I really enjoyed the card and i was interested in the Ric Flair -Tully Blanchard match. What happened did these guys have afalling out or something? Mostcards I have seen have them together so I like that Flair is alone.

I mentioned this elsewhere. Ted Dibiase brought the Four Horsemen into the LWF, and Arn & Ole Anderson won the American Tag Team Titles but then lost them and left the fed. Flair gradually turned face and left Dibiase, but Blanchard stayed, and Dibiase said Flair was an "ingrate" and was "disloyal." Blanchard was more than willing to carry out Dibiase's wishes when it came to attacking Flair, so I had to get it settled in the cage.

I think that's how it went.....
