Great match, especially the last fifteen or so minutes, when everybody started to get super-pumped. I coulda lived without the constant time announcements, but I guess that's how the NWA rolled, so whatev. I'm also not a fan of ringside judges, especially when they come down to the last person who just can't decide on a winner. Did the NWA ever decide a big match based on judges' decision?
Also, I saw somebody a few weeks ago requested JoeBashi, so here's another request, if you have it: Savage/Steamboat, Mania 3. I haven't seen that match in ages and ages and ages. |

That's actually a great bit of foreshadowing. Later one of the Flair/Steamboat matches is decided by judges including a very special judge: Terry Funk. Afterwards he gets in the ring and issues a challenge to Flair. Flair declines, so Funk piledrives him through the judges table. This not only turned Flair face but lead to a GREAT I Quit match between the two at the New York Knockout Clash of the Champions. So basically one of the reasons the judges are there is so it wouldn't seem weird later, heh.
As for the time announcements, yeah, that's how the NWA rolled. They're such an important part (and booking excuse) of my childhood that when I'd wrestle matches with my Dad I would randomly declare "FIVE MINUTES REMAINING IN THE MATCH, FIIIVE MINUTES." The time announcements are famous for the oft-used finish of "face has heel beaten, here's the pinfall, one, two ding ding ding oh we ran out of time." The announcements helped you keep track of that time, so they didn't do it WWE style where Hebner just randomly stops counting and calls for the bell, and nobody knows what the hell is going on. And somehow Hebner has a mental clock that operates down to the second.

Awesome match the crowd is great and its nice that there was no pin attempt for the first 20 mins.
I sorta like the time announcement with no clock.
couple of questions
why is jj dillon (spelling?) in a cage?
where do i remember the kid juge from?
and was flair ever successful off the top turnbuckle? (that one at the end shouldnt count)
Flair biting his hand in the figure four was gold

I can answer one of those. Flair has been successful coming off the top rope plenty of times. As a matter of fact, he hit an elbow smash just last week.

Dillon was a notorious cheater, and even though the Horsemen were barred from ringside, Dillon couldn't be trusted. So, as they occasionally did to others like Paul Jones, they put him in a little cage and hoisted him up there so he couldn't interfere.
This trend was stopped later when the heel managers (Cornette mostly) started dropping things to his guys from the cage.

He's Fred Savage's older brother Wayne from "The Wonder Years," the best show in television history.

The reason why Flair always tries to come off the top rope, even after years of being thrown onto his side: He won his first World Title that way against Harley Race. He came off the top with a high cross body, Race stumbled backwards over his cohort, and Flair got the win. So now Flair goes for the move all the time.

That would of been a sight.
Whatever the case the guy is always great to watch.
