On this episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson fire up the time machine and revisit the August 30, 1986, edition of World Championship Wrestling! Jim Crockett announces that the National Tag Team Championship is being rebranded as the United States Tag Team Championship, and much of the program is devoted to promoting a massive one night tournament at the Omni to crown the inaugural champions. Plus, Wahoo McDaniel captures the National Heavyweight Championship from Tully Blanchard in Los Angeles, the Kansas Jayhawks confront Jim Cornette and Big Bubba, and Ric Flair delivers another tremendous television match against Mike Jackson.
Then, the show closes with chaos as the Four Horsemen confront Dick Murdoch only for Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. to rush to his defense! Fall is approaching, the rivalries are intensifying, and both excitement and heartbreak are on the horizon. This is Jim Crockett Promotions in the 1980s!
