Posted April 9, 200817 yr comment_5430565 Mid Atlantic 9/10/83 Gary Hart Interview Charlie Brown vs. Bill Howard - Squash Bob Orton Jr. vs. Terrible Link - This is Man Mountain Link and he sucks here too. Orton squashes him. Wahoo McDaniel & Rufus R Jones vs. Bill White & Ben Alexander - Squash Wahoo, Jones & Charlie Brown Interview Ric Flair vs. Harley Race - Race takes it to Flair early but each time he goes for a big punishing move (falling headbutt, big elbow drop), Flair moves out of the way. Flair briefly gains control but Harley regains it with a sweet clothesline that Flair sells like death. There were also some small touches I really got a kick out of like Flair’s boot to Harley’s head or Flair chopping Harley so hard he bounces off the ropes and falls to his knees or Flair’s elbow drop. The end interference sucked but the Orton piledriver on Flair makes up for it. I like this one so much more than the Starrcade match. I have a feeling the Starrcade match will be voted higher but this might be my favorite American Race match. Maybe someone can refresh my memory on the great American Race matches. Maybe it just happens that I am tired of seeing the Starrcade match on every DVD release. This was just point/counter-point and who could capitalize the most off the other guy’s mistakes. Awesome match and definite nomination. Better looking version on Lynch Vol. 3.
