#1 WrestleWar 1989: Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat
This match was the ending of Flair’s famous trilogy with Ricky Steamboat. This bout is perhaps the greatest example of pure wrestling from old-school WWE. The match put Flair in the tag of legends of all time. Steamboat would represent “The Family Man” accompanied by his wife and son, while Flair opposed him as an immoral, “living ladies man".
No crazy actions or gimmicks were imitated by either of the superstars to draw the audience artificially. Flair and Steamboat were the foundation for which many people began their wrestling careers.
A 31-minute match of perfection ended with the victory of “The Man” over Ricky Steamboat, reclaiming the world championship, and becoming a fan favorite wrestler in the process.
