Family on Night One



A nice look back to September 17, 1981.

Featured in this photo are Jim Crockett, Jr., Dr. Richard Fliehr (Ric's Dad), former NWA champion Pat O'Conner, brand new NWA champion Ric Flair, and Ric's mother Kay Fliehr.

The caption accompanying the photo was incorrect on the date and the location. People often get the state wrong though. The title change took place in Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas, not Missouri. Memorial Hall was just west of the Missouri River which separates the two cities.
