Posted January 16, 200817 yr comment_5427181 Barry Windham vs. Arn Anderson- This is for the Western Heritage Title and so much better than their Supertowns match. Arn starts early, showing his genius by claiming Barry had grease on his body after barry used Arn's momentum to fling him out of the ring. This has some cool matwork sections, great selling, a heated crowd and some cool spots including Barry lifting Arn while Arn has a leg grapevine applied and ramming Arn into the ringpost. In the end, this goes to a draw but Arn is pissed he didn't win the title and lays out Barry. Good, solid nomination.(NWA TV 8/87 - 9/87 Disc 3)

June 8, 20169 yr comment_5756486 Western States Heavyweight Title: Barry Windham © vs. "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson (9/1/87)So Arn worked Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham in singles matches on the same taping....awesome. This starts out slow with both men working holds but they kept it interesting as they were working in and out and not laying and praying. Both men also work the arm very well and I liked Windham using the Anderson armwork tactics against Arn. Windham would miss a big splash hitting all knees in the gut so Arn uses a bodyscissors among other things to weaken him further. Windham would break free but he tried a cross body block and flew over the top to the floor then Arn would bash Windham into the railing. Windham would recover and he focused on Arn's left leg wrapping it around the ringpost a couple of times then locked on the Figure-Four. Arn's leg issues would hinder him as he couldn't do anything because it would give out and Windham would go back to work on it immediately. Arn tries to walk out but Windham grabs him and brings him back to the ring as 3:00 is left in the match. There is a double collision with a minute left and both men now are very tired but they are still battling with Windham hitting a Superplex with 15 seconds left. Arn gets to the ropes though and we go to a draw right as Windham hits the Lariat. Arn would attack Barry after the match and gave him a Gourdbuster for his trouble. This was a really good match and a fairly easy nomination.
