On this episode of Grilling JR, The Voice of Wrestling Jim Ross and host Conrad Thompson take us back to 1984 for an extremely rare treat. JR sits down to call a forgotten classic — Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat from the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey. While most fans point to their legendary 1989 trilogy, The Nature Boy himself has often said that some of his very best work with Steamboat happened years earlier.
