I believe the only dude that has footage of this got it from a provider in Puerto Rico who converted the footage from his private original beta tapes. He spent a ridiculous amount of money on this extremely rare footage, and has at this time refused to put it up for copies in the form of bootlegs, but has said he will consider it in the future. He has released a makeshift trailer featuring some of the footage, but I can't find the original link, although I think this may be it:
There's also this:

From that short video clip, you can tell that Ric Flair was telling the truth about how rabid those fans were. Watch the reaction when Veneno wins. I could totally see how they would be concerned about a riot, especially if Flair had said things in a promo that they took as an insult.

I read about it in Ric Flair's book. Sounded like a crazy show/match.

Can someone explain the history herE? I never heard of this. From what was written in Flairs book, he was to drop the title to Veneno and regain it back a few days later. This was very common back in the NWA days as Flair did the same thing for Kerry Von Erich. Well during the rematch for Veneno to drop the title back the fans needless to say we're pretty crazy. Flair said he was scared for his life so he grabbed Veneno pulled him on top, told Veneno to pin him and yelled at the ref to make the 3 count. When it was final, Flair jumped up and left the building, got on the plain and flew back to the states. He refused to even be seen in the country with the NWA title for fear that he would be attacked. The NWA had Veneno send back the NWA title and i think the Dom. fans where told some BS story as why Veneno was no longer NWA champion |
