Stumbled upon this little gem today, I hadn't ever known of this match before, and from the looks of it there's no existing footage of the match itself.

Wow.
Dropping him right next to Flair make's Backlund's blandness really obvious!

Title unification matches were done infrequently in the '70s and '80s. Race has fought WWE Champions Billy Graham & Bob Backlund and AWA Champion Nick Bockwinkle. Flair has fought AWA Champion Ric Martel. Flair vs Martel www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgjd5KKOZr8 |

By the time Ric Flair won his first NWA title, the WWWF had been renamed WWF, Ol Gordon didnt do his homework there lol.

Funny thing about 1 wrestling asking him about the match, you can tell Backlund remembers, he just wants to screw with the smarks watching it. He really is funny.

it's funny that flair was refering to himself as the "REAL" World's Champion even back then
