Ric Flair vs. Wahoo McDaniel (1985/07/12)

Don't mind the graphics, this match took place on July 12th, 1985.

Wahoo was all man folks! These matches take me back to my childhood. It's a damn shame wrestling will never be nearly this good ever again.

[@robw5741]

It surly is a shame. Now they have weekly shows raw is 3hours this was the the Saturday night days. Tbs Saturday night still went on longer than Raw or smackdown

[@MoniqueFromPlymouth]

Note: The title belt Wahoo was wearing at the time of this match was the Florida version of the NWA U.S. tag team championship with Billy Jack Haynes. Wahoo and Billy Jack had won the belts 10 days earlier on July 2, 1985, in Tampa.

Thank you for uploading this feud. The feud of R.Flair vs W.Mcdaniel is comparable to the one of J.Brisco vs D.Funk jr.

[@romainlavoie1526]

What a move by Wahoo and the referee. Top Notch !!!

AGAIN WITHOUT A COMMENTATOR!

[@TNCOWBOY07]

This being in Houston is strange.

[@DustinBlythe]

Notice how that ring swayed? I wonder what it was like during a tag team or a six man tag match. Yeesh!

[@garygraham8201]

They do have a rematch on July 26th, 1985 in Houston, so that is probably why the graphic is wrong.

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

The rematch is available on commercial VHS tape

[@lloydsharpe7641]

Sometimes they say Mcdaniels sometimes McDaniel, which one was it?

[@jaylayahmurray1084]

It was McDaniel.

[@tapoutspec1]

No S

[@TNCOWBOY07]

Only Flair said McDanielS. I find it hilarious to this day.

[@jefferysteen1041]

[@andyraphael]

No wahoo was 278 the announcer made a mistake

Ric Flair isn't near as good as he thinks he is.
