Your hosts are Tony Schiavone & David Crockett.
This was a precursor to the Clash of the Champions shows except they still didn’t get it right here and wouldn’t until next year. Here they show off all the towns Jim Crockett Promotions visits and while the card features all the top stars and top matches of the day, it’s just not the same as one card in front of a hot crowd in one city.
Tonight, Magnum TA returns for the first time since his accident in October 1986!
The NWA world tag champs Ragin N Rude with Paul Jones run down all the top tag teams as they prepare for the Crockett Cup.
Tony Schiavone sits down with Magnum TA for his first on-screen interview since the crash. Magnum says he’s a miracle and he’s going to fight back to recover so he can come back to wrestling. Of course sadly that never happened, but I think he’s doing alright nowadays at least from a financial standpoint. Great interview.
If you’ve never seen a scaffold match, two teams climb a 20 foot tall painters scaffold and the object is to knock the other team off the scaffold down into the ring to win the match. They started this whole trend at Starrcade and took the match everywhere they went through the end of January. I don’t believe the Midnight Express ever won any of these matches. Eaton splits off with Animal while Condrey goes after Hawk. Both of the Road Warriors get powder thrown in their eyes. Eaton is busted open REAL bad somehow. The Midnights have the tennis racket, but it’s only a matter of time before the Road Warriors get a hold of it. As Eaton hangs from the scaffold, Animal stomps his hands to send him crashing down to the mat. Hawk and Condrey head underneath the scaffold until Condrey loses his grip and falls to the mat to end the match. (7:34) Not a match, more of an attraction.
Final Thoughts: Nothing must-see here, but I’m a completist so I had to eventually review this show.
