I would guess Lennon is in because he was a California guy and Dave probably grew up watching him on TV. I wonder if anyone's ever asked Dave about Howard, I recall back when Fink was named for the WWE HOF, Dave was adamant about how despite WWE largely was doing it for laughs he deserved to be in since he was one of the best announcers ever.

Sounds about right. There are many accounts of those in power bullying the Fink to tears backstage.

Flair vs. Andre

Surely that match happened somewhere, even if it never made tape.

 

It was a PWI Runner Up for Match of the Year in 1976.

 

Here are pictures of it.

Love the images... I think Ill spend some time on that site strolling to see what else I can find.

I guess Blair was supposed to team with Jim Brunzell to face the Brain Busters at the Challenge taping.
