Many NWA World Heavyweight champions have been crowned. But there are few wrestlers that many consider legends and most of those legends were NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champions. Ric Flair, Harley Race, Dusty Rhodes, George Hackenschmidt, Lou Thesz, Terry Funk, Ricky Steamboat, and many others have held this great belt. But who is the greatest NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion?
Mine is Ric Flair. For my era, no one's done more for wrestling than Ric Flair. Sure, Hogan drew more money and had the merchandise, but as far as pure wrestling fan is concerned, many feel Ric Flair will go down as the greatest wrestler to ever live, so that would make him the greatest NWA Champion of all time. He's beaten Rhodes, Race, Sting, Luger, Ron Garvin, Kerry Von Erich, Jumbo Tsuruta, Stan Hansen, Bob Backlund, Ricky Steamboat and others. To me, that's a who's who of professional wrestling and am impressive list of accomplishments in a long storied career.
So who do you think is the greatest NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion?
