MAY 13, 1974 (Coliseum)

(Editor's Note: This was likely Ric Flair's first Mid-Atlantic match. Becky Taylor sent us the following: You listed a May 13, 1974 match as possibly being Ric Flair's first in Charlotte. Almost assuredly it is, and it also looks to be his first match in the territory. The last known AWA match for Flair is May 6 (in Detroit Lakes, Minn.). And also, Flair recently said on the radio that his first Mid-Atlantic match was in Charlotte.
