Autistic Dragon Posted November 4 Author Report Share Posted November 4 NWA TV: Fallout from Halloween Havoc. 1. Starrcade With Halloween Havoc in the books, we are officially on the road to the biggest night on the wrestling calendar, Starrcade. Jim Crockett Jr announces that the event will air live on pay per view, Thanksgiving night from the Greensboro Coliseum. He confirms the main event will see "Nature Boy" Buddy Landel defend the Ten Pounds of Gold against the "Doctor of Desire" Tom Prichard. 2. How many Horsemen are there? Perhaps the biggest story coming out of Halloween Havoc is the return of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard to the NWA. The three men joined Sean Mooney who asked Flair how he could once again side with these two men who both turned on him. Flair says they were brought together by their mutual desire to be the best to ever do it. He admits he & Tully allowed the NWA World title to come between them but they also pushed each other more than anyone either of them had ever been in the ring with. After they all left the NWA for various reasons Arn sat them all down and reminded them that they're better together. Mooney ask what's their relationship with the current ideration of the Four Horsemen but none of them really give a straight answer. Arn takes control of the interview and says he and Tully are calling out The Road Warriors. Those "face painted freaks" have disgraced the art of tag team wrestling long enough and at Starrcade he and Tully will set things right. 3. Manny Fernandez Fernandez won the "Trick or Treat" battle royal and now has a guaranteed shot at the NWA United States Title at Starrcade. After decimating a local talent Fernandez joins Mooney and says he feels like he's been spinning his wheels in the NWA forever. He's sick and tired of his career not going anywhere, sick and tired of being overlooked and he's sick and tired of being sick and tired. He's got no issue with Kevin Von Erich but the US title is the key to getting the respect he deserves in the NWA and he won't let it slip from his grasp.

spaldoni Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 No doubt in my mind, Budro and Prichard are going to tear the house down at Starrcade! Very intriguing situation with the Horsemen. Can't wait to see what goes down at Starrcade. Manny's has enough and is going into business for himself. Kevin better keep a close eye on him.

Autistic Dragon Posted Monday at 02:43 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 02:43 AM The Road Warriors respond. After utterly brutalizing two local talents the NWA World Tag Team champions joined Mooney and in their usual colorful style, addressed the challenge by Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard from last week. They said it doesn't matter if there's four horsemen or forty, they'll tear through anyone and everyone who tries to take these belts from them just as they've done for nearly a full year now. They finish by saying Arn & Tully are gonna wish they never came back to the NWA. Speaking of the Horsemen. JJ Dillion was notable by his absence as Harley Race claimed a win with his trusty Piledriver. Race then joins Mooney and says all he's heard since Halloween Havoc is people questioning the future of the Horsemen now that Ric Flair, Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard are back. He says if the three of them have reached out to the "real Horsemen" he hasn't heard of it. Says if any of them have anything to say to him they can come out and say to his face like a man. After a brief wait, Ric Flair comes out dressed to the nines. He says he wants to make it perfectly clear that of course the three of them have the utmost respect for Harley Race for everything he's done in this business, BUT the Four Horsemen was supposed to represent the best of the best, the elite of the wrestling world and, with all respect, he doesn't feel the current group lives up to that standard. Race asks what that's supposed to mean and Ric says as an example, Harley is one of the best to ever do it, a seven time NWA World champion, but those days are clearly behind him. Race says if Flair truly believes that then how about they meet at Starrcade and we'll see if Race is still an elite level talent or not. This finally brings Dillion out to try and diffuse the situation but neither man seems to pay him much attention. Flair says if he has to be the one to make Race face reality than so be it, he accepts! NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship. Too Cold Scorpio joined Mooney after defeating his opponent with his beautiful 450 splash and announced that after his victory in the brutal stretcher match at Halloween Havoc, the championship committee has granted him another shot at the NWA Junior Heavyweight title when he takes on "Wrestling Royalty" Brian Christopher at Starrcade. The Paul Jones Army. Jones was leading the Eliminators against the team of Jimmy Valiant and the NWA Heritage champion Tommy Rich. The youngsters gave a good showing, no doubt still riding high from winning the Six Man Tag titles, but the veteran instincts of "Wildfire" and the "Boogie Woogie Man" turned the tides and seemed to be closing in on a win when Jones signaled to the back which summoned Ivan Koloff & The Super Destroyer who stormed the ring causing a disqualification. The brawl was on with the Army's numbers giving them the edge until Shaska Whatley & the Nightmares ran down to make the save. Now the Army was outnumbered but Jones once again signaled to the back at which point KAMALA charged down the isle. The "Ugandan Giant" hit the ring like a wrecking ball dropping all the Army's enemies with chops to the head. The show ended with an all-out assault by Jones' men highlighted by Ivan choking Valiant with the "Russian chain" and Kamala hitting repeated splashes on Rich.

spaldoni Posted Monday at 10:42 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:42 PM After that Road Warriors segment, Arn and Tully might be rethinking things. YES! Flair and Harley one more time! This is what Starrcade is all about. I would say 2 Cold definitely earned his shot at the gold. Another gem match at Starrcade. Things got nuts and then went up another level when Kamala came out. Looks like another great set up for Starrcade. The NWA is on fire and Starrcade is shaping up to be one of the best cards of the year.
