Is the Nature Boy really 16 time world champ

**iwantviral** · 08-08-2005, 01:51 AM

as far as i can remember, the Nature Boy Ric Flair won the WWE Title Only two times.

First in the Royal Rumble 1992 match for the vacant WWE Title
Second when he defeated Macho Man Randy Savage for the WWE Title

The WWE claims that Ric Flair is a 16 time champion then does this 16 time champ clause includes all the titles he has gained? (no offense meant for the Nature Boy)

He has never gained the World Heavyweight Championship since it came into existance

So has he won the WCW title for 14 times?

Or is this story a hoax just to create a landmark for someone like Triple H to break it.

Triple H has won the WWE Title & World Heavyweight Title 5 times each which makes him a 10 time champion and is the closest to beat Flair's record of 16 time reign.

As per my calculation The Rock has gained the WWE Title for most number of times ( 7 times )

I do not want to take anything away from Flair, he is a phenomenal wrestler but i m curious.
