Ric Flair vs Harley Race in Toronto

In their battles over the NWA Heavyweight crown, they would thrill the fans from the ringside to the rafters at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. In this sequence the battle rages from the ring to the ramp and Race catches Flair with a piledriver after turning the tables on then NWA champ Flair, the last pic of the sequence shows Flair being restrained by Ron Richie and Johnny Weaver from going down the ramp after Race.

In the additional pics, a closer look at Race's suplex - on the ramp! Race would hold his opponent in that suplex for what seemed like an eternity before bringing him down. He would also perform his 'falling headbutt' on the famed ramp.

Pics taken at the Nov 15 1981 & Apr 25 1982 cards.
