and now, it's time to take you back to another WCW Moment from 15 years ago this month:
Ric Flair wins the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Title @ WCW Bash at the Beach '96
It was Konnan defending the WCW U.S. Heavyweight Championship against the 5x NWA U.S. Heavyweight Champion-Ric Flair
On April 22, 1996, Flair lost the WCW World Heavyweight Championship to The Giant on WCW Monday NITRO on TNT
But then, @ the Bash @ the Beach, he would challenge Konnan for the U.S. Gold
Konnan and Flair had a Classic Match-Up, but @ the end, Nancy hit Konnan in the eye with her show allowing Ric Flair to win not only his 1st U.S. Title in WCW, but also, in the 35+ year history of the U.S. Heavyweight Championship (NWA/WCW/WWE) Flair became the 1st ever 6x U.S. Heavyweight Champion
He has won the title 5 times in the NWA and once in the WCW, and this was Flair's 1st U.S. Title in WCW and his 1st U.S. Title in 15 1/2 years since losing the belt to Rowdy Roddy Piper
However, in the Fall of '96. Flair suffered a shoulder injury and as a result, Flair was stripped of the U.S. Heavyweight Championship
and now, 15 years later, The U.S. Heavyweight Title is in the hands of Dolph Ziggler
and as for Konnan, he is now wrestling in AAA Wrestling in Mexico
and that's your look @ a moment from 15 years ago this month:
Ric Flair wins the U.S. Heavyweight Championship for a record breaking 6th time
and now, here's a Video Clip to that match:
