World Championship Wrestling (1993, 1998–2001) Growing up, Fliehr did not want to become a wrestler, like his father; he always wanted to be a
state trooper. He appeared on camera backstage with his father at
Starrcade '93: 10th Anniversary in
World Championship Wrestling. In the storyline, his father was going to have to "retire" if he lost his match, so his family appeared to increase the emotion. In late-1998, David was back on WCW TV sitting front row and getting involved in some skirmishes with
Eric Bischoff and the
New World Order (nWo). He eventually decided to become a wrestler and teamed with his father in his debut match at
WCW/nWo Souled Out on January 17, 1999. Fliehr wrestled under his father's altered surname of "Flair". They wrestled
Curt Hennig and
Barry Windham and won the match. On February 21, 1999, at
SuperBrawl IX, David
turned on his father and joined the
nWo Elite. He used a
taser on his father to help Hogan win their WCW World Title match. He did not wrestle for a while but did appear in vignettes with
Samantha while he was training at the
WCW Power Plant. ==Personal life==
