Posted February 25, 200817 yr comment_5428583 NWA World Heavyweight Title: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair © vs. Jerry “The King” Lawler (8/14/82) This whole thing from the promos, match, and aftermath makes this a surefire slam dunk nomination.
February 25, 200817 yr comment_5428584 Better copy on Memphis TV 8/14/82 (Louisville feed) Shouldn't it be 8/7 if 8/14 was the Louisville airdate? Also yes this is an easy pick, I've seen it enough times to say so with confidence though I'd like to rewatch it again soon.
February 25, 200817 yr comment_5428589 Ditto... the match itself was pretty great, probably on par with the Magnum TA TV draw. The angle and interviews surrounding it make it must-have.
February 25, 200817 yr Author comment_5428593 Matching up the TV to build to the arena cards it's 8/14.
March 4, 200817 yr comment_5428994 This is the big show with the classic Flair/Lawler confrontation. This was such an awesome angle. Lawler and Flair are both awesome in their roles. The match was a great studio match. The whole booking of this was incredible. It got over huge. The whole presentation and match is a slam dunk pick. I love Flair in the role of touring NWA champion. He's so good and getting himself, his opponents, angles, and the belt over. Lawler was amazing here. He outconned a conman.
July 13, 200817 yr comment_5432911 Yeah this was great, damn how many bounties did Flair set up in the 80's. Match was darn good but the whole package was amazing
