I know I just mentioned this but the side-by-side comparison of the Lawler/Snowman angle with this horseshit is staggering. The best-done angle of the year right along with the worst. I'll conceded that I enjoyed the description of Rocky King as a "human licorice stick." The rest of Arn's promo is pretty great as he channels Jules Winnfield. But holy heaping Christ, the Horsemen should be so above having to come out to interview sets acting like they left their burning crosses in the back.

Sid loves wearing his tuxedo. Arn’s got his blue blockers. Good promo by Arn up to the “we don’t associate with your kind” regarding Rocky King.

 

Ole is flustered by Rocky King. Arn wants match time with Rocky King. Windham is not happy with others interfering in his matches. Arn wants King right now.

And leaving the obvious and regrettable racism aside, Arn vs. Rocky King is supposed to be a feature match now? This was a freakin' squash in 1985, and Rocky King hasn't done a damn thing, in kayfabe or real life, to elevate himself since. Really, what does this prove? It's like the WWF trying to push Steve Lombardi as something special by putting him in a torn Yankees shirt, making Bobby Heenan his manager, and calling him the Brooklyn Brawler. It didn't help Lombardi, and it won't help King. No offense, Rocky.

Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and Sid Vicious are with Jim Ross and Ross runs down the Horsemen’s matches at Clash of the Champions XI. Windham says that the Junkyard Dog is going to need all the help he can get because the World champion is not going to bow down to a man that is lesser than him. He’s got Lex Luger, he’s got Sting and he’s got Paul Orndorff, but it won’t make any difference. As for his match with Doug Furnas, he’s a little short of smarts and the Horsemen will take care of him easily. Arn is sick and tired of this collusion against the Horsemen and doesn’t know who died and made the JYD, Sting, Luger and Orndorff the guardian angels of the NWA! If they want to play stack the deck, if they want to jump on the Horsemen, at the Clash their theory is divide and conquer. You don’t become an elite athlete unless you’re an elite individual, and you don’t become a Horsemen unless you earn it. He doesn’t know who they think they are, but vengeance will be theirs, so if they want to jump them at the Clash, they’ll be waiting. As for Rocky King, this human liquorice stick that came out here walking, talking and mentioning his name on TV? He’s his better, and where he comes from, they don’t associate with your kind and they certainly don’t talk to you. If you mention his name you’ll get squashed and that’s the bottom line

 

Back on TBS and Ole is now with the rest of the Horsemen. He can’t believe that they let a guy like Rocky King come down and interfere in the match. Jim Ross talks about ‘interfering’, but what about his so called ‘superheroes’? Ross says that Ole came down first, but his response is that they had a man in the match and he just came down to watch and advise. Arn doesn’t know what project he came from or who he thinks he is, but Rocky King has signed his death warrant. He knows that Ross has the authority and he wants King on national TV today as it’s time for his attitude adjustment. Ross says that they have got the Midnight Express allocated for that time slot, but Ole says that he’ll talk to Cornette and get it sorted. Windham isn’t happy with Sting, JYD and Orndorff interfering in his match and they’re all now on the list, and they’re all going to have to pay some dues. Arn then says if Sting is the man he says he is, he wants him out here right now as it is time to put up or shut up!

 

Arn, generally, was really great here, but could have done without him cutting a racist promo on King. Sid continues to just stand in the background wearing his tuxedo.
