Wrestling's Ric Flair gets key to the city

Posted: Updated:

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - One of the WWE RAW's biggest stars got a pretty big honor Monday.

Sixteen-time World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion Ric Flair received a key to the city in a morning ceremony.

Mayor Bob Coble presented the wrestling star with the key.

The day was proclaimed Ric Flair Day in Columbia by Mayor Coble.

"Ric Flair is a legend with thousands of fans in the Columbia area. He is a great friend of Columbia, and he generates a lot of business within our city. We are proud to honor him," said Mayor Bob Coble last week in a written news release.

Flair will appear Monday night at the Colonial Center as part of the WWE's RAW. It's the last wrestling event in the WWE schedule before Flair is inducted into the WWE Wrestling Hall of Fame on March 29th.

"Columbia holds a special place in my heart - it is the home of many dear friends and business associates. I am honored to receive the key to this great city," said Flair.
