Going for the seven-time heavyweight champion of the world Handsome/King Harley Race.
Would have Funk faced Race? King Vs. King dynamic makes this match-up perfect. |

Abstaining this round. These guys are both incredible and legends in their own right. Both have numerous, albeit different, accomplishments. Too tough to call this one for me.

Any close match-ups will go to Lawler because the Kaufman feud is just one of my favorite things ever.
Also, I think Lawler was a little more versatile than Race. |

I can't remember consciously abstaining, but I think I'll have to as well.

Top 5 definitely. #1, I don't know. I'd have to think about it. I'm blanking on what could compete with it right now.

Harley was a 70's spot fest guy. He'd just destroy you with one big move after another.

I think it was the most watched wrestling match ever if I'm not mistaken. Not saying it's number one, but it's up there.

Not what i mean in this instance though. Thats def a succesful angle but i mean lawler v Kaufman was water cooler convos for non fans. Even if they never watched a match anywhere ever. The cultural awareness was so high for this.

Jerry Lawler. Harley managed Lex Luger in WCW and we all know he is a no good murderer.

The Cyndi Lauper/Wendy Richter vs Moolah/Albano was a gigantic angle.

Rock 'n' Wrestling is up there. I think I'd still put Lawler/Kaufman above it though.

Leno and DDP got a lot of mainstream attention at the time for obvious reasons. It was forgotten as soon as it was over though. Doesn't belong in the conversation with Kaufman and Lawler when it comes to fame.

Kaufman and Lawler has stood the test of time easilyt better than any save maybe Austin v McMahon. But i think peaks count for a lot in this convo...

This is a tough one, Harley Race a tough bastard and had a reputation as someone who could keep the championship safe when moving through territories. i still want to go with Lawler if for no other reason than giving us Jimmy Hart but I better think on this one

Harley Race mainly because of his promo abilities and being up there with Flair in regards to NWA legend tier status.
Like with most pre-Hulkamania Era guys, seen very little of his work but feel comfortable enough to give him the nod over Lawler in terms of promo skills and as an overall package. |

Think with Race, most of my awareness about him came from reading about the inspirations for Triple H's Reign of Terror and reading up about Race over the years.
Like with Dusty, watched a bunch of his promos and realized quickly how great he was on the mic. |

I went with Lawler....I'm more familiar. Race is deservedly a legend, but Lawler has had more (IMO) memorable feuds.
