A BUNKHOUSE STAMPEDE BATTLE ROYAL (no finish shown)
HARLEY RACE v TONY ZANE
MAGNUM T.A. v THE BARBARIAN- after a ref bump, Paul Jones KOs Magnum with a cane, then Harley Race walks in and makes the three count. Race and Barbarian then pummel T.A.
RIC FLAIR vs MAGNUM TA- TA puts up $1,000 to prove that Flair cannot pin him in 10 minutes. The Andersons help give Magnum a beating when Flair can't get the job done.
KRUSHER KRUSHEV v SAM HOUSTON, jip. The Road Warriors help Houston get the upset and win the Mid-Atlantic title. The MA title had a great history, but by now it was a belt for guys who were closer to the bottom of the card than the top.
RIC FLAIR v RONNIE GARVIN- a great, super-tight slapfest! Flair's chest was said to have been raw and bleeding after this match.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS v RON BASS & DON KERNODLE- Jim Cornette cracks Bass with the raquet, which DQs the Midnights and brings the Rock & Roll Express into the ring.
ARN ANDERSON AND TULLY BLANCHARD further injure Dusty's leg.
RIC FLAIR & ARN ANDERSON v DUSTY RHODES & RON GARVIN- Garvin KOs Flair with a punch, and Dusty gets the pin.
DUSTY RHODES v TULLY BLANCHARD- Tully needs help from Ric Flair, J.J. Dillon, and a pair of brass knux to win the National title.
ARN ANDERSON v RON GARVIN- this is the match where Tully and Arn use a boot to "break" Garvin's punching hand.
RIC FLAIR v RICKY MORTON- Morton "pins" Flair (well, Robert Gibson does the counting), establishing the skinny tag- teamer Morton as a threat to the NWA title. Who said Flair wasn't a miracle worker?
ARN ANDERSON v MANNY FERNANDEZ- Tully and Arn try to claim another broken hand, but Dusty and Garvin make the save.
RON GARVIN v TULLY BLANCHARD, jip. Fantastic match, with a great finish.

OLE & ARN ANDERSON v RANDY & BILL MULKEY
RIC FLAIR v ROAD WARRIOR HAWK- less of a match and more of an angle to push the Road Warriors v Horsemen feud.
RONNIE GARVIN v BLACK BART
ROAD WARRIORS v MIDNIGHT EXPRESS
TULLY BLANCHARD v RON GARVIN, jip. Garvin once again gets creatively screwed out of the National title.
ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS v OLE & ARN ANDERSON

HIGHLIGHTS of the 1986 Crockett Cup Tournament.
JIM CORNETTE & THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS call out Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes has the advantage until Condrey clocks him with the tennis raquet, then Cornette jabs Baby Doll in the stomach with the raquet! Baby Doll sells it like she's been shot.
TULLY BLANCHARD v RON GARVIN- a 30 minute classic shown in it's entirety. Blanchard works on Garvin's injured hand until Dusty Rhodes tapes the hand, and Garvin uses it to KO Tully and win the National title- until the ref sees the tape. Great heat, 3 3/4 ***.
WAHOO McDANIEL gets jumped by Arn Anderson and Jimmy Garvin.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS v SAM HOUSTON & NELSON ROYAL- "The James Boys" (Dusty Rhodes & Magnum T.A.) run in and drag Jim Cornette away with a rope. They then try to tie the rope to a truck and drag him away! The Midnights untie the rope just in time.
TULLY BLANCHARD & JIMMY GARVIN v WAHOO WcDANIEL & SAM HOUSTON-funny as Garvin avoids tagging in to face Wahoo. The heels pin Houston, then gang up on Wahoo. Garvin ends up giving Wahoo a brainbuster on the cement.
NIKITA KOLOFF v ROBERT GIBSON- the fans are CRAZY over the Rock & Rolls. Ivan and Nikita use the chain on Robert until Morton makes the save.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS v SAM HOUSTON & ROCKY KERNODLE
ARN ANDERSON v WAHOO McDANIEL- good, tight match. 3 ***.
RIC FLAIR v RICKY MORTON (clip)- Anderson and Blanchard run in and help Flair break Morton's nose.
MAGNUM T.A. AND NIKITA KOLOFF sign a contract to wrestle. Nikita is accompanied by Ivan Koloff, and Magnum brings his mom. It's a bad move, as Nikita insults Mrs. T.A., and Magnum jumps him- but finds himself at the wrong end of a beating from the two Russians.

JIMMY GARVIN AND STEVE REGAL whip Wahoo McDaniel with a strap.
NWA PRESIDENT BOB GEIGEL gives Magnum T.A. an "official reprimand" for attacking Nikita during the press conference- so Magnum punches him in the face! T.A. is then stripped of the U.S. title, pending a "Best of Seven" series vs Nikita on the "Great American Bash" tour.
IVAN & NIKITA KOLOFF v SAM HOUSTON & DENNY BROWN
TAPED FIST MATCH: RON GARVIN v LEO BURKE- Tully Blanchard uses a loaded, taped fist to knock Garvin out.
RIC FLAIR v DUSTY RHODES- Arn and Tully run in, but Dusty fends them off. Then Ole Anderson returns, and injures Dusty's leg. The "Three Horsemen" add a member, and the legendary FOUR HORSEMEN are born!
JIM CORNETTE gets into an argument with Baby Doll, which ends up with Baby Doll KOing Bobby Eaton with one punch! (Poor Bobby...)

NWA TV Sept.-Nov. 88 (McAdams NWA Tape #20)
A FUNNY INTERVIEW with Ric Flair and John Ayres. Ayres, a pro football player has been assigned to referee some Flair vs Luger matches. Flair asks John what qualifies him to ref, and Ayres basically says he has no idea.
BARRY WINDHAM vs STING from Clash of the Champions 3. Terrific match between the two hottest stars in the biz at that time. 4 ***.
STEVE WILLIAMS vs MIKE ROTONDO- good match, awful finish as after a ref bump, Doc gets DQed for dropping Rotondo over the top rope.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS vs ARN ANDERSON & TULLY BLANCHARD- raw footage of the historic match where the Mid-X win the NWA tag titles in Philly. This was the last match ever for Arn & Tully in the NWA, as they basically gave a one-day notice before bolting to the WWF, making a quick title change necessary. Too bad, as this might have become one of the all-time great feuds.
IVAN KOLOFF is attacked by the Russian Assassins, but his nephew Nikita makes the save.
STING & ROAD WARRIORS vs RICK STIENER, MIKE ROTONDO & KEVIN SULLIVAN- Kevin mistakenly KO's Stiener, further straining relations in the "Varsity Club"
RICK STIENER INTERVIEWED by Magnum T.A., and Rick's having so much fun rapping with Mag, he doesn't want to wrestle in his upcoming 6-man tag match. This drives Sullivan crazy, and he and Stiener almost come to blows-funny.
THE FANTASTICS vs THE SHEEPHERDERS- clips of a pretty wild brawl.
STING & ROAD WARRIORS vs RICK STIENER, MIKE ROTONDO & KEVIN SULLIVAN- out of nowhere, the Roadies turn on Sting, who takes a wild bump off of Animal's shoulders. Luger runs in, but the Warriors give him a beating.
NIKITA KOLOFF vs RUSSIAN ASSASSIN #2- Both Assassins jump Nikita, but Ivan runs in and ends up choking Paul Jones with a chain.
FUNNY INTERVIEW WITH THE VARSITY CLUB- Stiener leads the fans in a "Syracuse Sucks" chant, which infuriates Rotondo.
THE FANTASTICS vs THE SHEEPHERDERS- another good brawl, goes to a DDQ.
DICK MURDOCH vs AL PEREZ- Sullivan runs in, and Murdoch wins on a DQ.
EDDIE GILBERT & RON SIMMONS vs LARRY ZYBYSKO & AL PEREZ
ONE OF THE STUPIDEST ANGLES / INTERVIEWS EVER, as Steve Williams sends in a tape from Japan, announcing his heel turn. If you're ever bored and want a good laugh, run a transcript of this interview- what the hell is Doc talking about? Also, this shows you how bad things have gotten in the NWA at this point- so many turns that they don't run angles anymore, they just announce it.
THE SHEEPHERDERS JUMP Eddie Gilbert and Ron Simmons during a squash.
ROAD WARRIORS vs MIDNIGHT EXPRESS- Ellering jumps Cornette, and Lane as he's bailing Jimmy out leaves Eaton to be mangled by the Roadies. Lane fights both Warriors by himself, but that's impossible. He accidentally tags in the dazed Eaton, who is quickly pinned, and the Roadies win the NWA tag belts. Cornette does a great interview while addressing this.
STAN LANE vs MENACE #2- shocking angle as Cornette gets a phone call from someone, taunting him over the loss of the tag titles. The caller turn out to be Paul E. Dangerously, who brings his Original Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey & Randy Rose) to the studio to pound Eaton & Lane. Paul E then pops Cornette with the phone, and CORNETTE JUICES! This was one of the best angles I've ever seen.
JIM CORNETTE and PAUL E DANGEROUSLY both do a series of great interviews discussing the incident mentioned above.
This is a good tape, although the promotion was is desparate strait at this point. Say goodnight, Dusty. 4 HOURS

NWA TV Nov.-Dec. 88 (McAdams NWA Tape #21)
STAN LANE v MENACE #2- Cornette gets a phone call from someone who gloats over the Midnight Express' recent loss to the Road Warriors. When Cornette challenges the caller, Paul E. Dangerously and the Original Midnight Express attack Bobby and Stan, and render Corny a bloody mess! ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREAT WTBS WRESTLING ANGLES!!
STING v MIKE ROTONDO- Mike is DQed when Rick Stiener and Kevin Sullivan interfere.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS v ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL & PAUL ELLERING
IVAN & NIKITA KOLOFF v THE RUSSIAN ASSASSINS
A SERIES OF GREAT INTERVIEWS with Jim Cornette and Paul E. Dangerously
BARRY WINDHAM v BAM BAM BIGELOW in an unscheduled match.
RIC FLAIR v GEORGE SOUTH- a rare WTBS match for Flair.
CLASSIC INTERVIEW from Jim Cornette, who has a bandaged forehead and a bloodstained sports jacket from the Dangerously attack. One of the greatest promos ever.
EDDIE GILBERT & RON SIMMONS v THE SHEEPHERDERS in a U.S. tag title tourney match- The Sheeps win, but the decision is reversed when the Sheeps leave for the WWF.
STEVE WILLIAMS & MIKE ROTONDO v THE FANTASTICS- Rick Stiener trips Rotondo for the Fantastics win. Stiener is then kicked out of the Varsity Club, and beaten to a pulp.
THE ANGLE THAT GOT DUSTY FIRED: Dusty challenges Road Warrior Animal to fight, but soon both Warriors and Paul Ellering triple-team Rhodes. Then, Hawk pulls a spike from his shoulder pads, and jams it into Dusty's eye! Very bloody and gross, but worth it- SAYONARA, Dusty!
BARRY WINDHAM v BOBBY FULTON- Bigelow runs in and splashes Barry from the top rope.
NIKITA KOLOFF v RUSSIAN ASSASSIN #1
(C4) THE FANTASTICS v RON SIMMONS & EDDIE GILBERT- finals of the U.S. Tag Tourney.
(C4) IVAN KOLOFF v PAUL JONES. Jones wrestles with one hand tied behind his back, but The Russian Assassins run in. Junkyard Dog makes the save, as Nikita quit the promotion.
(C4) STEVE WILLIAMS v THE ITALIAN STALLION
(C4) NO DQ MATCH: DUSTY RHODES v ROAD WARRIOR HAWK- the match, of course, ends in a DQ when Hawk and Sting get involved.
(C4) RIC FLAIR & BARRY WINDHAM v MIDNIGHT EXPRESS- a classic, 4 1/2 *** match.
RICK STIENER & RON SIMMONS v STEVE WILLIAMS & MIKE ROTONDO- 3***
CLIPS OF The Original Midnight Express v The Fantastics. Listen closely to Paul E's commentary, as he slyly addresses the NWA's booker and management situation.
**This tape also has some great interviews from Cornette, Paul E, Flair, Luger, Sting & more. This is an excellent tape, even more interesting when you consider that the NWA was in total disarray at the time, undergoing an ownership change, and management changes. The promotion was in total disarray, with wrestlers leaving almost on a weekly basis. 6 hours.

NWA TV Jan.-Feb. 90 (McAdams NWA Tape #31)
THE SKYSCRAPERS v AGENT STEEL & RANDY HARRIS- Teddy Long brings in Mark Callas (now The Undertaker in the WWF) to replace Sid Vicious in the Skyscrapers. Sounds like a babyface turn for Sid, but that never transpired.
RIC FLAIR accepts the award for Pro Wrestling Illustrated's "Wrestler of the Decade". Whooo!
DYNAMIC DUDES v CACTUS JACK & LEE SCOTT- Scott, the greatest bump-taking jobber I've ever seen, gets pinned, and Jack attacks him. Lee's challenges Jack to wrestle next week.
THE ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS return to the NWA.
CACTUS JACK v TOMMY RICH- supposed to be Rich v Agent Steel, but Jack jumps him before the match and takes over the bout. Jack takes some INSANE bumps here! 3 ***.
NORMAN presents his portrait of Woman to her. She's offended by it, and slaps his face, leading to a Norman v Nitron brawl. Norman's on top, but Kevin Sullivan runs in and smacks him with the painting. Things then get weird as Sullivan grinds Norman's face in the painting, and the red paint rubs off (to emulate blood!).
RIC FLAIR v BOBBY EATON- really good! 3 3/4 ***.
KEVIN SULLIVAN v NORMAN- surprise! 3 ***.
RIC FLAIR appears on Funk's Grill- they're cordial toward one another, which is funny considering their legendary feud that concluded three months earlier. Woman appears, and makes a "business proposition" to Flair.
RIC FLAIR is interviewed by Ric Flair- Woman comes out, and repeats the scenario that played out on Funk's segment.
CACTUS JACK v LEE SCOTT- good, 3 ***.
LEX LUGER, STING, THE STIENERS & THE ROAD WARRIORS do commercials for "Roos".
LEX LUGER v EDDIE GILBERT- another clean job for Gilbert.
CACTUS JACK appears on Funk's Grill- his first national interview, and a good one.
ARN ANDERSON v BUZZ SAWYER- great, tight, old style match, both work really hard here. Great Muta and Dragom Master run in as Arn is about to finish Sawyer. Ole Anderson runs in, but gets decimated by the heels. Match gets 3 3/4 ***.
RICK & SCOTT STIENER & ROAD WARRIOR ANIMAL THE SKYSCRAPERS & DOOM- Hawk no-shows, so it's a seven- man tag.
RIC FLAIR, STING & ARN ANDERSON v GREAT MUTA, BUZZ SAWYER & DRAGON MASTER- good action, and the fans go crazy for the Horsemen. 3 ***.
ARN ANDERSON v SAMOAN SAVAGE- good match, Arn was probably at his peak here, defending the TV title as a babyface, and having dynamite matches.
CACTUS JACK v STEVE WILLIAMS- Cactus takes some more insane bumps.
MIDNIGHT EXPRESS & THE FREEBIRDS v ROCK & ROLL EXPRESS & DYNAMITE DUDES
ARN ANDERSON v EDDIE GILBERT- The Horsemen were over like crazy at this point, but booking genius Ric Flair would soon kill the entire promotions' momentum by turning them heel- all only because Ric PREFERS being a heel!
RIC FLAIR v TOM ZENK- Flair hints at his upcoming heel turn by using the trunks to win- 3 ***.
STEVE WILLIAMS AND SAMOAN SAVAGE have a staredown.
ARN ANDERSON v BOBBY EATON- terrific, 3 1/2 ***.
THE FREEBIRDS v EDDIE GILBERT & TOMMY RICH
This is an EXCELLENT tape. The NWA was really headed in the right direction here. It would crash on February 8, 1990, at the Clash of the Champions when the Horsemen turned heel, and Sting blew out his knee, leaving the group with no babyfaces. They then turned Lex Luger from the sport's hottest heel to the one of the lamest babyfaces. It's been all downhill since for both Luger and this promotion.
This tape also has some great interviews from Ric Flair, Sting, Arn Anderson, Jim Cornette, Lex Luger, Ole Andserson, Terry Funk, Kevin Sullivan, Teddy Long, and more.
