Throwback Match Reviews: Kerry Von Erich vs Ric Flair (AJPW) (05/24/1984)

Kerry Von Erich vs Ric Flair (AJPW) 05/24/1984

This was a pretty boring match. I found myself drifting off and going to my phone throughout the whole thing. It was two out of three falls for the NWA Heavyweight title... in Japan. The crowd likes both guys but they’re not fully behind either one. The action, especially in the first fall, was slow. It picked up later in the match, particularly in the last few minutes. There was nothing really to this match. I liked the way the first fall ended with Kerry using the claw to pin Flair. Flair won the second and third falls to win the match. This match was just here to get the title off of Kerry but not do it in Texas where the fans would probably riot.

Final Rating - **¾
