Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair will receive a key to the city of Columbia on Monday.
Flair, in town for World Wrestling Entertainment's RAW show Monday night at The Colonial Center, will be recognized earlier in the day in a ceremony at city hall.
"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," Mayor Bob Coble said in a news release from The Gillespie Agency.
The day will be recognized as Ric Flair Day in Columbia, the release said.
"Columbia holds a special place in my heart - it is the home of many dear friends and business associates," Flair said in the release.
Flair has been recognized as a 16-time world champion. According to the WWE Web site, Flair is known for his custom-tailored sequined ring robes and "made his name on wrestling hourlong marathon matches, his cocky interview style, and his knack for shouting 'Woooooo!' into microphones."
