This is a comprehensive review of the greatest wrestling trilogy of all time. We will hear no other contenders! In 1989, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair took on Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at 3 separate events: Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun, and WrestleWar '89: Music City Showdown. All 3 events kind of sucked and drew like crap. However, the one and only match from all 3 events that anyone was talking about (and is still talking about to this day) is Flair vs. Steamboat.

Dusty has long wanted to introduce Andrew to the NWA's 1989 offerings, and we are finally taking the plunge. Things were in a transitional (and sometimes tumultuous) phase following a few changes to WCW including the firing of Dusty Rhodes as booker, but they still had Flair, and they still offered a brand of wrestling that appealed to the classic fan: the characters were believable, the wrestling was believable, and Rick Steiner was in the building.

Kris Zellner & Dylan Hales welcome you to the second episode of our new podcast series, The Pay Windah, in which we go over the history of World Championship Wrestling. This time out, we go over the month of February 1989, where George Scott has fully taken over the promotion. Everything is being molded in his vision, but that is a major problem. We talk about the mistakes he made in signing talent, the total lack of build for the Clash of the Champions in Cleveland, the booking and layout of the matches both on the Clash and Chi-Town Rumble, as well as the debacles that were NWA house shows in that era. We also talk about Ric Flair & Ricky Steamboat, though, who are the true highlights of the promotion, but Steamboat is grating on some fans due to his portrayal on TV.

Jack Reynolds's awful announcer tryout, Steven Dane going 17 minutes for no apparent reason, Jack Victory wrestling twice for no apparent reason, most of the matches having no apparent reason for being booked, the beginning of the end of WCW's relationship with AJPW and Giant Baba, and much more.

Kris Zellner & Dylan Hales welcome you to the second episode of our new podcast series, The Pay Windah, in which we go over the history of World Championship Wrestling. This time out, we go over the month of February 1989, where George Scott has fully taken over the promotion. Everything is being molded in his vision, but that is a major problem. We talk about the mistakes he made in signing talent, the total lack of build for the Clash of the Champions in Cleveland, the booking and layout of the matches both on the Clash and Chi-Town Rumble, as well as the debacles that were NWA house shows in that era. We also talk about Ric Flair & Ricky Steamboat, though, who are the true highlights of the promotion, but Steamboat is grating on some fans due to his portrayal on TV.
