Mid- Atlantic area during late 70s thru the 80s was the greatest roster of wrestlers of any era, any time. Some Flair didn't mention were Nikita and Ivan Koloff, Rock n roll express, Sgt Slaughter and his privates, Jimmy Valiant, Austin Idol, Ox Baker, The Anderson Brothers, Adrian Street, Joe Leduc, Kabuki, Midnight Express with Jim Cornette, Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo, Abdullah the Butcher, Manny Fernandez, Tully Blanchard, Magnum T. A. Superstar Graham, Buzz Tyler, Baron von Rashke, Paul, Orndorff, Jimmy Snuka, Angelo Mosca, Kevin Sullivan, Barbarian, Ernie Ladd, Jhon Studd, Ken Patera, Bobby Duncum, Bugsy McGraw, Thunderbolt Patterson, Eddie Gilbert and lots more.
I heard Ole Anderson say in an interview that Flair became champ because Ole was sick of him and agreed to let him to leave his territory. I am paraphrasing and Ole's memory is not what it used to be.
David Von Erich passing away changed the course of history in the nwa and wwf , had he lived hed have been nwa champ and sooner or later Vince wouldve brought him in to challenge Hogan in wwf , Magnum T.A. car accident also changed things hed have been nwa champ as well and gotten a run in wwf also.
The story is that he got in a close vote of the NWA board. Like by one vote. Crockett was obviously for him. Ole Anderson has said he was for him because he believed Flair worked better as an infrequent attraction than a weekly wrestler in the Carolinas at the time. St. Louis and the associated territories would have been for Ted. Florida would probably have gone with Flair. WCCW (Fritz Von Erich) considered whoever was made champion a transitional champion on the way to one of his sons getting it.

For all of Flair's bragging, he's truly a humble guy. A living legend.

Ric flair the 👑 jewel of pro wrestling
I’m glad to be following ric flair to this point in winter 2021 into 2020
Mark you are so great. You do not jump in you just listen. You stick the bait out there and he just tells it.
Ric played the politics better then any of them he was as tough in the ring as he was out of it.
I’m live in Kansas, no offense taken, we understand. But when you get old it’s really pretty good.
Thank you for sharing Ric.
