Ric Flair's Key to Colombia, SC

Not only will Ric Flair be honored as a 2008 WWE Hall of Fame member, but he also will receive a key to the city of Columbia, SC this Monday. According to an article from WIStv.com, Ric Flair will be honored on Monday, March 24, as he is presented with a key to the city of Columbia, S.C. by the city's mayor. It comes as an honor to Flair and his contributions to the community. The day will also be proclaimed "Ric Flair Day".

From WISTV.com:

"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 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.

The key to the city is bestowed upon distinguished persons and honored guests of the City of Columbia. The practice of presenting a key to an individual may be traced back to medieval times, when admission into a city was hampered by many legal restrictions, as well as by walls and locked gates.

So Flair will have yet another great achievement in a legendary wrestling career. The big question is whether all these recent achievements are a sign that Ric Flair will be continuing or retiring after Wrestlemania 24.
