I could have seen Koloff taking the title off of Dusty after he beat Flair in Greensboro during the GAB 86 tour. A quick rematch with Rhodes could have set up a match with Flair at Starrcade with Flair as challenger. Rhodes could have done something to try and get Nikita to have Dusty at ringside to keep the Horsemen from interfering and Nikita refuse since he still doesn't trust Americans. Then at Starrcade, Nikita drops the title back to Flair and then joins Rhodes after realizing he was right.
So after Starrcade we still end with the same result, Koloff over as a face with Dusty, Flair walks out of Starrcade champion, except now Nikita has a short title reign under his belt to boost his credibility.
And Gertner, no I never bought Ronnie Garvin as a World Champion. Nikita, Windham, and alot of other people at the time could have been better people to walk into Starrcade as champion. Besides Garvin hit the cage ONCE and got pinned off of it. It was a horrible finish to a World title match during that time.
