Man, Harley Race was at his wit's end trying to deal with Ric Flair in the lead up to the first Starrcade. Ol' Naitch had him so flustered that he offered a $25,000 hit for anyone who might be able to rid the National Wrestling Alliance and wrestling in general of The Man before he could become The Man. I'd imagine if this played out today, Flair would have eliminated himself, taken the money, and paid off some bills with it, right? Low blow? Eh, I've never been one to reject low-hanging fruit. Either way, Race was a man possessed, and offering a bounty was, to me at least, the epitome of old school carny wrestling at its finest.
