Posted January 16, 200817 yr comment_5427198 Tyree Pride vs. Ron Slinker - Pride wins quickly with a cross body. Tyree Pride Interview Kendall Windham vs. Rocky Iaukea - The Hart match was much better than this. No vote. Kendall Windham Interview Denny Brown vs. The White Ninja - White Ninja is Keiji Mutoh. Bill Alfonzo is the ref. Acceptable wrestling with nothing standing out. I hope there is better Florida out there because I am not feeling the Florida talent. Lex Luger vs. Jesse Barr - I kept falling asleep during this mach. I may have to revisit it but I am not giving it the nod now. Bruiser Brody vs. Wahoo McDaniel - Some restholds inside. Some brawling outside. Countout. Road Warriors & Mulligan Interview Road Warriors & Blackjack Mulligan vs. Kevin Sullivan, Mark Lewin, & Maya Singh - THis doesn't last long at all. Just a little longer than the Brody-Wahoo debacle. Ric Flair vs. Barry Windham - The first 15 minutes or so are controlled by Barry. It may just be me but this match is flying by as Barry is keeping things going at a faster pace than I am accustomed to in Flair matches. Flair takes control after Barry runs into the corner and meets a Flair low-blow and they go outside which ends up with Barry being busted open. Inside, Barry turns the tide and puts Flair in the Figure-4. There are 2 ways you can look at it... either a typical Flair spot for the opponent to use Flair's move on him or a nod to the 1st Battle of the Belts. The last 15 minutes are just great back and forth action where the momentum keeps shifting and there are about 6 or 7 points where you think... this match is over. THe biggest problem might be that people knew there was no chance in hell that Barry was going to win but this was Florida and maybe it was possible he got a KVE run with the belt. This is an easy nomination but the big question now is which Flair-Windham matchup is the best. I think I may enjoy this one more than the 1/20/87 match (which was hurt by commercial breaks) but not as much as the Crockett Cup match. I'll have to revisit these when the sets are made.
