Retro Rasslin' Review

23. Ric Flair Goes to Memphis - Flair vs. Lawler


Listen Later

We're kicking off Ric Flair's birthday month (Flair-uary) with "The Nature Boy" in CWA! The Memphis territory wanted their biggest star, Jerry "The King" Lawler to be the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. However, Memphis' business relied on Lawler always being on the card and that wouldn't be possible if "The King" traveled as the champ. At this point, though, they were still trying to make Ric Flair and Jerry Lawler a hot feud. It didn't last long before real life bad blood seeped in. Hear about it all here as we go retro and take the time back to 1982!
