WWE Hall of Famer Tully Blanchard took to his TullyVision podcast to talk about a number of topics, including quitting the NWA while he and Arn Anderson were still the World Tag Team Champions.
Blanchard said, “We actually quit the night before in Houston. I did. I didn’t talk to Arn about it, I went off and I told Dusty [Rhodes], ‘You want the belts tonight or tomorrow night? I’m done.”
On the cause of their dispute with the NWA over money:
“It was probably the fact that [Ted] Turner had just bought (Jim Crockett Promotions) and they were giving guaranteed contracts to people, and they didn’t give Arn and I a contract with guaranteed money and that was like a slap in the face when they were giving big money to other people that we were making stars out of and that’s just me speaking from the heart.”
