't have a proper finish but this was a helluva TV match and moves forward pretty easily.

Cornette comes out next talking about how great the MX is and how they are going to get rid of the Road Warriors.

The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) vs. Paul Garner & Bob Owens (4/12/86)

MX dominate these guys and win in short order.

Paul Jones, Barbarian, & Shaska are out next for a promo where they bring out a bag which Shaska pulls out the braid of hair he cut out of it. Funny.
