**Final Thoughts**: It's been like 10 years since I watched this show. Even then, I believe it was a home video release, so a lot of stuff was cut out and edited. I only watched it because I had it in my collection, since I had to have all the big shows on DVD.

**Final Thoughts**: Honestly, these old NWA shows all feel like the same show to me. So I forget a lot of what goes on in all of them. Nothing stood out to me about these events. But I did watch it once, I do know that. I just don't remember a lot about it.

I'm gonna lump both the Crockett Cup and GAB in one part here mainly because the only versions of each I've seen are from the edited VHS tapes...
PPV/Supercard Talk #9:



1) What do you rate this event? (1-5, 5 being the best):Both 3

2) What were you looking forward to or most excited to see at this event?:The classic tag wrestling and Flair/Dusty in a cage on the last day of the Bash

3) What did you like most about this event?:Crockett Cup from 86-88 was awesome to me since I love classic tag wrestling,GAB with Flair defending his belt in all the different cities.

4) What did hate most about this event?:That both were clipped on VHS

5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?:Seeing the full shows and not the watered down versions


a) best match:RNR vs Ole/Arn( I wish they release the full match)GAB,Midnights/Road Warriors

b) worst match:Tully/Garvin in taped fist match (GAB), As far as Crockett Cup it's hard to say since pretty much all of em were clipped

c) fav match:Flair/Dusty GAB, Fantatics/Fab Ones (CC) I wish they would release the full match!



**Final Thoughts**: Again I cant give these two shows fair reviews considering I haven't seen ewm in their entirety. I love classic NWA so they both get a pass from me but man come on WWE put these on the network!!

Starrcade 86




1) What do you rate this event? (1-5, 5 being the best):3

2) What were you looking forward to or most excited to see at this event?:Flair/Magnum originally plus the scaffold match

3) What did you like most about this event?:World Tag Title match and Flair/Nikita

4) What did hate most about this event?:No Magnum TA plus the disappointing match between Tully/Dusty

5) What could/would have made this event better to/for you?:I really wish we got Flair/Magnum in the main event


a) best match:Arn/Ole vs RNR (Gotta love classic NWA tag wrestling!)

b) worst match:Many options here but I'll go with Jimmy V vs Paul Jones

c) fav match:Arn/Ole vs RNR



**Final Thoughts**: It's not a bad Starrcade but the Magnum accident really hurts it as that was main focus of the show. The tag title match though is very good plus the scaffold is a must see for historical purposes so with that this event still gets a pass from me.

And I'm with ya ClassicFan2 I'm a big classic NWA fan as well
