Ric Flair - Legend Tape 1

 

This is a fantastic set put together by Shado Control that nicely chronicles the career of Ric Flair and all of his title wins and losses. This is one of the few times I'll use the pre-made match listing instead of my own, since it nicely captures the details. Video quality is good throughout.
