@Chris @Sky as people who have dabbled in old Observer issues - have they ever covered the bag angle with Flair? Super curious what the vibe was back then and how people reacted to it then vs today
Which big angle with Flair? Him showing up to WWF with Big Gold?

Meltzer was very good friends with Funk though and thought he was a genius so definitely potential for bias too

Since the mid 80s at least, Meltzer was backstage bc of Funk for a lot of Japan and WCW shows
