"The Real World Champion" Ric Flair in the WWF(E)
He had a belt that he stole from WCW!

Actually, that belt was Flair's personal property since he paid to have it made. The situation was settled by Flair selling the belt back to WCW.

not completely. WCW/NWA at that time still had an old school rule regarding the top belt and the wrestlers holding it. It was never the wrestler's property per se, but they always took out a 25K bond on it, and it was their job to carry the belt with them wherever they went.

Well, During the contract dispute between Jim Herd and Flair, herd forgot to give Flair the 25K bond back to flair before flair jumped. So the belt was still in flair's posession when Vince signed him. The bond was finally given back to flair, so, he was obligated by the contract to give back the NWA/WCW title

I thought Flair put up the bond for the old NWA belt.



Then, he paid for the new belt himself.



Granted, NWA/WCW still had the bond. But, ownership of the belt was arguably Flair's.
