Long before they tied up in the ring, Mr. Perfect and "Ravishing" Rick Rude raised hell in the hallways of Minnesota's Robbinsdale High School as classmates. The school can also claim Nikita Koloff and Barry Darsow as alumni. Weird.

When Flair left, this fee was not returned to him- so he claimed rightful ownership of the title. In time, the belt was returned to WCW, but only after Naitch was repaid...with interest.
