Yup, that's how I book all my TV. If it's on there it should either be building a guy up or moving one of the feuds forward. One thing about TV in the 80s is that it was very focused on getting you to the house shows, the big shows to see the matches that meant something.

Great build-up to Starrcade on your first show. I like putting Houston and Taylor together right away. Sam Houston seems to be getting a much better push wherever he ends up than he ever did in the real world.

I liked the house shows, but for me the highlight was TV. Killer Khan lives up to the name, JAKE shows up and acts all mysterious and BOCK is going to be Orndorff's new challenger? If I'm watching this in real time that's all very exciting stuff.

NWA World Class Championship Wrestling December 1985

I just like seeing the Moondogs, period. Piper showing up on the TV was great and very well-written. Black Bart can't even beat a midcard guy like Tonga Kid without cheating, that's the mark of a truly despicable heel. -
That is a huge SNME card. Bundy coming back to work for Heenan can't mean good things for anyone on the face side. Billy Jack should be a fun addition to your roster as well.

WWC adds Eliud Gonzalez (ring announcer), Hector Moyano (announcer/interviewer) and Don Kent.

Great segment! Leatherface has really grown on me since he started showing up. Even Lawler isn't afraid to scurry away when he's swinging the chainsaw around. Two straight weeks of crazy brawls at the end of the show. What I really want now is a 7 on 7 Texas vs. Tennessee concession stand brawl.
-
I agree that we all know the conclusion. But Marlin pretty much lets us know that he's clued in to that with his retorts to Embry. Embry is absolutely brilliant in this promo.
-
Savage is so great. He manages to stay in the Macho Man character and be a part of all this silliness so smoothly.
-
Keirn comes across as menacing here. Less cartoony than most of the gimmicks in the WWF at the time at least for this vignette.
-
Garvin was still going really strong in 1991! He looked more energetic and in slightly better shape than his 88 match with Colon to me. Invader 1 is really good at selling and gaining sympathy through that and this match plays to that strength a lot. I just wish he'd had more time on offense before the heart punch.
-
I would have liked to hear Herd apologize for the huge mess that WCW had become on his watch and quit. But I guess this will do.
-
Good promo from Jerry and I am unsure as to why Embry will come out later but not here. Either way, it does get the job done.
-
Brown and Michael dodging around when the action came their way was awesome. That they didn't run off and still had smiles on their faces was, as mentioned above, even better. Incredible studio brawl, I love Memphis!
-
Embry does really well with this and hits all the right notes. He should be complaining about that lumberjack match. On a side note, I had the album that Pop Goes the Weasel came off of as a 14 year old boy.
-
I got two tag teams that had good runs in PR and the one native guy in the draft, TNT. I'm gonna call it a success.

WWC selects Bart Batten then drops.
-
Heh, now they do!
-
WWC selects Brad Batten
-
WWC selects Tommy Lane.

RVD actually had a pretty smooth floatover suplex. Who knew? Sabu is....really not good.
-
Liz's response has to be one of the all time great things in wrestling. I wasn't all that impressed with Piper and Vince with the teasing, but man did Liz make up for it with that OHHHH YEEAHH. Perfect.
-
Austin showed good grasp of heel psychology and I did like the bump off the ropes a lot, even if I think he went so far as to make it cartoony. Bobby throws a great right hand, but he's got so much more than that. Good enough match but it could have been a lot better. Finish is pure Dusty, which is not a good thing.
-
Kawada going WAY too hard on a front facelock and Ogawa freaking out to let him know was a fun little bit before that kicking sequence. Ogawa does really well for himself here even if he ends up being the object of Kawada's wrath.
-
Brazo de Plata vs. Owen would have stolen the show for me. Great opener and Hash vs. SSM seems like it would have worked really well. Hash attacking Funk will have...consequences. Main looked like a lot of fun but it would have been one of the lesser attractions on the card for me.
