[Loss]

Talk about it here.

This was a fine match, not a great main event but the crowd heavily supported it anyway. Flair sold Dusty's stuff quite well, even though they didn't always click perfectly and it almost looked like Dusty freestyled this more than Flair wanted him to. Usual good legwork from the Naitch, but it lacked the drama that a Starrcade main event should have, despite Dusty being consistent with his pain intolerance. I didn't care much for the Dusty finish in hindsight, even though the crowd did and it was quite surprising as a result
