NWA Battle of the Belts II
Battle of the Belts II was the second Battle of the Belts professional wrestling supercard produced by Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF) under the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) banner. It took place on February 14, 1986 at the Eddie Graham Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida.
Seven professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. The main event was contested for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship as Ric Flair defended the title against Barry Windham. The match ended in a double count-out, resulting in Flair retaining the title. In other championship matches on the card, Lex Luger defeated Jesse Barr to win the NWA Florida Southern Heavyweight Championship, Denny Brown defeated The White Ninja by disqualification to retain the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, Kendall Windham defeated Prince Iaukea to retain the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship and Tyree Pride defeated Ron Slinker to retain the NWA Florida Bahamian Championship.
The main event match between Flair and Windham was critically acclaimed, receiving praise from various journalists including Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, who gave it a 5-star rating and awarded it as the Pro Wrestling Match of the Year for 1986.
Battle of the Belts kicked off with a match for the NWA Florida Bahamian Championship as Tyree Pride defended the title against Ron Slinker. Pride delivered a crossbody to Slinker for the win to retain the title.
Next, Kendall Windham defended the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship against Prince Iaukea. Iaukea missed a corner charge against Windham and Windham delivered a bulldog to Iaukea to retain the title.
In the following match, Denny Brown defended the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship against The White Ninja. Ninja delivered a back body drop to Brown over the top rope while Brown attempted to hit a Lou Thesz press. As a result, the referee disqualified Ninja as dumping an opponent over the top rope was considered an illegal move at the time. Due to that, Brown retained the title.
Next, Jesse Barr defended the NWA Florida Southern Heavyweight Championship against Lex Luger. Luger covered Barr for the pinfall after a lariat. Barr put his foot on the rope at one-count but Luger pulled his leg away and got the three-count to win the title. Following the match, Luger's manager Hiro Matsuda declared their intention of pursuing the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in a backstage interview with Buddy Colt.
It was followed by the first non-title match of the event, in which Wahoo McDaniel took on Bruiser Brody. The match was contested for a $20,000 bounty on McDaniel and Brody accepted the challenge. Both competitors brawled to the outside of the ring and the action continued in the ringside area, ending in a double count-out.
