Tully Blanchard vs. Brad Armstrong (9:02)

- I love the pace of this match. Brad attacks Tully before he has a chance to take off his jacket and the first few minutes have Brad trying to do everything in his power to score the upset victory. The announcers really play up the fact that Brad has to keep taking it to Tully if he expects to win the TV title and the ten minute time limt isn't alot of time to take care of a wrestler of Tully's calibre. The entire match has Brad throwing out everything and Tully clinging on for dear life. Of course, the time limit expires and Tully is saved. I remember marking out watching this match 20 years ago also. I am going to nominate it and if it makes it through the cuts, I think the Horsemen jumping Armstrong would be a nice lead-in.

Tully Blanchard vs Brad Armstrong

 

I'll give this a low end nomination. It was a total blast. With Brad just bringing it to Tully. Tully bumping and trying to escape with the title. It was a nice touch on the outside with J.J counting the money and flashing it to the crowd.

NWA World TV Title: Tully Blanchard © vs. Brad Armstrong (1/31/87)

Brad jumps Tully at the bell and sends him scurrying to the floor where Tully could finally get his jacket off and this is really fun stuff as Brad is running wild on Tully. Brad is throwing some great punches here and is trying to put Tully away early so the time limit won't be a factor. Tully fires back with a nice jumping knee to the head but Brad isn't having it and comes back throwing Tully into the corner where he does a Slaughter bump over the top to the floor which was hard to do in the cramped WTBS Studios. Dillon was nervous as hell on the floor as Tully desperately throws Brad to the floor so of course they go to a break and come back with Brad again teeing off on Tully. Tully is great here selling and bumping here even taking the hard running shoulder into the ringpost. Brad is throwing out everything he can to try to put away Tully who is surviving on will and then Tully tries to run away but Brad chases him down and carries him back to the ring. This is fantastic stuff here as Tony & David are going nuts thinking Brad has him beat as the time ticks down. Brad would hit the Russian Legsweep right as time ran out so Tully retains. WOW I haven't watched this in years and I forgot how great this was and it sucks that Brad never got a proper feud with a Horsemen member. This is a easy nomination to me.

Baron Von Raschke comes out next for a promo talking about how great JCP is and he wants Paul Jones.

Ole Anderson & "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. "White Lightning" Tim Horner & Eddie Roberts (1/31/87)

Flair & Ole teaming on a rare occasion and they worked very well as a team. Horner had his moments here but his partner was garbage. Flair was particularly more vicious here than normal which was fun.

Windham comes out afterwards as Luger is with Dillon and is pissed about Luger aligning with Dillon so Luger attacks him ending their friendship.

Ivan & Petrov come out next for a promo talking about their mission to end the Super Powers.

Vladimir Petrov vs. Zane Smith (1/31/87)

Squash.

The Kansas Jayhawks (Bobby Jaggers & Dutch Mantell) vs. Randy Mulkey & John Savage (2/3/87)

The Jayhawks have no issues here with these guys.

Luger & Dillon are out next with Dillon saying that Luger isn't a Horseman yet but he is a friendly associate. Luger then cuts a promo about how great he is.

Vladimir Petrov vs. David Isley (2/3/87)

Isley gets mauled here.

Tony then interviews Paul Jones along with Ragin & Ravishing next about how big and bad they are.

Bullet Bob Armstrong vs. Vernon Deaton (2/3/87)

So fun seeing Bullet Bob working in JCP and I thought he was a good addition at this time. Brad was also at ringside watching the match.

Tony then interviews Cornette and his boys next and Cornette is great here teeing off on all of his enemies here.

The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey & "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton) vs. Tommy Angel & Eddie Roberts (2/3/87)

Standard fun MX squash as Roberts gets a little offense in which got the crowd going. Windham comes out after the match and distracts the MX so MISS ATLANTA LIVELY!!!! can show up to jump them. Tony joins them in the locker room where Ronnie has pulled off the wig revealing himself. I loved the callback and this is a Slam Dunk Extra.

The Super Powers are next with a promo talking about their war with the Russians and how it's war now.

The RnR join Tony next talking about how they will be getting their NWA World Tag Titles back soon.

"Total Package" Lex Luger vs. George South (2/3/87)

Luger looks great here.

Arn & Tully join Tony next talking about how impressive Luger looked then and how it's great he's on their side. Then Luger & Dillon join them and that Lex is now part of Tully Blanchard Enterprises as a stockholder.

Barry Windham vs. Thunderfoot (2/3/87)

Barry steamrolls the masked man then yells at the Horsemen to come on down especially Luger. Flair then shows up out of nowhere takes all of his stuff off except his suspenders and fights Windham where he gets his ass kicked until the Horsemen join the beatdown which brings out The Super Powers and The Armstrongs and Spartanburg goes nuts. Luger jumps Dusty out of nowhere and this becomes a fucking standoff. Spartanburg is losing their fucking minds here as the brawl goes on with the babyfaces cleaning house. GRAND SLAM EXTRA.
