SUMMARY: APPROX. RUNNING TIME: 12:13 Min.
Taped in either January or early February of 1987, this house show match from Philadelphia’s Civic Center was aired on February 7, 1987, for WTBS’ World Championship Wrestling TV series. Appearing without his Four Horseman cronies, Arn Anderson (then half of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew with Ole Anderson) faces off against rival Barry Windham. At the time, Windham shared half of the NWA’s U.S. Tag Team Championship with Ronnie Garvin.
Providing the match’s commentary are Tony Schiavone and promoter David Crockett.
REVIEW:
Making it look easy, even an average Windham vs. Anderson match-up surpasses many of their contemporaries on their best days. While this TV showdown might not inspire multiple viewings, the sweaty workmanship that Windham and Anderson put forth in this rugged bout is still commendable. More so, one gets a welcome clean finish in this nostalgic NWA treat.
