Episode 68 - Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair, Clash VI - April 2, 1989

The best place to end a trilogy is in the middle. The man behind No Context Flair, Jack Milner, jumps in at the last moment to help Kieran and Mark talk Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair from Clash of the Champions VI, on April 2, 1989. An excellent match that famously drew very poorly, for reasons we shall discuss. PLUS: other wrestlers bereft of context, “the wilderness years”, Preston, “the big cage”, Steamboat vs. Misawa, Rick Steamboat: Microphone Master, the Manager of Dunder-Mifflin’s Yokohama regional office, house shows, Gary Hart and the complete shitshow of Great Muta’s debut, Snake Brown, Shane Douglas, Kieran doesn’t know real sports, Terry Funk, Tommy Young, a bear head and the Two-Count Count.
