Hey guys, I've been looking around on youtube for a specific ric flair matchup. You're gonna hate me for this, but I don't remember his opponent. What I remember more than anything was the entrance way used a Scrolling laserlight show which had Ric's name misspelled as "Rick Flair."
If you guys could help me, I would be most appreciative.
Thank you
Brian~

His first NWA title win was shown on a graphic as 'Rick Flair'

They misspelled his name a lot back then.

When the Big Gold belt was first given to Flair on WTBS... the name plate said "Rick Flair"

Do you remember ANYTHING else about this match? Location? If it was a PPV?

The laser thing with his name spelled wrong was the 2 out of 3 falls match from Clash VI against Steamboat from New Orleans. It was broadcast on TBS.

Excellent match as well. Steamboat's double arm chicken wing on Flair is a thing of beauty.

I wonder - given the billions of "Dusty finishes" Flair was involved in - they never utilized this bit of typo.
"Hey Sting, you may have won that match last night, but they had you wrestling Rick Flair. My name is RIC. Contract is invalid, now I get to keep the belt."

Excellent match as well. Steamboat's double arm chicken wing on Flair is a thing of beauty. As is the double-bridge-up-into-a-backslide spot from that one. While it's in 9 out of 10 Flair matches, never has it looked as graceful as during this match. HBK and Flair tried it in their 'Mania match and couldn't pull it off and to me that was a symbolic moment (and a sad one as well) that indicated time had indeed finally caught up to The Nature Boy.
