This is the single greatest motivational sports song ever. If there's a musical definiton for "magical", this is it!

Who else had a Crockett Cup tourney with their LJN WWF action figures?

I miss these days, and wrestling the way it was so bad. The Jim Crocket Sr Memorial Cup '87 had to be one of my all time favorites. Watching Dusty and Nikita team up and win it - it was just amazing. I still tear up when Magnum comes out.

My brother ordered it too at the time. I loved this event. It needs to be on DVD.

Best thing on here is Luger selling BABA CHOPZ

@GFoxIV77 Magnum T.A. This was Magnum's first appearance since his near-fatal car accident in the fall of 1986.

how can you not get excited watching this? nwa talent was way ahead of wwf

Takes me right back to my childhood. I really miss those days and this kind of wrestling. It will never be like that again. Such a special time

The 87 Crockett Cup,MAN, Amazing and it was in my hometown.

Rip Dusty Rhodes

Wow!....I haven't seen this since I was like 10 years old.

I imagine Nikita is looking at that piece of paper handed to him and thinking, “What you mean this is Kayfabe check???!!!”

I rented this in the 80s. I believe there was a match between Ric Flair and Barry Windham on this tape that was a very good match.

@MagicKirin ...definitely. Windham had a nervous breakdown in the WWF because of the road schedule and literally bailed without notice in 85. Vince had big plans for him, Windham just couldnt handle the road. When Windham came back in 89, as the widowmaker, he was due for another big push but he had to leave again because of his father and brother's counterfeiting ring arrest.

we need to get this back people, this was so fucking awesome

I didnt know Steve Perry wrestled @ 1:17

Love the music :D I really need to get all 3 cups on tape/DVD.

I rented this tape so much at my video store they let me take it for free anytime I wanted

thank u for posting this this ws my favorite event from that era, i wish these promotions have the balls to bring this type event back

@BlueSnaggleTooth316, you have no idea how long I've been searching for the title of this song. Thanks a Billion.

thank you! I've seriously been wondering for years what the name of this song was and it got stuck in my head after watching this even on YT. thank you very much from a "Crockett Kid" in the 1980s

me and my mom ordered this tape too....awesome tape...i loved the music! man!! really takes me back. :O)

@MagicKirin thats cause Dusty had a vendetta against Windham. Dusty had him pegged as a future world champ, but then Windham jumped to the WWF in '85. He wasnt trusted after that. Plus, Flair had a stranglehold on the belt.

I grew up watching the NWA back then. Hogan and those guys in the WWF at the time couldn't carry these guys jocks.

rhodes magnum koloff 3 of the greatest of all time

@4everdanitykane Indeed it was. I called it..my wife looked it up and I was right. I LOVE these 80's NWA themes!

listen closely to the music, then look up the the music to john madden football 1991

Went to this. Was awesome. But almost got our camera jacked coming out of Baltimore arena. Almost had to pull ah russian sickle on those fools

Crocketts never would give Barry a run with the title. He could wrestle as well as Flair., when Flair was at his peak.

This was the BEST......????

If you can watch this event and not shed a tear your either not a true fan of you don't have a heart

hahahahahaha this is amazing

At the end Nikita’s like wait a minute, I did all that for a kayfabe check ?

@Clintbdee Yes that is The Big Bossman AKA Ray Traylor.

@4everdanitykane I've been telling people that NWA used that music 25 years ago and everyone thought I was crazy. Glad someone else caught it.

That's Denny Brown. He was the former NWA Jr. heavyweight champion at that time. He lost the belt to Lazortron (Hector Guerrero) about a month prior.

1:17 I was wondering when you'd show up

It's actually Denny Brown, the former NWA Jr. heavyweight champion.

at 0:41 -is that Ray Traylor?

This song is in a hilarious cheetos commercial

Anybody have the music video of the 86 cup?

oops --guess not! If i'd have watched a few minutes before posting that..

Do you have the video 4 the 86 cup?

@4everdanitykane that would be correct!

@flipgood89 LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!

@flipgood89 did not know that but with all the politics in the business does not surprise me. Of course since Barry never was given a chance of a singles run innWWF very ironic

Thumbs up if the Cheetos commercial sent you looking for this vid.

They should have let the Mulkeys get a first round win, then lose to Rude and Raging.

this was utterly the shit, even though Ronnie and Jimmy Garvin didn't win !!!!

Who does this theme song. Where can I get it? Very catchy tune.

One more thing "marks"....Who's the guy Dusty Rhodes hugs towards the end?

@mwoelfle I knew that I was being sarcastic
