Ric Flair vs. Rick Martel - NWA/AWA title unification match

In honour of Ric Flair's expected retirement following his Wrestlemania match today, here's some rare footage of a match that took place in Japan. It's NWA World champion Ric Flair versus AWA World champion Rick Martel to unify the titles.

I remember reading about this match in the Apter mags at the time, but it really did not get a lot of coverage - maybe a photo and a blurb in the news roundup section. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, it finally gets a broader audience.

The link below is to part 1 of the match. The remaining three parts are linked off my YouTube channel in the favorites section. Credit Sondog42 on YouTube for uploading this match.
