NWA World Heavyweight Title: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair © vs. Sting (2/10/88)

Sting throws Flair around like a ragdoll early and it's fun watching this match as this was the setup to the big Clash match and set the template. Flair went to his type of match he would have against the Road Warriors and Sting was acting like a Road Warrior here with the power moves and no selling at times. Flair would take Sting to the floor and started working him over as we went to break. We come back from break and Flair is still working Sting over both inside and outside the ring even tearing down the security railing at one point. He was acting like a madman throwing Sting over the top rope but Sting immediately came back with a diving clothesline off the top rope and he was getting fired up as we went to yet another break. Sting is really taking it to Flair when we come back from break but misses a big splash and hits all knees. Sting would come back with a big cross body bock off the top rope on Flair but hit Tommy Young as well sending him to the floor. Sting then hit the Stinger Splash and got the Scorpion Deathlock but Dillon refused to let the other referee into the ring and posted him. Dillon then entered the ring himself trying to stop Sting then called out Arn but Luger & Windham held the moff at the pass as the the jobbers ran out trying to pull Sting off of Flair. This match ends in a DQ and even with the breaks it was a pretty good match with a great angle afterwards. I'll pass it on as a low-end nomination.
