This footage is from an episode of NBC's Friday Night Videos that DeVito and Michael Douglas co-hosted. Didn't weed through 250 comments, but if nobody's said that, there's your answer for those wondering why DeVito is seen at the beginning.

Flair wrote in his book that in Summer '86, he and Morton did something like 12 one-hour matches in 14 days and "it hardly felt like working." He felt that Morton could have gone solo and been Shawn Michaels before Shawn Michaels, but Morton was loyal to Gibson.

I think this is from the first World Championship Wrestling broadcast on TBS on 4/6/85, after Crockett got the time slot from McMahon. Flair, the last touring NWA champion, could not be at the studio for the taping because he was defending the belt in another territory, so this spot was recorded ...

I thought the Flair-Von Erich match was the main event. When the Adams-Garvin match came on afterward, I thought this was just the matches out of order, but the announcer says, "We've already seen Kerry Von Erich become the new world heavyweight champion."

Why on Earth would an NWA title switch ...

Thank you to whoever posted this. I have been wanting to see this match for a long time.

That said, what a disappointment. I thought Kevin was the best worker of the brothers, but he was sloppy with the claw here, and it looked like he and Flair got their signals crossed a lot. This was not a go...
