On this episode of What Happened When, the voice of our childhood Tony Schiavone and host Conrad Thompson take us back 40 years for a true NWA/Jim Crockett Promotions classic. A major shift is underway as the National Tag Team Championships are officially rebranded into the United States Tag Team Championships, with Jim Crockett Promotions devoting much of the program to hyping a one-night tournament at the Omni to crown the very first champions.

There's no shortage of action and intrigue elsewhere on the card. Wahoo McDaniel captures the National Heavyweight Championship by defeating Tully Blanchard at the Forum in Los Angeles. The Kansas Jayhawks confront Jim Cornette and Big Bubba, Ric Flair delivers a standout TV match against Mike Jackson, and the show closes with chaos as The Four Horsemen confront Dick Murdoch only for Dusty Rhodes and Magnum T.A. to hit the ring for a thrilling finish.

Fall is nearly here in 1986, and with it comes excitement, tension, and heartbreak. This is Jim Crockett Promotions in the '80s at its absolute finest—don't miss this nostalgic deep dive on What Happened When.
