Posted December 14, 200717 yr comment_5425220 Ric Flair vs. Ole Anderson (Indian Strap Match) (21:11) - Both guys are pretty reserved in the early part with Flair trying to get Ole on the ground and Ole grabbing onto Flair's arm. It picks up midway through with more brawling and incorporating the strap into the match. This started off slow but the 2nd half makes this a keeper. Nomination. (Lynch Mid Atlantic #6)

Flair kicks up the aggression by firing shots at Ole then using the strap to bring him back for more punishment and now it's getting good. Ole is the first one to go for the corners but he misses at 3 and Flair goes nuts on him hitting him with fists, elbows, & forearms. After some more strap play, Flair would get the figure-four getting the crowd going big and then he started swinging the strap weakening Ole to the point where he drug him around the ring to all the corners but again Ole found a way to survive. Ole would climb up top and Flair pulled him off which was always a great spot in the match before he started touching the corners and before he got to the 4th one, Ivan ran out to attack him but it backfired as Flair would get the corner anyway. Wahoo would run out to save Flair from the double-team. Very fun match and this moves forward fairly easily.
July 16, 201411 yr comment_5612964 A solid Nomination. This starts out slow which makes sense because with a strap involved it should be more chess like. This was really hard hitting with both guys laying in the shots. The teases of hitting the corners had the crowd molten. Ivan Koloff comes in to help Ole', but Flair still gets the duke. They built a foundation and built the crowd up.
