Posted August 30, 200718 yr comment_5421296 Obviously there are better Flair v. Reed matches, but I am going to nominate this, as this is a really great Flair TV match, worked at a sprint pace, both guys just throw everything at each other, the post match angle with Slater is pretty awesome too.
September 24, 200718 yr comment_5422189 “Nature Boy” Ric Flair vs. “Hacksaw” Butch Reed (11/6/85) Reed announces that he has bought out Perez’s contract with Flair calling Reed a monkey. This is a fight from the start as Reed gives Flair everything he has but Flair hangs with him and would eventually get the advantage due to Reed’s bad knee. This becomes a TV version of their house show match with everything happening faster and Reed gets the pin with a flying shoulderblock. Slater jumps Reed after the match and they give him a spike piledriver for his pleasure along with a couple of neck snaps. This was a great TV match and a nomination for sure with the angle as the cherry on the sundae.
