Part 2 of 4. The first and only appearance of Ric Flair in the Memphis studios leads to a NWA World Heavyweight title match versus Jerry Lawler to the delight of Memphis Wrestling fans.
"The Hustle"
Just as Ric Flair is about to begin a scheduled match with Rick McCord, Jerry Lawler calls the NWA champion back to the interview area for a quick and amiable greeting from the local King of Memphis Wrestling (as seen on TV).
But Lawler is masking his true intentions of course and, with a wink of an eye to the audience, he's doing exactly what we expect The King to do. Before we know it, Ric Flair is bamboozled by Lawler using a common pool hustler's trick. Flair's tremendous ego offers him little choice.
