    And Flair vs Martel, Sleeze
  2. paul sosnowski

    Ricochet, AR Fox, Sami Callihan, Jason Cade and Dezmond Xavier vs Will Ospreay, Marty Scurll, Drew Galloway, Ryan Smile, and Lio Rush Highspots Wrestlecon Supershow, Friday 3/31/17 I had two friends who were there live saying it was the greatest match they had ever seen. Another one disliked it and called it a silly spotfest. I watched it yesterday. It was very entertaining, but I could have done without the dance competition in the middle of the match. Meltzer rated it 4 1/2****. I would have gone around 4. This match seems to have been overlooked from some people who reviewed the big shows last weekend. It definitely needs to be seen

    Watch the 10/6/81 match, please!!! More people need to see this

    Sleeze, I am telling you that you need to see Flair vs Tenryu from October 6, 1981!!! It was awesome. Flair's first title defense in Japan!!!

    This is the complete version https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4y5dam

    Looks like this is the complete version, clocking in at 26:02. The WWE Classics version (DVDVR AWA Set) has more than 6 1/2 minutes clipped. Great match, but a godawful terrible finish. I still can't go more than 4 1/4 ****

    Oh lord, I have cursed those missing seven minutes ever since I first saw this match over 20 years ago. I always hope that somehow this match will be made available in full on a Japanese DVD set or something or maybe AJPW On Demand nowadays. I never agreed with this being the WON MOTY for an incomplete match. But I'll keep waiting....the Kobashi and Kikuchi tag from 5/25/92 came out years ago in complete form, so perhaps there's still a chance....

    I HATE incomplete matches. It's supposed to go 14:48, there are 4 minutes clipped. But OMG, this was an insane bloody brawl. Loved it! 4**** easily, I just wish it was complete!!!

    I wish that this was not handheld footage. I wish that the 3 falls went more than 20 minutes. I feel that a major thing lacking during this match was that I couldn't see Terry Funk's amazing facial expressions and selling. I think there was double juice by the end, but I'm not entirely sure. I loved how Flair pounced on Terry unleashing the punches to the head at the start of the second fall. Make no mistake though....I REALLY liked this match, but I would have enjoyed it more if it was pro-shot. Definitely 4 stars

    Ric Flair's first defense of the NWA Title in Japan!!! This is absolutely a hidden gem, perhaps overlooked by the more famous Terry Funk and Jumbo matches the next few days. I just got a copy of this complete match after seeing the highlights. I have never seen Tenryu so young before, he was 31 at the time and Flair was 32. I'm not good at long detailed reviews, but you need to seek this out. It is longer than the Funk and Jumbo matches as well. I would rate it at least 4 1/4**** This is 9 minutes of highlights. The full match is more than 30 minutes. Available on All Japan Classics 9/5/05 "Flair vs. Tenryu"

    I don't think I have ever seen this match. Does anyone have a link for it? I can't find it online right now
  13. paul sosnowski
    I was looking for this match online and can't find it anywhere. Is there a link?

    I agree that it is Tulsa, but I say the date is 4/27. Flair defended against Terry Taylor on 4/28 in Oklahoma City. Some sites list this as a WCCW match, but I believe it must be Mid South. Any thoughts? Wait a second...is the 4/28 Taylor match actually 4/30 in Shreveport? World Class, Parade of Champions II - Irving, TX - Texas Stadium - 5/5/85 (26,153) NWA World Champion Ric Flair fought Kevin Von Erich to double count-out at 22:00 Mid South Wrestling, Jackson, MS - 5/4/85 NWA World Champion Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich Mid South Wrestling, Houston, TX - 5/3/85 NWA World Champion Ric Flair defeated Terry Taylor Mid South Wrestling, Shreveport, LA - 4/30/85 NWA World Champion Ric Flair defeated Terry Taylor Mid South Wrestling, Oklahoma City, OK - 4/28/85 NWA World Champion Ric Flair defeated Jake Roberts World Class, Tulsa, OK - 4/27/85 NWA World Champion Ric Flair pinned Kerry Von Erich

    You would think with all the resources and research available these days, that someone would have been able to figure out the date and the venue for this match, by now....
  16. paul sosnowski
    I have this match as going nine falls and lasting 23:34 Bigelow wins first fall 6:23. Bigelow second fall 8:01 Lawler third fall 9:39 Lawler fourth fall 10:50 Bigelow fifth fall 15:16 Bigelow sixth fall 18:53 Bigelow seventh fall 21:33 Eighth Fall-- Double knockdown, both men down past the 10 count... 22:20 Ninth Fall---- Sudden death, first man to his feet wins the match. Lawler wins 23:34

    If this is not clipped, I have the time of the match as 19:49. I can't make out what the timekeeper says, but it doesn't seem to match
  18. paul sosnowski
    Complete match 18:49
  19. paul sosnowski
    The date on this should be March 10, 1986. Complete match is 12:45
  20. paul sosnowski
    I couldn't stop smiling watching this. Complete match 18:42
  21. paul sosnowski
    This was shockingly excellent. Complete match shown, 23:14
  22. paul sosnowski
    You can watch the 6 man elimination tag from MSG 2/23/87 (Piper, JYD and Steamboat vs Race, Adonis, and Savage). Also the 5/15/87 singles match from Houston. 11/1/86 Boston and 11/8/86 Philly are pre-injury. They also faced each other twice in 85. Wrestling Classic 11/7, and 12/7/85 Boston

    I just watched this for the first time in many years. It was really great, but not the best WWE cage match ever. I have a problem rating a match so high that goes less than 10 minutes. Available on the Network, Vault, Home Video Classics, 1986. "Inside the Steel Cage". Starts at 24:00
  24. paul sosnowski
    I just watched the complete version of this match, not the same as Best of Coliseum Volume NIne.. It goes 19:06, which is probably their longest match available. Savage got posted halfway thru and bled a lot!! I'm not good at long reviews, but I would give this around 4**** 1/2 or better.
  25. paul sosnowski
    I also have a Savage-Steamboat match that aired on International Wrestling Challenge in Italy, taped on 1/27/87 in Ft Myers FL. The 1/10/87 Philly house show is online as well.
