Al Posted June 18, 2005 Report Posted June 18, 2005 Did any of these matches ever occur? Lou Thesz vs. El Santo Ric Flair vs. Giant Baba Ric Flair vs. Steve Austin
Al Posted June 18, 2005 Author Report Posted June 18, 2005 I did find the Raw match between Austin and Flair from June 3, 2002.
Loss Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 I believe Flair faced Baba in his first tour of Japan as the world champion in October of 1981, and the match made TV, but not Classics years later. That may be incorrect, but I believe Herb Kunze had a listing for it at one point.
Coffey Posted June 19, 2005 Report Posted June 19, 2005 Is that Austin/Flair match the one where it was a "pure wrestling match" that said punches were against the rules? So, they just chopped the whole time.
