i agree . Martel was a good wrestler. but remember this MARTEL made more money working for Vince in one year from salary and merch then all the years he worked for the nwa and awa. vince took great wrestlers and turned into cartoon characters but he made them very rich.
Martel definitely did NOT get the notoriety he should have for how good a wreslter he was....Vince and the WWF/E didn't have the sense enough to give him a major singles title for some odd reason
i'm drooooling... one of the best matches ever, easily.

This match could have been a main event in any decade in terms of quality.

I would love to see the entire Harley Race vs Superstar Billy Graham match from Florida! NWA vs WWWF back in 1978

Martel was a great wrestler, in the class of Finley and Regal. They were all turned into clownish cardboard characatures by McMann.

Great acting by Martel at 0:55 where he really looks to be both cautious & concerned that Flair will get the upper hand on him.

Martel was probally one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, what an all round performer.

Especially around that time, he was at his best as far as abilities and body shape.

He definitely gets my vote. He and Tony Garea are still my all time favorite tag team.
