Episode 17: A Flair for the Road

Episode 17: A Flair for the Road In Episode 17 of Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk, Greg:Looks at Ric Flair's 1985 NWA World title defenses, including (of course) at the Sam Houston Coliseum. Talks about how the dying territory system would make 1985 or 1986 the last year of the touring world champion. Looks at Flair's Texas and Mid South schedule in 1984 and 1986 and wonders why he did not make defenses in Houston those years. Talks about Ole Anderson's comment that there were only two NWA champions who really liked the job and the road. Listens to the origins of the Ric Flair-Wahoo McDaniel feud, courtesy of www.midatlanticgateway.com and wonders how to measure a feud that lasts years, not weeks. The audio is choppy, but apparently on my end, so please go to www.midatlanticgateway.com/2022/03/flair-wahoo-origins.html to learn and hear more. Greg Klein's Old School Rasslin Talk is sponsored by Greg and his work.
