Does anyone have any information, other than that interview (possibly in kayfabe) when Thesz said in respect to Flair-Steamboat Wrestlewar match:
"Both of them are great athletes, both of them are damn good wrestlers and great all around athletes and I'm very good friends with both of them and I admire both of them a lot."

Or guesses?

I've never heard of any heat between them so I wouldn't be surprised if that one quote you have are his real feelings.

Just working answers.

Real Lou Thesz would've buried them for their lack of shooting skills.
