The Man, the Myth, the Legend Vol. 2: Lex Luger

#3 Clashing with greatness

Battle of the Belts was one of the NWA's major shows of the year, gathering together the best and the brightest of their territories for one super show.

At Battle of the Belts III, the main event saw Lex Luger challenge legendary Nature Boy Ric Flair for the NWA world heavyweight championship. Their brutal contest ended in a time limit draw, allowing Flair to retain the title, but for a man less than two years into his career to get a title shot was unheard of at the time. Luger proved that he was a marquee attraction on this night, even if he didn't win the belt off of Flair. Here's the entire show, including their epic contest.
