On this edition of the .5 episode of Hands of Z, Keith and Shawn look at two of the “Buddys” and a lot of “Nature Boys” of wrestling.
Up first the boys watch an 2/3 falls NWA World Title Match from June 30th, 1961 between Champion Pat O’Connor and “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers in front of 38,000 people in Chicago! It’s in color and historic for several reasons!
From there they go to an episode of NWA Power Hour from 11/24/1990 where “Nature Boy” Buddy Landell faces “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. This one also has a hell of a backstory…that took place 5 years before this match, which is 1 year less than the amount of minutes this match got.
This is a good one full of history and background on both matches so give it a listen!
