On this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show, I cover the entire story of Ric Flair quitting WCW to jump to WWF in 1991 while still WCW/NWA World Champion.
A few questions that are answered:
- Karl discusses what the NWA was during that time.
- Could Flair have jumped as still NWA World Champion and not WCW World Champion?
- Why we really didn’t get Hulk Hogan vs. Flair at WrestleMania VIII. Actual quicksand and plexiglass mazes are part of the story (I’m not even kidding).
- How WCW got the big gold belt back, the 1992 Royal Rumble, and more.
This show has everything you could possibly want to know as I go week-to-week through the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to fill in the details and what narratives have changed over time.
