In one of the truly great matches involving a Japanese grappler on American soil, Ric Flair wrestling New Japan legend Tatsumi Fujinami proved that WCW's gamble in having a talent partnership with New Japan was a truly savvy move. Flair had lost his NWA title in March to Fujinami at a New Japan/WCW Supershow, and defended his WCW championship versus Fujinami's NWA championship in a "title unification" bout of sorts. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x9w4_superbrawl-i-1991-ric-flair-vs-tats_sport The result is a technical masterpiece, the skills that eventually showed Fujinami worthy of WWE Hall of Fame membership being placed on display.
