I was at the the Meadowlands that night. A typical Race-Flair(which is a very good thing). The entire card was good. Pro Wrestling USA was a good idea in theory to battle McScumbag but everyone wanted to be boss and get their guys over. When that happened it was doomed to failure.
This was when Flair was pretty much a tweener in terms of his in ring persona. He would wrestle as a heel in most of the NWA territories outside of Mid Atlantic and in Mid Atlantic he wrestled more as a face taking on both heels and faces. In fact, during this period he was feuding with Wahoo, who was a heel, and Tully Blanchard.
Without Question you have to respect Mr Referee Lecturing n warning Mr Race of Thee Illegal outside of the Ring n Rope Shenanigans he is committing. 😮😮😮😮
This match occurred when the New York State Athletic Commission had control of wrestling and made it mandatory for all wrestling to use the commissions referees. Thats why a ref familiar to WWF fans (Dick Kroll) is refereeing. A fee had to be paid to use a commission doctor, deputy commissioner, time keeper at the bell, licenses, and referees at the time.
Yes he did...that is referee Dick Kroll. He was a longtime referee in New York and Pennsylvania. He was indeed the referee for JYD/Valentine and the Womens Championship Match at WrestleMania I.
That ref was Dick Kroll. He worked MSG for decades when the State Athletic Commission still had jurisdiction as wrestling was considered "sport" rather than entertainment.
Two pro legends going at it. Great old school stuff. Thanks for posting.

He worked heel in All Japan. I think at this time the bounty angle took place between Flair and Harley
Great chemistry love watching this matchup
I like that handle: “ tell ‘em Hawk!”
Woooooo !!
Race was a chain smoker and Flair was drunk 24/7. AMAZING that these guys could go this long!
長期王者を作り出そうとしたＮＷＡの策略にハマってしまっていた「ミスター・プロレス」ハーリー・レイス選手。
I was there!!!! Still have the stub!

Last great year?I don't think so...flair vs steamboat in 89....that was the last great year
love harleys uppercuts he was using on flair.
lol wow look at those old Japanese commercials. VERY cool.
Flair wrestled Wahoo earlier that day in Charlotte Talk about earning your money Those are two tough SOBs
Gotta Love them there Nipponese TV Commercials
harley didnt show alot of flash or pizzaz he just beat the mess out of ya
He didn't have to he let his fists and headbutt do the talking.
He opened a can of whoop ass!
I never noticed how much noise harley race made 🤣🤣🤣 . Mick Foley sounds just like him pretty funny now.
When wrestling was wrestling and not a tumbling exhibition.
Great match between 2 legends.
This match was a Classic!
Much better than the wwe crap we are stuck with today
One month before WrestleMania began!
Do you have the complete show? Great stuff!!!

Those uppercuts from Race looked pretty stiff.
dhmig88 probably were lol
Harley handing out headbutts left and right and press slamming the nature boy. Nature boy doesn't give up that easy he fights back in return.
意外にもハーリーレイスとジャイアント馬場はフライングヘッドシザースが上手い。
Flair better show Some Color or else...Oh wait..nevermind
Wow a great match.
I wonder if Askua was there? Or Shinska Nakamura?
Harley was the best.
リックフレアーというレスラーは、リングに上がる時の入場曲は、ハーリーレイスの入場曲と同じことを私の世代の筋金入りのファンなら誰でも知っていることと思います。この2人は、敵同士で、仲悪く全盛期の頃、口を聞かない程でした。しかし相方歳とってフレアーが、チャンピオンでなくなった時、お互い歩み寄って、仲良い間柄になったこと知っている人何人いるでしょうかね！レイスはレスラーとしては、フレアーの先輩ですが、(チャンピオンは、常に勝ち続けないといけない。）とフレアーが王者になった時、敵である相手にそういうアドバイスしたそうです。レイスはフレアーを認めていたのが、よくわかります。レスラー同士の関係の凄さをファンながら教えらレました。
Good stuff, what year was this
1985
1983
2.25.1985. One day before Ric's 36 birthday.
BSの7chでも放送すれば。
It was a screw job race shoulders head just hit the net and Dick Kroll had the one count on LOL
Did Ric Flair ever wrestle Antonio Inoki
Yes. They had their only match ever in April of 1995 in North Korea. It was a an average match at best.
Inoki won by pinfall after a kick to the head
@@travismcdonald6576 they didn't have the best nor the worst chemistry together
🇯🇵🗾🎉
Didn't that ref work WrestleMania I a few weeks later? Pretty sure he was the ref for JYD-Valentine...
