This is a handheld. It also has John Ayers as special referee. He looks like every high school football coach in the 80's and isn't very good. We start out with a Luger shine. He uses and assortment of power moves to remain in control. He misses a charge in the corner and now Flair goes to school. He starts by working over the back for a bit. Then it's time to start dissecting the leg. Luger makes a comeback and is doing a mediocre job still selling the leg. We get a little back and forth. It's all Luger and you can smell a title switch. Torture Rack by Luger!!!! Windham and JJ in for a DQ.

NWA World Heavyweight Title - SR: John Ayers: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair © vs. "Total Package" Lex Luger (9/10/88)

This is a really strong Flair/Luger house show match with all the bells and whistles you expect from these two and a very hot crowd to boot which always helped. The stretch run of the match was great as the fans honestly believed they were getting a title change until Dillon & Windham got involved. John Ayers even got a shot in on Windham which was cool. I dug this a lot and I think this should be on the set as a fairly solid nomination.
