Wrestling: Pay-Per-View Players #6 - November 1986

#1 Junkyard Dog [--] (4-1-0) (WWF)
A double disqualification keeps the NWA World Heavyweight Championship around the waist of Ric Flair, but "The Night of the Skywalkers" also keeps The Nature Boy from reclaiming his place amongst the Top 10 Pay-Per-View Players! His opponent NWA United States Champion Nikita Koloff was a late replacement for Magnum TA -- whose life and career was changed forever by a car accident that left him paralyzed.

Victory in a hair vs hair match over Paul Jones delivers the unlikely top ranked NWA star of Jimmy Valiant to the #5 spot. More thrilling might be the rise of The Rock 'n' Roll Express -- NWA World Tag Team Champions Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson! Their second Starrcade win puts them at the top of the NWA dominated tag team rankings, while Bobby Eaton & Dennis Condrey (The Midnight Express) drop to the bottom with their second loss.
