- From a 1979 episode of NWA World Wide Wrestling from WRAL-TV Studios in Raleigh, NC. Rich Landrum is the host:
"Nature Boy" Ric Flair faces Nick DeCarlo. After the match, Flair roughs up referee Sonny Fargo and almost costs himself the victory.
It's funny that the announcer referred to him briefly as "Rambling" Ric. That was the original name that Ric wanted to use. "Rambling" Ric Rhodes (cuz he was a fan of Dusty) but Verne Gagne strongly suggested Ric Flair was a better heel name, and Ric reluctantly agreed. Crisis averted!
Ric Flair 270LBS? NO WAY!
The announcer really gave their astrological signs hahahaha

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nick DeCarlo is victimized by tactics of verbal intimidation which played part in his loss to Ric Flair in this contest
Commentator sounds like he's reading their tinder profiles
@mastermold2011 That's Rich Landrum. He did like to work that stuff in. I was a big fan of his interviewing style, he interacted with the wrestlers rather than just holding the mic. He was quite an announcer and was also the ring announcer for matches in Richmond, VA.
Now that's real wrestling! Wooooooooo!!
Good match..I liked watching flair at this stage of his career..
LOL the announcer said flair was 6'1 275 lbs LOL flair definitely isn't 275 lbs not even close he looks more like 170-200 lbs Batista in WWE was 275 he looked 275 it's not impressive when you try to make a wrestler sound more impressive by saying 6'1 275 lbs his legs are toothpicks and his upper body is small definitely not 275lbs..
that is one small ring.
How is Ric Flair 30 in this video but still look 50 in the face and body?
I remember this match on a Saturday hot summer night in Virginia watch this with my family
@mastermold2011 Hobbies include horseback riding, motorcycling... his sign is Scorpio, and his favorite hold is The Italian Crab. lol.
Remember that one Monty Python sketch? "Hobbies include strangling animals, golf and masturbating."
Did the commentar say Ric was 270lbs not at this point in his career
He originally wanted to be portrayed as Dusty's younger brother, but as you posted, Verne Gagne suggested otherwise and the rest is history.
Any matches of Ric Flair in the AWA on TH-cam when he was heavier with brown hair besides the match with Chris Taylor?
The Prophet of Rage As I understand it, Verne had such a wealth of talent in and around 1973 that he really had no room for Flair on his roster. As a result, he sent Flair semi-regularly to work in the IWE in Japan, where he worked his first main events, including in cage matches. I would much rather see those matches, plus I would figure that they're much more likely to still exist.
Here you see it folks this is the wiggly wham worm wiggle after effects. This man was beyond repair and in need of immediate psychotropic stimulants to get back to normal. @ 9:12
He also enjoys long moonlite walks on the beach & getting caught in the rain.
Horoscope signs LOL so '70s cheesy.
Lfdjake91 I thought it was pina coladas that went along with getting caught in the rain. At least according to a song that was all over the radio that same year.
What kind of announcing is this! Listing favorite foods and astrological signs.
He just delivering the profile each wrestler on the program so the fans get to know the details on each wrestler.
Must be reading it from a wrestling magazine or something.
I have a 11 year old friend named Nick Decarlo
IIRC in his 1976 MSG appearance, Flair won with a vertical suplex.
Wow, there's Roughhouse Fargo!
Nick DeCarlo was a long time midcarder in Toronto's Maple Leaf Wrestling promotion, which MACW then had a co-promotional deal with. DeCarlo must have been brought down to NC for their TV.
Nick worked Crockett prelims for years. He was a JCP regular.
Ric should have been fined for assaulting the ref!
8:10 to 9:30...Ric submitting DeCarlo in the fig-4 (while "jacking" with DeCarlos's foot and "edging" a bit tooooo far with it) and then roughly "enjoying" the excited, stimulating sensations AS he "finishes" by mounting DeCarlo in a choking schoolboy pin... STILL hyped up by the itchy-tingling spasms happening in his trunks, he starts to roughly shove the ref around, letting him know "back off buddy, I ain't DONE with him yet!!!" Then goes back to punishing DeCarlo to enjoy humiliating the loser some more, until the "itchin-tingles" start subsiding....I wonder if Ric has watched this in private?...on loop...
4:13....look at DeCarlo smiling, foot on Ric's hand, and two fistfuls of Ric's hair and making him look at his bulge....DeCarlo was "feelin it" soooo good right there at that moment...
Nicks my Uncle so weird to see him wrestling in these videos. We use to go see him wrestle at tge Hamilton forum I remember so long ago. He's old now but we talk almost daily still.
Sucks getting old though 😂
I saw these two wrestle in 78 at the Brantford civic Centre in Ontario with the same finish.
