Garvin gains the upper hand during the middle of the match as Flair begins to sell as only he could. Taz calls Flair one of the greatest heel sellers of all time. Eventually, Flair turns things around and begins to attack Garvin’s leg, weakening the limb for the eventual application of the Figure 4 leg lock. This is the type of in-ring psychology that Taz loves, and these two guys were at the top of their game during this match.
Dusty Rhodes does a run in toward the end of the match and immediately attacks Flair. The other three members of the Four Horsemen then run in to save Flair and they all turn the table on Rhodes. Garvin ran off as The Four Horsemen jumped all over Rhodes, attacking his leg.
Taz thought the match was terrific, even if it ended up being thrown out due to the run-ins. Flair ultimately defended his NWA Title and left the building with his Championship.
That sums up today’s episode of The Taz Show. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
