Ric “The Nature Boy” Flair is one of the biggest known American professional wrestlers in the world. He is recognized by many within the WWE and WCW as having been a 16 time World Champion although that number is up to debate depending on the source. According to WWE, Flair is an eight-time National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Champion, six-time WCW Champion and two-time WWE Champion. He has also had tremendous success with being in one of the greatest wrestling stables of all time (The Four Horsemen). Despite his age, Flair is still able to compete on a regular basis thanks to his charisma and showmanship in the ring. He is often known for his cheating antics that have given him the nickname “The Dirtiest Player in the Game” as well as his trademark strut and his constant need to yell “WOO!” whenever he chops someone in the chest in the corner. He still wears sequin robes and comes out to the theme music used in 2001: A Space Odyssey which only further emphasizes the grandeur of his character and of his entrance into the ring. Flair will be inducted into the 2007 WWE Hall Of Fame ceremony in April of this year and will be one of the few wrestlers to be inducted while still being an active wrestler which can only further help his image as one of the greatest pro wrestlers alive today. Flair has had many great quotes in his professional wrestling career including the famous “To Be The Man……….You Need To Beat The Man!!!” but our favorite includes his quote that best describes his lifestyle and his professional wrestling career which is this quote:
“I’m a stylin’, profilin’, limousine-ridin’, jet-flyin’, kiss-stealin’, wheeler-dealin’, son of a gun, who’s kissed all the girls and made them cry.” – Ric Flair |
