Flair interferes to a big beatdown. Fun stuff.

"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert vs. Barry Windham (1/4/89)

This is a special challenge match and it starts different from the last one as Gilbert doesn't give a shit and slaps Windham right in the face. That set the tone of the match as both men traded offense in an extremely fun match as these guys worked extremely well together. Flair would show up at ringside as Gilbert continues to give Windham everything he can give him. Windham can't get an extended advantage because Gilbert is pesky as hell and won't quit. Windham gets overconfident again and hits a Superplex but he wastes time and doesn't go for the pin as he wants to punish Gilbert more. Gilbert locks on the Figure-Four right in front of Flair and after the hold gets broken, Flair gets so pissed that he runs in the ring and they double-team Gilbert leaving him laying. Dillon comes out next and said that they don't have time for Gilbert and they are getting rid of him like they did Dusty Rhodes & Bam Bam Bigelow. This was a very strong match and a easy nomination.
