* HonorBeforeReason: Towards the end of the infamous 1982 steel cage match between Kerry Von Erich and NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, Kerry had worn down Flair with the Iron Claw, only for Flair to get a rope break. Michael Hayes of the Fabulous Freebirds, working the match as a guest referee, floored Flair with a punch and tried to get Kerry to pin him and take the win. Kerry, being the virtuous babyface that he was, refused to win that way. This would cost him the match, as Hayes would leave the cage, and when Kerry tried to follow him, Terry Gordy slammed the door on his head, screwing Kerry out of the title and setting off the legendary Von Erich-Freebirds feud.
