Supreme Championship Wrestling

35 years ago tonight in East Rutherford, New Jersey, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair defeated Sting to capture the NWA World Title for a 7th time!

This reign would take on added historical weight: during this run, Flair was officially recognized as the first WCW World Champion. He held the title until departing for the WWF in July, marking the end of an era for both the NWA and the emerging WCW brand.

On this day in 1992 the WWF presented Survivor Series live from the Richfield Coliseum in Ohio!

Randy Savage & Mr. Perfect defeated Razor Ramon & Ric Flair.
Perfect had been Flair’s advisor but Savage asked him to be his partner when the Ultimate Warrior and the WWF parted ways. Flair told Perfect to know his role and remain in the background. An angry Perfect stepped up and accepted Savage's request!
On Prime Time Wrestling Heenan had slapped Perfect and he leaped up and grabbed The Brain and cemented his babyface turn.

Bret "The Hitman" Hart defeated Shawn Michaels by submission to retain the WWF Title. Five years later these two would meet again at Survivor Series in Montreal with a different and more controversial result.

Wildcat Willie made his debut in 1995 during episodes of WCW Saturday Night shows. At first, the look of Wildcat Willie was imagined as a real life cartoon character. His look was very kid and family friendly. That eventually changed when the company started growing and more adult content was added. His look became more like Teen Wolf with a championship belt to boot. Eric Bischoff said years later, that he liked the idea of a WCW mascot, but felt the introduction and ex*****on of that idea was poorly done. It did inspire the idea of having dancers during the commercial breaks which later became ‘The Nitro Girls.’
