(1983.02.11) Ric Flair vs Bruiser Brody - NWA

On February 11, 1983, Ric Flair defended the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against the unpredictable Bruiser Brody in a highly intense and physical showdown.

This match was a clash of styles: Flair’s technical expertise and strategic pacing versus Brody’s wild, brawling aggression. Brody, known for his hard-hitting offense and disregard for rules, likely forced Flair to fight a more physical match than usual, pushing the champion to his limits.

Given Flair's status as "The Dirtiest Player in the Game," he likely targeted Brody’s legs to set up the Figure Four Leglock, while Brody relied on his sheer power, clubbing forearms, and big boots to dominate the Nature Boy.

With the NWA title on the line, it’s possible that the match ended in controversy, either through a count-out, disqualification, or outside interference—common tactics to keep the championship around Flair's waist while still protecting Brody’s monster reputation.
