You know, the thing is. Flair was always like that during his first to third NWA world title reigns except if he was angry ( kayfabe). It wasn't until 1985 when Crockett kept him from traveling and defend it from different regions is when Flair started doing all the over the time interviews on the regular basis while losing his low key side. I felt like, during his title runs from 1981 to 85, he held that belt with up most respect during those periods. After that, he started treating it like a joke.

ROH and NJPW have been swapping talent and doing shows together since 2014. Corgan's NWA has had a relationship with ROH, NJPW and CMLL; and their World Women's Champion will be facing AEW's Women's World Champion. It's almost like the territory days, except now these promotions are national/international.

I was 12 years old living in New Jersey. We had WWF wrestling but a year earlier we got cable TV and Georgia Championship Wrestling along with it. Vince McMahon never acknowledge the other promotions even way back in 82'. And McMahon never even mentioned this historic event was taking place. So that Saturday when I turned on TBS and saw Backlund on GCW I was amazed. I always felt that the WWF's and McMahon's silence made them look stupid and out of touch. But 1982 was a great year to be a wrestling fan. Mid-South had Ted DiBiase's heel turn. Florida saw the transformation of Kevin Sullivan. Memphis had Terry Funk vs Jerry Lawler. Mid-Atlantic saw Sgt. Slaughter win the U.S. Title from Wahoo McDaniel and the NWA world tag team tournament. Georgia had Flair vs Backlund, Rich vs Sawyer, and Roddy Piper joining Gordon Solie at the podium, plus the Piper vs Bob Armstrong feud. In NJ, the WWF ramped up the action with Blackjack Mulligan, Cowboy Bob Orton Jr., Adrian Adonis, and the return of Superstar Graham. Plus the Jimmy Snuka/Ray Stevens/Buddy Rogers/Lou Albano angle. And the AWA had the start of Hogan vs Bockwinkle. 1982 was truly a fantastic year for wrestling!!!!!!!!

I always liked the heels more than the "good guys" but even though Backlund was a goody two shoes I liked that he could legit take almost anyone at anytime. His matches against Don Muraco, Sgt. Slaughter, & Jimmy Snuka were the stuff of legends!

That was so rare...you never ever even heard both companies mention or recognize the other..I remember id watch both promotions every weekend and to see that this happened was awesome

Remember, WWWF was only 19 years old then as it's own promotion.

Never knew this took place. It was a great idea.

There is a distinct difference in Flair's demeanor and tone prior to this unification match. Flair took off the entertainer's robe. None of his usual antics are on display. He was much more intense and serious. I have no doubt that Flair entertained some concerns that Bob might shoot and was probably prepared in the event that he might. Of course, professionalism won the day and they made the best out of a difficult situation for the both of them.

It was the WWF when this promo took place in Georgia Championship Wrestling the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) was renamed to World Wrestling Federation in 1979 even though it was the WWF when it aired I think Georgia Championship Wrestling and a few other territories still referred it as the WWWF and not the WWF

I grew up on HBK vs HART I can see the same parallels between these two.

Bachlund was in the 90s. i didnt know he was at the top back then.

One of great title matches of all-time between two of the greatest champions of all-time!

Backlund's genius as a communicator was in the ring, against big bad foes. In that setting, you saw a passionate, determined and very skillful guy defending the people's belt against the forces of mayhem. He was anything but boring; his title defenses were exhilarating. In that context, the understated interview persona makes a little more sense. He rarely wrestled on tv during his reign, and we never saw highlights of the house shows. The WWF tv shows were excruciatingly dull. There was no Fort Hesterly Armory. If I hadn't persuaded my mother to take me to the Garden a few times, Backlund would've remained a mystery to me.

Backlund told Vince Sr that he would protect the title, and Backlund was a serious shoot-fighter and in a shoot he would have absolutely KILLED Flair and Flair knew it. Supposedly, there's no film of this match because Vince Sr was afraid of a double-cross and Jim Crockett was afraid that Backlund would shoot and destroy Flair and neither one wanted evidence in case it happened.

I was there in Atlanta at The Omni on July 4, 1982 and saw the match between Flair and Backlund. I had saw one other unification match; Race and Graham and that was great. However Flair and Backlund was kind of underwhelming. On paper it should have been a great match however and it is going to sound crazy it seem that they were both to me not willing to work with each other. The crowd was for Flair mostly and he should have played more of the face role and that thought had some validity because Ric had "hometown advantage"... Georgia was then NWA country. Backlund did do some great holds including a wheelbarrow tombstone piledriver variation that was impressive and he had phenomenal strength but he was the defacto "baby" when he should have been the "heel"; as he was throwing Flair around he had that smile of his and I heard for the first time the "Howdy Dowdy" chant from a few guys in the rows behind us. It didn't spread through out the Onmi but I was aware that the chant was popular "up North". Backlund even recently summed up his thoughts on the match when asked if he had any great memories of the "classic match"; he responded "No" and ended the interview.
