[1985-11-16-NWA-World Championship Wrestling] Ric Flair & Arn & Ole Anderson vs Terry Taylor & Ron Garvin & Pez Whatley

[KB8]

Super energetic six-man tag. It got lots of time and everyone was working a hundred miles an hour, but it didn't feel messy, we got two strong extended heat segments on a babyface, and the speed they were working at gave lots of it a sense of desperation. When Taylor tried to make that hot tag you knew Flair or Arn were going to have to get over there quickly to cut him off, or Ole would really have to trap his leg so he couldn't crawl away. The Flair opponent putting Flair in the figure-four moment also worked as a great hope spot here. Taylor could've and probably should've made the tag, but the opportunity was too good to pass up even if ultimately it cost him. Flair was a pretty awesome cheapshotting bastard, getting his licks in from the apron and dragging Taylor out to slam him on the floor. He and Garvin lit each other up more than once and I loved Garvin headbutting him clean in the face. Flair really made that finish work by holding Whatley's feet down as well. A simple trip from someone standing on the floor shouldn't really be enough to put a guy out, but it's way more difficult to kick out when Arn is pinning down your shoulders while Flair has a hold of your legs.

Ric Flair & Andersons vs Ron Garvin, Terry Taylor & Pez Whatley - World Championship Wrestling 11/16/85

I could watch Flair and Garvin light each other up everyday all day. The Horsemen had attacked Dusty and injured him so I think they are a thing. Not sure if Arn has cut the promo naming them yet.

Typical Crockett match they work a hundred miles per hour but they make it work because everything is intense and snug. Whatley is in the match to take the pin but he gets a nice shine getting the Andersons off balance. Flair and Garvin fire fight ends in a  back drop God I love them together. Their second fire fight ends with a Garvin Headbutt. Electric. Flair trips Garvin. Great rapid fire heat segment from the Horsemen. Taylor gets a nice hot tag. I love the Taylor/Flair series from earlier in the year in Mid-South but here Taylor feels like a midcard. Clear they are grooming Garvin for a run for the title. Flair Misses the knee Taylor Figure-4 fun spot. Whatley im so you know the end is near. Weak finish Flair trips Whatley and holds his leg down for the win. I love cheating but it was just anti-climatic. 
 

Fun TV 6-Man proof You can work fast but still work snug and intense. *** 1/2
