Rants

The Hogan/Flair/Savage triumvirate

By Scott Keith on September 21, 2019

In yesterday’s Hidden Gems rant you mentioned the commentators bringing up the ridiculous notion of Kerry Von Erich beating all three of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and Ric Flair, but that got me to thinking: Who does have pinfl or submission victories over all three? There’s a couple I can think of with at least two but a stretch to say all three.
Oooh, that’s a tricky one. I wanna say Austin Idol is our best shot, because I could find a record of him beating a young Terry Boulder for a title and probably beat him later on when he was Hulk Hogan, and obviously he would have met and beaten Randy Savage in Memphis at various points. And I’m pretty sure he beat Ric Flair too. So I think he’s our winner!
Edit: A quick bit of research reveals that Luger beat Flair at house shows in April of 89, so along with his wins over Hogan and Savage, we can add him to the list, too.
