Nikita Koloff vs Magnum T.A., 13 September 1986

Dr. L sent me a link to this match last week. (Thank you!) Minutes later I was jerking off. God, I love wrestling! This is a controversial match from 1986, the final year of Jim Crockett Promotions, when pro wrestling on TV was still about ring wrestling. Magnum T.A. turned into a quasi-heel fighting Nikita Koloff, another heel, all through the summer. That October, T.A. was in a near fatal car wreck that forced him into retirement.

The match is hot, as sweaty as it is mean. I've selected my favorite GIFs of it. See above. Enjoy.
