The Great American Bash is over and we move on to late summer in the world of the NWA and JCP. Later this same night, after this show aired on TBS, Ric Flair would win back the NWA World Heavyweight Title from the American Dream Dusty Rhodes in St. Louis. Flair will give a very good, serious interview on this show setting up the match. Additionally, we have footage of Flair and Dusty from Kansas City and the aftermath with Tully Blanchard and JJ Dillon.  We will also hear from Nature Boy Buddy Landel and Superstar Bill Dundee as well as a gloating Paul Jones and his army as they brag about cutting the hair of Jimmy Valiant.  The Rock and Roll Express and the Andersons begin an angle that set up matches during the "Super Summer Sizzler Tour." Matches? Yeah, there is some, but in 1986 it's all about the talk. And it was damn good. Enjoy.

It's the last day of the Great American Bash 1986 as Saturday August 2, would be in the finale of the tour in Atlanta's Fulton County Stadium. This TBS show, done mostly in the studio, has some very special moments. Such as, the first interview with new NWA World Heavyweight Champion Dusty Rhodes and footage of Jimmy Valiant losing his hair to Paul Jones.  The show also begins to build new regulars to TBS like Dick Murdoch, the Kansas Jayhawks and Superstar Bill Dundee along with the returning Buddy Landel. The Rock and Roll Express Super Summer Sizzler Tour is straight ahead and so would be the final matches in the best-of-seven for the U.S. Title between Magnum T.A. and Nikita Koloff.

LINK:  For the homies https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kFBSw2NMAPAeTLkKHORrDza-Ss7bQw1d/view?usp=sharing Our next stop, as we look back at 1986, is the fourth stop on the Great American Bash on tour: Memorial Stadium in Charlotte, NC. This is the original home of the "Bash" in 1985, but a year later it was the fourth on the tour after, Philadelphia, Washington D.C. and Memphis. A classic event, including Shaska Whatley getting a haircut thanks to Jimmy Valiant, a classic taped fist match between Tully Blanchard and Ron Garvin and what can be considered a five star match between Ric Flair and Ricky Morton.

This time, from Columbia, SC, a very loud and lively crowd will get to see, the Rock and Roll Express against Ole and Arn Anderson in a 30 minute time limit draw. But there is more, Don Kernodle is in action, Tully Blanchard against Sam Houston and the first couple of minutes only (sorry) of the Midnight Express against Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. Plus many great interviews, may of which were conducted by Jim Cornette. It's the middle of the summer and it's Bash Time!

A great show from the famed Dorton Arena in Raleigh that is completely different from the studio shows...and some great matches not normally seen on TBS.  We will see Black Bart vs Ron Garvin, Tully Blanchard vs Wahoo McDaniel, the Midnight Express against the Road Warriors and a Bunkhouse Match featuring the Rock and Roll Express and Dusty Rhodes against Ric Flair, Arn and Ole Anderson. WOW! Some good stuff and a very good angle between Jim Cornette and Baby Doll. A few notes concerning this episode: The 07-05-86 show could not be found. We looked. So we are jumping ahead one week to 07-12-86. Additionally, the show has many blurred out parts in the beginning, so hang in there.

It's the "go home" show for the Great American Bash. This episode of World Championship Wrestling originally aired three days before the first of the events:  Veterans Stadium, in Philadelphia.  However, on this show, David Crockett sits down with Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. and discusses what "America" means to them. In action, the NWA Tag Team Champions , the Midnight Express defeat Sam Houston and George South in a pretty good, but quick tag match. National Champion Tully Blanchard is in action as well. And Road Warrior Hawk prepares to do battle with Ric Flair as the two will meet in Philadelphia to kick off the Bash. Not the greatest of "go home" shows, but we will hear from Shaska Whatley, and that, in itself, is worth the listen.

We look back at a great show heading to the Great American Bash 1986. It's a short one and the matches are VERY short as well, but it was not your typical two-hour broadcast. Ivan and Nikita Koloff ramp up the verbiage heading to the best of seven for the US Title. The Four Horsemen do something that not many, if any, can say...they COMPLETELY lay out the Road Warriors leading to Ric Flair vs Hawk in Philadelphia to kick off the summer. And Big Bubba "no sells" the famous chair shot from the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. Get ready, folks! The Bash is almost here!

1986 rolls along, and rolls toward the Great American Bash! Are you ready for the debut of Steve Regal? No, not THAT Steve Regal. The former tag team partner of Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin in the AWA, makes his WCW debut. His tenure was short lived, but it began HERE.  Plus we have NEW NWA World Six-Man Tag Team Champions: Dusty Rhodes and the Road Warriors. And to celebrate, Baby Doll comes out to congratulate Hawk and Animal in a very odd moments.

On we go into 1986! This week, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson are together and Flair gives a very serious interview. Plus, the James Gang uses a rope to get back at Jim Cornette and the visual is startling as well as politically incorrect. Plus Jimmy Valiant and the Ragin' Bull Manny Fernandez are looking for Paul Jones and his army, and be sure to remember the phrase "Bald Headed Geek!" And finally, the contract between Magnum TA and Nikita Koloff is ready to be signed as we move closer to the famous Best of Seven for the U.S. Title.

On this very famous episode, the James Gang rides into the studios of TBS and causes quite a stir. Namely: Jim Cornette, who goes on to hijack the show. Also, we will hear from Baby Doll for the first time since she was attacked and see not only the James Gang take on the Midnight Express, but will also see the World Champion Ric Flair in action. Also, two big announcements on this program about what is coming to JCP this summer, one made by Mr. Jim Crockett at the start of the program and one made by a stumbling, bumbling Tony Schiavone at the end.

The Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Tag Team Tournament is over, but the heat is turned up. We begin a feud between Ric Flair and Ricky Morton with a Horsemen attack in the Rock and Roll Express dressing room. Additionally, in what may be one of the most inappropriate episodes of 1986, Baby Doll is attacked by Jim Cornette and Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin and Precious make further fun of Wahoo McDaniel's heritage. The angles don't hold up well in the world we live in now, but no denying, JCP on TBS was on a roll.  Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUS content: patreon.com/WHWMonday Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/WHWMonday Check out all the new cool merchandise at BoxOfGimmicks.com Buy a shirt at LoisRules.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/whw Save thousands at Savewithconrad.com Learn more about your ad choices.

And then the Peacock arrived. Poof! Here is another watch-along from the great year of 1986. But can you watch-along? Probably not, since everything is on the Cock right now and the WWE Network is no more.  However, Conrad and Tony are here with the great interviews you remember and the stories from the past from the April 12th edition of WCW.
