Does anybody know where and when this would have been?
I don't think it was they're MSG match that is often found online.
Thanks,

From the History of WWE website:
WWF @ Dayton, OH - Nutter Center - October 22, 1991
Ric Flair vs. WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan via count-out; this was
originally scheduled to be Piper vs. Flair but was turned into a tag match where
Hogan would team with Piper; Piper no-showed and it became a one-on-one match;
although the Oakland show is generally regarded as the first Hogan / Flair bout,
this is the true first meeting.
This is the one that I heard about back then and thought it was their first match:
WWF @ Oakland, CA - Coliseum - October 25, 1991 (14,900)
WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair (w/ Bobby Heenan) via reverse
decision; Flair had vs. Hogan at 11:35 by using a foreign object handed to
him by Heenan but another referee came to the ring to dispute the call;
immediately after the bout, Flair put Hogan in the figure-4 until Greg Valentine
and Davey Boy Smith made the save

This thread got me interested in finding out details.
Here's one of their MSG house show bouts, courtesy of YouTube:

Long story short, Flair carried around the WCW/NWA big gold belt for a bit, and then they tried to sue (mainly to get their belt off their competition's television programming), so Flair had to start carrying around a Tag Title belt. They still blurred it to try and protect the gimmick though. |

Nope, in Flair's book he states their first match ever was in late 1991 somewhere in Southern Ontario, Canada. I just don't remember the city, but I'll try to find the name. Flair was pissed that after years of build up, they did it at a small house show.
