Ric Flair vs Terry Taylor - Mid South 6/1/85 - ****3/4

Masterful performance by the Naitch.

Damn, Ownage, some of the non-WWE stuff you've been watching is awesome. This is another one I agree with (well, I think; I've seen 3 of their matches from Mid-South but I often get mixed up with the dates. All are around the ****1/4+ range, though).

Yeah, I've been trying to watch a lot of old non-WWE stuff recently. I think Glazer's top 50 list inspired me. I already knew how great Flair was but what I've seen of some of the other greats is embarrassingly limited.

I suggest you watch Jushin Liger. As much of him as you can find.

**McQueen** · 09-24-2008, 03:37 AM

And Terrance and Dorrance Funk Jr. as a tag team.

And Jumbo

I honestly don't think I've ever heard Dory referred to as 'Dorrance' before.

But yeah, watch as much of them as you can too.

Well that is his legal name...

We could compromise and call him Dunk? Speaking of which, Dunk & Funk vs. Doink & Dink would have been a ***** dream match if it had ever happened.

**GOD of CUNT** · 09-24-2008, 03:57 AM

Oh I know, I've just legit never heard anyone call him that. It amused me

A match I would've loved to have seen is Terry v Bill Dundee. Having seen pretty much noting of Dundee, he's all over that Memphis set I bought, and man, the guy's friggin awesome.

**McQueen** · 09-24-2008, 04:03 AM

I think I need to get that memphis set now. Dammit Andy!

**GOD of CUNT** · 09-24-2008, 04:15 AM

Seriously, do!

It's the only wrestling I've bought in a couple months (basically) since I'm in debt (fuck loans, seriously), but it's totally worth it.

There's 3 AWESOME discs full of extras, and the entire Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler feud is documented. That shit was fucking golden.

Kaufman threatening to sue Lawler, only for Lawler to challenge him to a wrestling match, which leads to Andy using a rather large woman (321 lbs, btw) as a demonstration for what he's going to do to Lawler by wrestling her to the ground and literally bashing her freakin' skull on a tiny mat (this demo's happening next to Andy's swimming pool in his luxury LA home) is just crazy good fun.

Andy's lawyer gets all worried and shit and gives the whole "Christ Andy, she's going to sue; I think you really hurt her", but Andy doesn't give a rat's ass and says "What? She can't sue me, she's too poor" before stomping the shit out of her! The lawyer covering the camera with his jacket while trying to keep Andy back is fucking awesome, yet a little disturbing at the same time.

Amazingly entertaining stuff.

And that's only an eighth of the awesomeness on the FIRST disc of extras.
