Who
in that Greensboro Coliseum crowd could have
known that when
veteran Rip Hawk and his "nephew" Ric
Flair won the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team title
that it would be the first in a string of
championships that would include regional titles as
well as reigns as NWA,
WCW, and WWF World champion, and NWA and WWE World Tag champions.
Flair was just getting started on that Fourth of
July in 1974, and those on hand to see the
fireworks that night knew they were seeing
something special, even though no one would have
guessed how significant history would judge that
night.
