5 Most Memorable Great American Bash Moments
WWE NXT The Great American Bash kicks off TONIGHT!
4. "We Want Flair!" (1991)
Of the many blunders of WCW VP Jim Herd's three years running the ship, the most notorious was his firing of World champion Ric Flair in the midst of a pay dispute. The firing came two weeks before The Bash, which Flair was to headline, and he possessed the physical belt.
A cheaply-made knockoff of the belt was made for the Lex Luger-Barry Windham top contenders Cage Match, but irate fans had none of it. A night of bad action was made worse by impassioned choruses of "WE WANT FLAIR" at every turn, and rang out even louder for the title bout.
