World Championship Wrestling 2-4-89

Results:

NWA United States Tag Team Champions Kevin Sullivan and "Dr. Death" Steve Williams d. George South and Bob Emery with an armbar.
The Fantastics d. Trent Knight and Eddie Sweat with the Tower of Quebec
Abdullah the Butcher d. David Heath with an elbow drop
NWA TV Champion Rick Steiner d. Mike Thor with a belly to belly suplex
Barry and Kendall Windham d. Mike Justice and Robbie Wise with a bulldog
Midnight Express d. the Terminators with the Flapjack
Butch Reed d. Jerry Price w/ a top rope clothesline

Dick Murdoch d. Mike Thor with a brainbuster
Mike Rotunda d. Mike Allen with a butterfly suplex
Michael Hayes, Junkyard Dog and Sting d. Max MGuyver and the Cruel Connection with the DDT

The Horsemen changed hands from JJ Dillion to Hiro Matsuta on this episode. Flair and Windham cut pretty good promos about it. Flair's exact words:

Until you have experienced a beautiful Japanese woman, you have no idea idea of how gracious the Japanese culture is.

Nice.

Tony Schiavone leaves with this episode for the WWF and gets replaced by Magnum TA. Magnum isn't quite the announcer but he's still okay.

The company is kind of in a transition here. When we get to April/May timeframe, the company will look a lot different than it does now. Windham will be gone, Luger will be heel, they'll be taping the shows in an arena instead of a tv studio, the Great Muta joins the company, etc. So things are a little slow right now but they'll start picking up quickly when March rolls around.

Overall, this show was kind of slow and boring. They're mostly hyping the upcoming Clash of the Champions and Chi-Town Rumble shows. I will be watching those and posting results and thoughts as well.
