What Happened When

What happens when the Road Warriors get their hands on a couple of pumpkins and a scaffold? The Midnight Express gets a preview of Starrcade '86.

On this episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson jump ahead a week in their 1986 Jim Crockett Promotions watch-along to the next available episode. It opens with an all-time visual as the Road Warriors send pumpkins splattering to the floor, giving Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express a pretty good idea of what could happen at Starrcade '86: Night of the Skywalkers.

The interviews come fast and fierce, with Ric Flair, Nikita Koloff, Jim Cornette, Wahoo McDaniel, Rick Rude, and Tully Blanchard all getting time on the mic. Jimmy Garvin, Arn Anderson, and Brad Armstrong see action in matches so quick you might miss a finish if you blink. It's classic Crockett on the road to Starrcade, when a couple of pumpkins could sell the danger of a scaffold match before anybody took a bump.
