| | | | Ron Garvin: Encyclopedia II - Jim Crockett Promotions - Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling In 1973, the younger Crockett took over the territory after his father retired. He decided to change the territory's name from ESCW to Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling or MACW. He managed to arrange television tapings at WRAL in Raleigh, an agreement that would last until 1981. The shows were syndicated throughout the territory.
During this period MACW had a working agreement with Frank Tunney's Maple Leaf Wrestling in Canada that allowed Crockett to co-promote shows north of the border, while MLW talent would occasionally appear in Mid Atlantic. These combined to make Mid Atlantic p ...

| | | | Ron Garvin: Encyclopedia II - American Wrestling Association - History Until the 1980s, the AWA was considered one of the top wrestling companies in the world. Verne Gagne had been its biggest star even before he took control of the company, and his position at the top only solidified with him as owner. Feuding against Gene Kiniski, Dr. Bill Miller, Fritz Von Erich, Dr. X (Dick Beyer under a mask), The Crusher, Ray Stevens and Nick Bockwinkel, he won the AWA World Heavyweight Championship 10 times before retiring from in-ring competition in 1981. Gagne was a former amateur-wrestling champion who had earned a sp ...

| | | | Ron Garvin: Encyclopedia II - Ric Flair - Controversy Ric Flair has been the subject of controversy. In 2004, Flair engaged in an off-screen rivalry with Bret Hart, in which both claimed to be the best wrestler of all time and accused each other of performing the same routines in most of their matches. Hart responded that Flair had spent the majority of his career in the NWA/WCW which he stated "is and always has been second rate to the WWF". Flair spent two years in the WWF prior to 2001, losing th ...

| | | | Ron Garvin: Encyclopedia II - Ric Flair - Legacy Despite his age and his less-than-chiseled physique, Ric Flair can still take on wrestlers half his age. Even though he is long past his prime as a "main-eventer," he still serves a purpose by getting in the ring and making younger wrestlers look good. Flair is over in the ring due mostly to his in-ring antics, including cheating ways (earning him the distinction of being "the dirtiest player in the game"), his trademark strut a ...
