WCCW Classic: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair vs. Kerry Von Erich at Parade of Champions, 1984 [Videos]

 

On May 6, 1984, Texas Stadium played host to one of the most emotional and unforgettable nights in wrestling history. Ric Flair, the traveling world champion and master of the spotlight, arrived at the Parade of Champions to defend the NWA World Heavyweight Title against Kerry Von Erich, just three months after the tragic passing of Kerry’s brother, David. This match continues to resonate with fans who lived through the era, as well as those discovering it for the first time.

Madison Square Garden has hosted countless legendary Intercontinental Championship battles, but some slipped through the cracks of history — and this one deserves another look. On November 30, 1991, Bret “Hitman” Hart arrived in New York City in the middle of a defining run as I.C. Champion. For fans of early-’90s WWF storytelling, this is a slice of Intercontinental title history that hits all the right notes.

This MSG event was historic for another reason: it was the night Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair met in the ring for the first time, a dream match fans had waited years to see. With that level of electricity in the building, Bret Hart and The Mountie stepped into a crowd already super-charged — and they delivered a worthy IC title battle of their own.
