After the success of bash 85 and Starcade 85 Dusty Rhodes thought that instead of one show they would do a series of cards that were all PPV/closed circuit quality. Basically, almost every match had some storyline that had been started prior to the summer. Blanchard broke Garvin's hand so they had a best of taped fist match series, Magnum and Nikita had a best of 7 series for the vacant US Title, RnR Express battled the Andersons for the #1 contender spot for the tag title, Valient and Jones had been feuding forever and Cornette and the Midnight Xpress fought Baby Doll and various partners. Flair defended the title at every event, sorta.
