4.0 out of 5 stars The Horsemen Reign Supreme This Night, July 9, 2007
By D.P. (California) - See all my reviews
  
I recently saw this PPV on WWE 24/7 and it was actually a very solid wrestling card put on by the NWA at the time. Usually at this time, the matches were edited down (or completely taken out) so the tape would run around 2 hours but since I saw the replay of the PPV & not the tape version, I don't know what's been edited.

NWA Tag Team Champions Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs. Sting & Nikita Koloff - They went to the 20 min. draw here but it was a solid match here from beginning to end. You saw the traits of what made Arn & Tully one of the greatest tag teams as they cut the ring in half & always kept their opponetts in control while Sting & Nikita held their own here as well.
(Also available on the "Ric Flair & The Four Horsemen" DVD)

NWA United States Tag Team Champions The Fantastics vs. Midnight Express - The stipulation was that Jim Cornette would be suspended above the ring (and if I remember right, he had a straight jacket on as well). This was another solid tag team match here as both teams were young & the match had a faster pace than the opener. With the Midnight Express being one of the original high flyin' tag teams of it's time along with the Fantastics being an underrated team, it was the "sleeper" match of the night with Cornette crying & acting scared thoughout the match just adds a bit of humor.

"Tower Of Doom" Triple Cage Match: Road Warriors, Steve Williams, Jimmy & Ron Garvin vs. Kevin Sullivan, Mike Rotunda, Al Perez, Ivan Koloff, Russian Assassain - This structure is similar to the "Ready To Rumble" cage that WCW had around 2000. The storyline regarding this match was that Kevin Sullivan wanted Precious, Jimmy Garvin's wife. The way the match worked is that one member of each team enters the top cage & every two mins., another member of each team enters at the top cage. While that's happening, the trap doors in each cage will open and the object is to get all of your team members though each of the 3 cages out the door at the bottom in which Precious herself holds the keys to. This was your typical multiman brawl for around 20 mins. as it really got interesting in the end with Sullivan & Jimmy Garvin remaining and Sullivan trying to get at Precious.

NWA United States Champion Barry Windham vs. Dusty Rhodes - This wasn't a classic match but it was an enjoyable match for most of the match for the first 10 mins. until the ending when Barry Windham put the claw on Dusty & held it on for at least the last five minutes until the referee got knocked out & Ron Garvin came out to cost Dusty the match in the end. It was an enjoyable match between the two until the end.

NWA Champion Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger - Eventhough Luger has a reputation for nothing being as great in the ring as he should be for the position he was pushed in, he pulled his own weight here in one of his best matches in his series with Flair. Eventhough some of the moves were obiviously botched (closeline over the top rope with both wrestlers taking at least a minute to go over to the floor), it was a solid match up with Flair doing what he does best in the ring while Luger displayed alot of power moves. The ending was a jip with the match being stopped right before Luger won the title but if you knew how the NWA would book their title matches, it was almost expected.

Overall, this was a solid event from top to bottom eventhough there are better events from this era of the NWA that are worth the high price set for this rare tape. I recommend this.
