According to WRAL, the North Carolina Senate has introduced a bipartisan bill called the “RIC FLAIR” Act that would earmark $500,000 for a study on the feasibility of a pro wrestling hall of fame in the state.
Ric Flair, who has had a legendary 50-year career in wrestling, competed at WRAL when the station hosted live matches in the 1970s. After living in Charlotte for many years, Flair became a local celebrity in North Carolina.
