Ric Flair vs. Hawk 1/24/88

This is your Flair working musclehead guy. Flair though is a master of this. Early on we see Hawk destroying Flair with power moves. He begins to target the back of Flair. The work is basic, a a lot of times you just need basic. Flair of course is selling the back big. A thumb to the eye turns the tide. Flair takes Hawk outside and with some revenge spots works the back. Hawk makes a comeback and is hitting Flair with some high impact moves. Hawk goes for his jumping fist drop and misses. In the miss Hawk hurts the leg. Flair targets it and works it over to see him lock in the Figure 4. Eventually Hawk escapes and is selling the leg damage. We see a ref bump and the match kinda falls off the tracks. Hawk quits selling the leg, the ref seems out for hours, the work gets aimless, and the finish was lame.Still the first 75% I liked and enough for a nomination.
