How did he even become the Dog? Also, while looking it up, is it true Sabu was supposed to have the role? I had never heard the Sabu stuff before but my guess and you can take this as gospel he was probably just gonna be apart of that group and not a dog but I'd like to see sabu's take on the dog and a best of 7 series with TAFKAPI would have been a ratings bonanza.

Coming into the second half of 1986 in the NWA. I've never seen how Dusty dealt with Magnum TA's accident, even if I do know what they did with Nikita Koloff after the accident.
Also, is the first Crockett Tag Cup on the Network? That's probably the most stacked tag tournament I've ever seen.

The WWF had the courage to run several cards featuring one-night tournaments for a shot at the Hart Foundation's tag titles and not only changed up the results each time but actually had face vs face and heel vs heel matches

I've just finished the 1st week of the Bischoff/Russo era I'm still perplexed why the new blood was the heels.It really is easy doing a reboot show but it's going downhill fast.The April 12th Thunder had a few production mess ups before going to commerical they say Flair vs Buff is next when they come back from break they show what they claimed happened moments ago Jeff Jarrett Dressed as a Villano hitting Sting with a guitar but that hadn't happened yet then they went to a Jarrett promo celebrating his plan then Flair/Buff then sting is shown heading to the ring,Then the actual segment Jarrett attacking Sting dressed as a Villano airs.This was a taped show.

Judy Martin was hardcore. First she throws Desiree Paterson into Gene Okerlund's lap, then she does it again into Monsoon's lap.

Billy Jack Haynes sometimes endorses checks as "Mr. Full Nelson." No wonder he's broke now.

Magnum TA's accident was October 14th 1986.
The news was reported in the mainstream media.
The first wrestler to show up on the October 18th edition of WCW?
Magnum TA.
People must have been SO confused.
EDIT: And it gets better the next week!
Dusty Rhodes: "First of all, I don't care what ya'll think, I don't have to explain myself. Second of all, Magnum TA, he crashed, well, this brought hard times on ME. Now I had to find a new partner and that's when HE called me. NIKITA KOLOFF!!!"
(Now of course if you're into the magazines, you've seen the iconic "I Cry For Magnum TA" cover, but if you are NOT into them, this sounds like Dusty had a moment of weakness and aligned himself with that evil f***ing Russian!)
I just imagine little Timmy in Atlanta watching this shit.
"Pa? Why was Magnum TA fine last week after his accident but now Dusty sez he has to find a new partner? PA?!? WHY IS IS DUSTY SAYING HE DOESN'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF?!? PA!?!?!?!? WHY IS DUSTY FRIENDS WITH NIKITA NOW?!?!
I'm sad now."

I'm amazed by how much I remember from wwf in 2000 but I'm also amazed how little I remember from wcw in 2000.

Muraco/Orton vs. The Rougeaus features a rare announce team of Jesse Ventura and Bruno Sammartino. There were times during the 3-man team with Vince where Bruno didn't say an entire word except during the replay so maybe this was Vince forcing him to actually speak for once.

I still don't get why they felt the need to show the actual Billy Graham hip operation. Like, who needs to see that? It was gorier than most horror films.
