Tv Reviews 2/15/86

 Memphis TV 2/15/86
      Easy review nothing of any importance happened! Two separate Austin Idol music videos were shown. As were a Fantastics and a Rick Casey music video(to Merle Haggard's "Natural High" the oddest video choice ever, cause nothing says kick ass wrestler like a mature love ballad!) Jerry Lawler and the Mod Squad and Idol sent in taped interviews, Lawler's in front of a horrible green screen! There were squashes by Abdul Kadaffi, "Thunderbolt" Hamilton, Buddy Landell and Dutch Mantell in a tag match and by Dirty Rhodes and Rick Casey in a two fall expiration of time match! Lance Russell took the week off, I can see why!
      WWF All-Star Wrestling 2/15/86 Nothing on this show to speak off! Squashes by Adrian Adonis, Ricky Steamboat, Don Muraco, JYD/George Steele,  the Hillbillies and Randy Savage! Best thing on the show two local promos for a Sacramento house show by Bobby Heenan and the Iron Sheik!
    NWA Worldwide Wrestling 2/15/86 Finally a show where things happened!There were many squash matches, but It really started with the Koloffs doing an interview where they stated that this week would be Nikita's last match on television until Magnum TA agreed to give him a U.S. Title match on tv So America could watch him get beat. Nikita beat 2 men in a handicapped match with a double Russian Sickle! Magnum said he would happily put the belt up anytime Koloff wanted a shot. They showed the Midnight Express winning the World Tag Team Belts from the Rock' N Roll Express from the TBS special that aired the week prior. NWA official Sandy Scott came out and told Cornette the NWA was levying a fine of five thousand dollars for the use of his tennis racquet during the title bout! Corny told Scott he would have brought the money out right then, but he was worried announcer Bob Caudle would try to steal it!(a great line)! Jim Crockett then came out and said he was having his lawyers look into getting the tennis racquet banned for good! Jimmy was not pleased about this turn of events! JJ Dillion did an interview he said it would only take Tully Blanchard 4 weeks not 6 to beat Dusty for the National Title(they had previously predicted 6 weeks)! The show closing angle was Arn Anderson was defending the World TV Belt against Denny Brown. They had a fine back and forth bout going until double AA threw Brown to the floor and in doing so Brown hurt his knee. Arn went to work on it until Dusty came out and told referee Tommy Young to stop the Match. Dusty got in the ring to check on Denny. AA tried to attack him, Dusty beat him to the punch but Tully came down to get Dusty from behind. They hit Rhodes with Dillion's shoe and were laying the boots to him until Magnum came in and ran them off! Action packed show right there!
