NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair vs Mike Graham - Championship Wrestling from Florida 2/20/82

 

Ric Flair looks like a giant compared to Mike Graham. This open up a great opportunity for Flair to bully his opponent. It is glorious. Wicked fun! Something different. Flair and Graham have some really good slugfests early and Flair takes a big bump off a Graham right. He comes back in and just picks up the little man and drops him throat first. You don't see Flair manhandle someone, but he manhandled Graham here. He misses an elbow drop giving Graham an opportunity to grab a sleeper. Flair gets his foot on the ropes so Graham slams down on it. Graham works the leg until Flair kicks him in the face. They slug it out again. Flair goes crashing over the top rope. He gets back in and they go blow for blow and the video ends! WTF! Great Japanese video quality. Really good. Someone hook me up with the full version. This has the potential of being ****+.

Here's the finish. Actually this looks like the entire Japanese 1 hour show, with an intro and everything. (Seems to be a no embedding allowed, though.)

This wasn't the best Flair title defense, but it looked like Florida was behind Graham and so this felt quite important (locally, at least). Flair brought some different elements, working on the challenger's throat after a sudden bump, but things were not very smooth when Graham was dictating the pace after his comeback: he worked on Flair's legs for a bit, but never consistently, then picked it right back up at the end for the non-finish. Even Flair getting coloured seemed too much, this was a pretty good match after all, but it seemed like they were trying hard to have an epic one
