I never actually saw the whole Ric Flair in WWF thing, so what ever happened to "The Real World Title"? I know the whole thing with the showing on TV and stuff but what eventually happened? Did he lose or it just stop bringing it up or what...

Flair still had the physical WCW Heavyweight Title because they didn't return his 25K deposit that they too from all the Champs at the time, so he took the belt to the WWF.
The WWF would blur it out so they wouldn't get sued, and Heenan refered to him as The Real World's Champion.
Eventually, he just had to hold up a Tag Title when WCW threatened to sue if they didn't get their title back.
Also, that is why WCW got that smaller, funky belt for a while, which they kept through that whole confusing WCW International Title and NWA Heavyweight Title phase in the mid-90's.

Plus, it didn't take Flair all that long to win the WWF Title, so he didn't need the other belt to "legitimize" himself.

I know what he did with the title. But I mean did he just stop bring out "the title" eventually and set his sights on the WWF title?

If I remember correctly, I thought that he did some promos saying that he deserved a title shot right away and that's what led to him interfering in the 'Taker/Hogan match at Survivor Series. |
