NWA World Championship Wrestling 3/22/86 Quick review ....Nothing Happened! Seriously I watched the full show twice because I thought I missed something, I did not! Not a boring or bad show really very solid Squash matches and solid interviews(as always) But not one competitive bout or angle!....and yet that was much better than what came next!
3/23/86 Andre the Giant and JunkYard Dog vs The Funks and Jimmy Hart in a handicapped match. This bout proves magic is beyond a shadow of a doubt real. As their is no other reason why a match with 6 sure fire hall-of-fame guys could be this sloppy/awful! Andre is by this point in his life(sadly, almost incapable of movement)! JYD is a shell of what/who he was in Mid South 5 years earlier. Terry Funk is great but he knows this is shit so he turns into a cross between Dick Murdoch and Shep from The Three Stooges! Dory is so robot like thru this atrocity that he makes Dean Malenko look like Ricky Morton sell-wise! Jimmy Hart gets bonus points for wearing one of the worst sets of ring gear ever! He looks like a fool and that was the goal so good for him! He resembles a living candycane! The "Comedy" for lac of a better term didn't work! There were several things in this match that made no sense! Every time Dory and Andre locked up that seemed to chat about something for minutes! At one point Dory has JYD in a sleeper and in mid hold he lets go tags Terry who forearms Dog twice and then puts the sleeper back on!,,,,Why? To top it all off Andre gets the hot tag nails Jimmy on the apron Jimmy fails off the apron like he is dead and then a minute later is back up! So a runt pipsqueak can take a Andre the Giant punch and be ok and not on a stretcher out cold? Why??....God I hate wrestling....(to self, breathe it is almost over!) HA! This disaster ends when as the ref is trying to make the Giant go back to his corner, The Funks hold Dog so Jimmy Hart can come off the turnbuckle with his megaphone and nail him. The ref turns in time to see this and calls for the DQ! The heels powder as Andre is swinging JYD's chain over his head. Dog leaves the ring too Giant with a long chain no thanks!....They should put this on flights for bad flyers who don"t want Xanax! put them right out!
A solid if plain NWA show and train wreck of a handicapped match from Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto! Another odd entry into the #1986WrestlingWars!
