One of wrestling’s brightest young stars has his future stolen in an instant. — Nikita Koloff turns babyface in a manner that is both shocking and completely logical. — Ric Flair gives Baby Doll her walking papers. The Nature Boy has a long history of questionable decisions involving women, but this one comes with a pink slip. — The Four Horsemen ambush Dusty Rhodes in a parking lot—and have the whole thing videotaped for public consumption. Nothing says class like a gang beat down with a camera crew. — The Midnight Express are forced to face the Road Warriors in a Scaffold Match at Starrcade, and Jim Cornette cannot hide his displeasure. — Paul Jones has crushed Jimmy Valiant’s spirit by taking Jimmy’s hair, and then his best friend. Valiant has nothing left to put up to get Jones to agree to another Hair Match…or does he?
