 Ric Flair also took the WCW World Championship with him to the WWF, proclaiming himself the “Real World Heavyweight Champion”.The reason he did this was when a champion held a title belt, they had to put a cash deposit down on the belt while champion, and when Jim Herd didn’t renew Flair’s contract, he never repaid him the deposit Flair put down on the WCW World Championship.Therefore, since Flair never received his deposit back, he technically owned the belt, and took it with him to the WWF in the fall of 1991.
