Chi-Town Heat! NWA Starrcade 1987 Review

[@Ariurotl]

If there's one thing I learned from these retro reviews, it's that back in the 1980s, men in their 20s used to look like they were in their 40s.

[@HeinerGunnar]

But then proceeded to look like that for the next 30 years

[@Ariurotl]

@@HeinerGunnar Yup!

[@Filmation77]

*Cough* Arn Anderson*Cough*

[@johnremp3470]

Saw one of Brian's videos said earthquake was 27, at that pay per view, and i was like how am I three years older than he is there? He's always been 46.

[@johnremp3470]

Holy shit I'm 3 years older than Steve Williams in this video. I think Steve was born 35 though.

[@Kaltagstar96]

Steve Williams being 27 at this point is fucking insane, I never realised that Steve was like Arn Anderson and Earthquake in that he seems to have been born middle aged. I really love seeing all these 1980s or JCP recaps and would love to see more of them.

[@thekidfromiowa]

Arn and Tully were only 29 and 33 years old!

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

He was born in 1960 the same year as my dad and looked older than my dad at that age

[@DLRX]

Same with a guy like the One Man Gang, I found out he was still in his 20s when he was playing Akeem. Crazy.

[@Alsebra]

You can add Paul Heyman (who I hadn't realized was a manager at the age of *21*) to that list...dude never really looked younger than his mid-30s, despite being 25 in *1990*.

[@oldandbitter]

As creative as Eddie Gilbert was, his most impressive life accomplishment will forever be marrying both peak Missy Hyatt AND Madusa (separately, of course)!

I may be one of the few subscribers you have that remembers watching this on closed circuit. Gosh, it was like watching a movie in a theater. It was awesome. One thing I can say about Flair-Garvin. Every time they wrestle, they just chop the crap out of each other. Beat each other senseless

[@jordanfligor]

Best parts of Wednesday the classic PPV reviews. So well put together and love to see some of this old school wrestling. Love the other content as well.

[@vincenth.8793]

The story is Big Bubba only got paid half of what everyone else got. He left to go be Big Boss Man and get into a program with Hogan in WWF.

[@DLRX]

Yep, Cornette has told that story more than once. Glad it worked out for Bubba, he got to work with the top guy and make more money.

[@mattheweubanks6163]

Mad respect to BBM and Hogan for the suplex off the cage......twice

[@vincenth.8793]

@Matthew Eubanks The one I remember is the time they did it on Saturday Nights Main Event, when Zeus block Hogan from getting in the cage. Ahhhh, good times.

[@mikeplumer7687]

Yup

[@alabamaraider726]

You are 100% correct about JCP having the upper hand with their story lines. I loved the WWF and many of my favorite childhood memories revolve around watching Hogan, Andre, Macho Man, etc. But, while the WWF went with more over the top and crazy story lines, JCP seemed real and made you feel as if those guys were putting their lives on the line every time they stepped in the ring. For instance, I was really worried that one of the Road Warriors would be killed during the Night of the Skywalkers match.

[@tthomaselli2]

The intro from 0:00-0:09 made me laugh. Great work, Brian--as always...

[@enterthefarside]

These classic PPV reviews keep getting better and better.

[@jeffbutler6564]

Good review! It’s tough to see how Vince and the WWF really downgraded Dusty, Ronnie Garvin, and Terry Taylor compared to how they were here.

[@rickyrosay33977]

I agree those 3 you named were excellent workers I would also add Barry Wyndham on the list as well

[@PowerPackers90]

I love going back on 1st the network and now Peacock and watching these old NWA/JCP/WCW shows from the mid 80s - early 90s. it feels like you are watching a real sports show with soap opera elements in the middle of it. unlike WWF at the time which like you said. Feels like a Saturday morning cartoon based on Pro Wrestling.

[@kevinpayton2664]

That's always been the comparison of the two promotions.

[@claytonjones8358]

[@eastsidereviews727]

It is funny to think that the cable companies could've just called Vince's bluff and ran this show, cause that would've severely hurt Mania 4's buy rate. He had no real leverage but what he said worked. Damn.

[@kvsimagination7299]

I think you are referring to video packages show Ron in several chopping battles with Flair and the Horsemen from non televised Arena shows. They were showing in the run up to Garvin winning the Title. That one of two video packages from when I started watching the NWA that I remember but are have not seen since. The other being the Dusty Rhodes interruption of a back stage interview with a baseball bat that go him suspended, and lead to the Midnight Rider. That got me hooked!

[@twocentsmiguel]

You’re missing out.

[@Kingofb0ngstyle]

I can see anything before '87 but there's a lot of good wrestling from 88-97

[@jamesabernethy7896]

The start to this video really made me smile. I save a lot of your videos as workout videos but watched this one now. Even though I follow a few wrestling channels I'm not the biggest wrestling fan in the world. I find the real-life people more interesting than the character they create and the backstage politicking much more fascinating than the in-ring storylines. As entertaining as the early 2000s were for wrestling fans... for better or for word late 80's and 90's stuff had much more personality.

[@DrWattson]

It's funny you mentioned Nikita Koloff being a possible influence on the Strong Mad voice, because I've typically considered Andre the Giant (particularly his performance in Princess Bride) as a possible influence. But considering the Brothers Chap grew up in Georgia, they absolutely would have been in JCP territory and obviously watched wrestling growing up.

[@Aevilbeast]

There are some Andre promo's where the man is 100% completely and utterly unintelligible. Hell, the man himself probably would'nt have been able to tell ya what he said if he watched it back himself! LOL! Don't get me wrong though, it didn't hurt him any...If anything it probably helped his whole big primal monster mystique that so many wrestler, before and after him, have tried so hard to portray but usually fail miserbly and made him that much more intimidating!

[@oldandbitter]

Strong Mad must have been the voice inspiration for Rick the Hormone Monster on Big Mouth. "You're the man, Steeeeeeve!"

[@ajk]

I just thought of Family Guy with this thing honestly lol.

[@Alsebra]

​@@Aevilbeast, that's more due to his fairly thick French accent.

[@Aevilbeast]

@@Alsebra Well, that and his extremely deep and guttural sounding voice. There's a video on YT somewhere, where Andre is genuinely getting mad at a promoter and starts yelling at him(not for a promo or anything like that)...and he legit sounds like some kind of giant monster. It was terrifying and really gave you another reason that you never wanted to make him angry...like you really need another! LOL!

Flair's BEST post champion comment to Garvin was "okay Garvin you proved to the world you could beat me, now prove to me your the better man"

[@Thor-Orion]

I agree. He does great work and deserves more exposure. Hook him up, Brian! You’re basically the OG of KZbin wrestling, help out a deserving smaller creator in Dave. I think your differing styles of humor would work well together, as well!

[@oldandbitter]

Not only were Sting and Gilbert & Steiner on the same team in terms of UWF alumni, but they were in the same faction (Hyatt-Hot Stuff International). Sting ended up leaving the faction to assist John Tatum who Gilbert and Missy Hyatt turned on, both in storyline and real life. Ah, pro wrestling! Also, Dusty didn't lose a retirement match to bring back The Midnight Rider gimmick. He was "suspended" for attacking Tully Blanchard and officials with a baseball bat after Tully struck Magnum TA. It's an incredible angle and Tully's punch to deck the injured Magnum was pretty realistic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3LXdqirr9qcaZI

[@michaelbandada8330]

"Listen to me, dahdee! Tonight, you're gonna win the title but it would be overruled last minute because of shenanigans! That means, you ain't winning the strap" -a typical creative meeting with Dusty Rhodes

[@kvsimagination7299]

For Eddie Gilbert matches - The famous "Battle of New Orleans" Gilbert & Taylor vs Chris Adams & Sting. This Adams and Taylors tag team break up and pull in of Sting and Gilbert was arguably UWF's swan song feud. Good portion of this UWF stuff is on KZbin. After Rick Steiner turned face from the Varsity Club, Gilbert was his tag partner before Scott. See Clash of Champions 6 Ragin' Cajin, and Wrestle War 89. After the horsemen broke Eddie's nose, he challenged Flair and Barry Windom to a tag team match with a surprise partner. That partner was a returning Ricky Steamboat, and lead to that great Steamboat - Flair feud in '89.

[@studogable]

17:45 - Dusty took the title off of Luger to set up the subsequent Luger-Flair program after they turned Lex face in the Bunkhouse Stampede. And honestly, Dusty needed a little pop at this point. Aside from his side gig with the Road Warriors, he'd been without a belt - or even a meaningful angle - for most of 1987. 19:20 - those might be ironic cheers. The Garvin Stomp was execrable. The Hands of Stone right cross had been played ad infinitum since the last Starrcade, and that's what got him over in 1987 for his title rub. The Stomp killed his heat.

[@ClassicWrestlingReview]

Oh, god! I'll never look at Nikita Koloff the same. He IS Strong Mad! 😆
