It is often an area of dispute in terms of how many times Ric Flair actually became the World Champion. I think everyone knows by now that the number is a lot more than 16 for sure, but less than 21, if certain reports are to be believed.
However, when it comes to WWE history, Ric Flair is a 16-time World Champion and not a 17-time Champion, as the botch this week showed us. This was really hilarious in a sense because it showed that while Paul Heyman had fixed the big picture, there were little details that were waiting to be fixed.

Of course, the internet went wild when the botch happened and everyone went crazy Tweeting this out. Botches can diminish and derail a good product and I really do not think that this should have happened.
Let's hope WWE learned from their mistake this week.
