Posted October 22, 200816 yr comment_5435329 NWA World Heavyweight Title: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair © vs. “Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich (12/25/84) Another solid match in their series with both men looking awesome especially Kerry who was at his best against Flair. Kerry even broke out a flying headscissors out of Kevin’s playbook that looked really good. The action was damn good here leading to Kerry hitting a suplex on Flair for an apparent win but Flair had his foot under the bottom rope so Flair would answer back with a pin attempt after a shoulderblock using the ropes to his favor but David Manning would catch him. Kerry would make his comeback eventually locking in the iron claw that Flair would get out of. Flair would get pissed and chunked Kerry over the top rope for the DQ to retain his title. Shitty finish to a tremendous match but the finish would tie into future angles so it made sense. Nick Roberts (Nicola’s dad) comes out and wants to consult with Manning after the match. Mark Lowrance would then interview them with Roberts announcing an immediate rematch in Texas with Flair losing his title if he gets DQed. Easy nomination.
November 14, 200816 yr comment_5435719 Ric Flair vs Kerry Von Erich - Reunion Arena Another good bout between the 2.Their are so many good to great bouts between the 2. I dug Kerry's flying head scissors. The drama with the claw was awesome. Kerry is a super athlete and plays to Flair's strengths. This goes forward.
January 1, 200916 yr comment_5436591 Maybe I'm getting jaded, but this didn't seem all that remarkable compared to their other matches. Solid enough bout, but I've seen too much more interesting stuff to really get strongly behind it. [Legends of WCCW Featuring 12/25/84 Star Wars]
June 4, 201015 yr comment_5451583 Again, I agree with SLL. Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich (12/25/84) - Ric is champ here. I think the problem isn't that I have seen too much Flair in World Class but that I have seen too much Flair in All Japan and Crockett and he has so many more matches that smoke this. The crowd heat was insane, the work was solid but what makes this match stand out? The restart where they didn’t count Kerry’s fall? The shitty finish? Once again, this is a case of Flair being touring champ guy and not world beater.
