Posted January 15, 200817 yr comment_5427109 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. (NWA TV 1/87 - 2/87 Disc 2)
January 23, 201312 yr comment_5530020 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.
July 23, 201411 yr comment_5614344 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.
