Al Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I had no idea there was footage of this title "switch." The only thing that ever comes out of Jack Veneno is that he once won the title from Flair. Is he a wrestler of any note, or just a one-time Dominican star? Can anyone shed some light on him in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've never understood how Flair can beat Von Erichs in Texas in 1983, but gets shaken beyond belief over some Dominicans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've never understood how Flair can beat Von Erichs in Texas in 1983, but gets shaken beyond belief over some Dominicans?In Texas the police were in on the trick. In the Dominican, they would point them at Roddy Piper for interfering. At least that's the story Dave Meltzer and Jim Cornette gave in a commentary on Wrestling Gold (Vol. 5). One question this answered for me though is whether it was a case of a wrestler shooting on Flair and the NWA covering it up. It wasn't.

Jingus Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 In Flair's book he repeated the story about the soldiers at ringside aiming their rifles at Piper to keep him from interfering, and said that even after the local hero won the match the crowd still swarmed the ring and rioted anyway.

jdw Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Flair was talking out of his ass. Fans celebrated rather than rioted. Probably all the blow that Piper and Ric were doing at the time making them paranoid and delusional. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jawhnb74 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 There was a thread going on at crazymax that a guy had the footage of the Flair match and he would not part with it. There was a link to some photos and info and here it is: http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/colu...lgiapop/09.html I am really hoping to see this footage someday.
