Nick Bockwinkel vs. Ric Flair

I've been looking for a video of this match for years. This is the only meeting between these two men in the ring. It was for Flair's NWA title, and it took place in Winnipeg on a Pro Wrestling USA card (a joint promotion of the AWA and NWA during the time they were trying to stave off the WWF expansion). I was fortunate enough to be in the audience that night for this match, which ended in a double count-out at about 25 minutes. The YouTube clip isn't the entire match, but it's all that's around.

Dave Meltzer and Mike Tenay mark out!

This screen-cap picture has been floating around the Internet for a few weeks. It's TNA Wrestling announcer Mike Tenay and Wrestling Observer writer Dave Meltzer marking out at an AWA show back in the 1980s.
