Magnum would have carried the World title had it not been for the accident. What a loss to wrestling that was.

@TadRaunch Right, he was Polish. He had changed his name from Yokozunaski.

@fjccommish Yokozuna wasn't Japanese!

@TheJohnnyCotts It was to unify the national and us titles.

@NAYellowjackets Thanks. Never heard about Nikita and Wahoo having a best of 7 before.

[NAYellowjackets]

@TheJohnnyCotts yes best of 7 between wahoo and nikita. saw it happen.

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@NAYellowjackets Was it a best of seven? PWI said that was just one match to unify the US and National titles with Wahoo winning the National title from Tully Blanchard only 2 weeks beforehand.

@allenkung I don't know if the other matches were ever taped. This was back when a lot of the business was done at house shows. According to PWI, Nikita won the first 3, Magnum won the next 3 and Nikita won the last one.

This particular match came from the 1986 Great American Bash video. If you do find the rest of the series, let me know. I wouldn't mind seeing them.

@veeseee128 Oddly enough, the bunch of them were all friends together in Minnesota. According to Animal's book, it was him, Hawk, Nikita, Scott Norton, Rick Rude and Barry Darsow (Krusher Khrushchev/Demolition Smash/Repo Man), with Warlord joining in later.
