Ric Flair vs. Dusty Rhodes — Bunkhouse Match June 15, 1982 Pre-peak Crockett — pre-“Dusty booking era” in full swing and still in that formative phase where the Flair / Dusty dynamic was morphing from “regional money match” into the blueprint for the eventual NWA touring A-side. This is that early raw version of their feud before Starrcade, before the Bashes, before the “Dusty finish” became a noun — just two era-defining guys grinding a southern fight template into the TV territory system. #Ric
