Match # 26: Jerry Lawler vs. Ric Flair (8/14/82) Prepare to call me a hypocrite. While I rated the Lawler vs Funk Empty Arena match low because I thought as a match it was average –but loved it as an angle – I have a feeling that this famous angle I’ve seen before will probably [...]

4.24.94 Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat (WCW) This is the match from WCW Saturday Night that’s been pimped way ahead of the Spring Stampede match on the new Flair DVD. I got lucky and found it shortly after watching the newer Flair DVD, which everyone needs to go out and buy. It’s awesome.

Match # 86: Jake Roberts vs. Ric Flair (11/24/85) Reason number 457 to love this set – unique match-ups you would never have seen growing up in the Northeast. Perhaps these two crossed pathes during Flair’s WWF run, but I don’t remember it off the top of my head if they did. This is an excellent [...]

Match # 83: Butch Reed vs. Ric Flair (11/8/85) I guess they scheduled another taping while Ric Flair was still in town, since this is listed as happening only 2 days after the last TV taping. It’s supposed to be a non-title match between Flair and journeyman Al Perez. Fascinating to see Jim Ross call the [...]

Match # 82: Ted DiBiase vs. Ric Flair (11/6/85) The most famous Mid South angle and turn and here it is. This link below will get you caught up on the details leading up to the match and the match itself, but it also ties in the rise of Butch Reed and the position of Dick [...]

Match # 78: Butch Reed vs. Ric Flair (10/11/85) A rematch of a match I did not enjoy – the broadway earlier in the set from the Super Dome. I guess this constitutes an open mind and a second chance. Plus, it’s in Houston with Paul Boesch commentary. Flair gets up for that stuff, and Reed [...]

Match # 71: Ric Flair vs. Butch Reed (8/10/85) Flair is the heel touring NWA champion, who has been a great guest star throughout this compilation. Butch Reed was a resident heel in Mid South before turning in a great angle detailed earlier in the set (it involves Buddy Landell, Skandor Akbar, and some detail [...]

Match # 64: Ric Flair vs Wahoo McDaniel (7/12/85) Flair and Wahoo take their great show on the road, most likely because Wahoo is a native of Texas and Flair is a famous guest star/touring champ there. This feud was also going on in the Mid Atlantic Territory, and it’s been “ordered back” to Houston according [...]

Match 58: Ric Flair vs Terry Taylor (6/1/85) We gots to do it one more time. This is the Super Dome match, built up through Taylor’s near wins a month ago when Flair came through mid South. I’d assume this will be an epic main event style match, and it may be the longest (37 [...]

Match # 55: Kerry Von Erich vs Ric Flair 5/4/85 I’m really getting use to the Flair formula match for World Champion touring, complete with booster pack to adjust and carry lesser opponents. This follows the same performance, it’s really just a question of rearranging spots here and there, or how much character driven ad libbing [...]

Match # 54: Ric Flair vs Terry Taylor 5/4/85 Odd, this match and the last are from the same event, but this one looks like it’s off a commercial DVD. Great quality video. Both Flair and Taylor look more intense and ready than the last match they had, but maybe that’s the video quality [...]

Match # 52: Kerry Von Erich vs Ric Flair 4/28/85 This would have been a little under a year and a half since the famous feud the two had in World Class led to the cage match at the end of 1983 that popped that territory. Flair comes out to no music, a spotlight, and [...]

Match # 51: Ric Flair vs Terry Taylor 4/28/85 The champ is in town tonight! Slick Ric makes his way to the Mid South Territory as the traveling NWA Champion. During the 80s Flair’s defenses in the territories produced perhaps more great matches and fondly remembered moments than his work in Crockett Promotions at [...]
