We see old-fashioned wrestling promos from both of them, a great match, and a complete meltdown from Flair afterwards. Good stuff!

In the end, Nick was Southern Champion, AWA Champion and had the shot at Flair which he would take in a location other than Memphis, thus explaining Flair not returning until '85.

Of course, the imminent return in '85 would lead to this. Dundee has always been one of the under appreciated guys of that era.
