CROCKETT CUP  87 RAW FOOTAGE (VERY GOOD QUALITY) 3HRS

Match listings & descriptions by Chris Tabar
Oh yeah, now we're talking!  What we have here is 3 hours of raw footage shot by an NBC affiliate in the DC area in preparation for a couple of
pieces they did on professional wrestling. There are backstage interviews with wrestlers - which end up being used in the piece, which is included
along with a bunch of complete matches from the Crockett Cup tourney.  These matches are far more complete than  what's available on the
commercial tape of the show, as you get the entire quarterfinal, semifinal, and final rounds.  This is truly a must-have for the old-school fan,
no question about it!  The matches are shot by a single, pro-quality, stationary camera.)
1.        Interviews w/Ric Flair, Mike Rotundo, Jim Cornette, Magnum TA, some NWA exec, Road Warriors 
2.        Pez Whatley & Teijo Khan vs Road Warriors
3.        Midnight Express vs Ron & Jimmy Garvin 
4.        Kevin Sullivan & Arn Anderson vs Bob & Brad Armstrong
5.        Brad & Bart Batten vs Tully Blanchard & Lex Luger
6.        Interview w/Barry Windham (Windham basically breaks kayfabe, talking about his departure from the WWF, his partnership with 
         Mike Rotundo, the fact that Rotundo is his brother-in-law, etc.  Good stuff.)
7.        Interview w/Dave Meltzer (yes, Meltzer!)
8.        "The George Michael Sports Machine" (this would be the reason that NBC was at the tourney filming in the first place) 
9.        Tully Blanchard & Lex Luger vs Bob & Brad Armstrong (***1/2 - good stuff)
10.     Midnight Express vs Road Warriors (SLIGHTLY clipped) 
11.     Rick Rude & Manny Fernandez vs Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff ( JIP - I'm sorry, but it's just bad booking to have the reigning world 
         tag champs eliminated in the quarterfinals)
12.     Tully Blanchard & Lex Luger vs Giant Baba & Isao Takagi (semis - you might find yourself wondering "how the heck did Baba & Takagi 
         get to the semis?  Well, they had two byes and beat one jobber team - Royal & Brown - to get there.  That's how.  Crockett must've promised 
         Baba a semis push to get him to come over from Japan or something.) 
13.     Midnight Express vs Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff (semis - slightly clipped)
14.     RIC FLAIR VS BARRY WINDHAM (GREAT match!  27+ minutes.  Ric Flair matches are so much better when he's actually allowed to show 
         offense like he does here against Windham.  Back and forth action that, amazingly enough, doesn't feature a bladejob by Flair.  Weird thing is, 
         in one of the postmatch interviews done by NBC, he's sporting a band-aid anyway!)
15.     The return of Magnum TA (TA's first wrestling appearance since his Oct  86 car wreck.  This is truly one of the great moments of the NWA in the
         mid-80s.  HUGE pop and genuine emotion for TA.  Great stuff.)
16.     Tully Blanchard & Lex Luger vs Dusty Rhodes & Nikita Koloff (Finals)

6.        Magnum TA's 3 Greatest Matches (For somebody who wasn't watching in 1985/86, it's hard for them to understand how big a star Magnum  was.  

          This guy was *THE* star at that time.  He undoubtedly  would have won the NWA title many times and was already the most popular wrestler in the world 

          even bigger than Hulk Hogan - when he got in his car accident.  This guy had it all - looks, workrate, mic skills, the whole package.)

US

13.     Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson vs Fantastics (complete - I've said this before, I'll say it again - the Fantastics are the most underrated tag team of all-time!  

         If they had each been 3 inches taller, they would have been world champs many times over.  I still say they were the best team of the 80s.  Forget the 

         Road Warriors, Horsemen, Bulldogs, etc - the Fantastics were the best!)

14.     Ric Flair vs Nikita Koloff

15.     Lex Luger & Sting vs Tully Blanchard & Arn Anderson (Finals - complete)
