NWA US Tag Team Champions Ronnie Garvin & Barry Windham vs Midnight Express - NWA WCW 12/27/86

It is the twilight of the Condrey version of Midnight Express as he would be gone in March of 87 and Stan Lane would take up the mantle in this very feud and deliver a banger against this very team in May of 87. I thought this match was just alright and I would say is overhyped.

It is very much worked like a 20 minute draw. The babyfaces get very little in the way of offense which is unusual for a Crockett match. Windham works the mat well To start and we get a couple nice Garvin punches and a head scissors and a top rope sunset flip. After that it is all MX and we get three at segments in a row. They are well worked heat segments lots of eye rakes, hair pulling and choking. Some good Sweet Home Alabama rights by Eaton. No one gets quite as down and dirty as Condrey. There were very little in the way of high spots and the transitions were not emphatic. Like all of sudden they take over on Garvin. Because of an ad break we miss the hot tag to BW and how do they take over on him. When Garvin gets the hot tag yes there are some punches but some hair pulling and it is back to the heat segment. There’s just no oomph. With about 2minutes in the time limit we finally get a little fire with the Rocket Launcher from Eaton and a Brainbuster from Condrey But Garvin is saved by the bell. Watch the 87 match with Lane this is good but nothing special. ***
