Over the course of 21 years, Tennessee Children's Home Societydirector Georgia Tann and a web of co-conspirators (judges, social workers, etc.) kidnapped around 5000 children and adopted them out for profit under the guise of a legitimate agency. Flair was one of those children. In 1949, he was adopted by a couple in Minnesota, obstetrician Dick Fl...
Ironically, Flair felt he disappointed his adoptive parents because they loved theater, and he loved sports. Perhaps as a way to cover that disappointment (which seems ill-conceived based on his eventual over-the-top performances) or simply as a means to follow in his father's medical footsteps, Flair considered going into dentistrybefore pursuing ...
When Flair decided to try his hand at wrestling, he went to train with legendary promoter Verne Gagne, owner of the Minnesota-based American Wrestling Association. But two days of doing 500 free squats, 200 push-ups, and 200 sit-ups at Gagne's camp had Flair mentally and physically exhausted. He threw in the towel and called his friend Greg (Verne'...
Flair and Greg Gagne struck up a rapport outside of the ring, so, naturally, they found themselves wrestling each other early on in their careers. One of their most memorable bouts took place in a high school in Peoria, Illinois, where nothing went according to plan. "I bodyslammed Ric and the ring collapsed in the middle and went down," Gagne reca...
The nickname "Nature Boy" doesn't exactly correspond with Flair's "stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun" persona—in fact, it sounds a bit more like he communes in the forest and has a knack for recycling. Turns out, he actually cribbed the name from Buddy Rogers, a dynamo who drew huge cr...
When Flair's wrestling career was just starting, he was a heavyset brawler with a buzzcut who bore little resemblance to the icon he would become. But that changed in October 1975 when Flair was involved in a plane crash that killed the pilot, paralyzed another wrestler, and broke his back in three places. Despite being told he would never wrestle ...
According to Flair, he had another close brush with death in the late '70s, when he said he was nearly struck by lightning (the person behind him wasn't so lucky). He talked about iton Dan Le Batard's ESPN Radio show in 2016. "I was getting off a plane in Richmond, Virginia. They didn’t have the jetways back then, back in the late '70s, and I was l...
One of the most recognizable catchphrases in the business, Flair's "Woo!" never ceases to taunt his opponents into a rage. He took it fromrockabilly icon Jerry Lee Lewis's hit "Great Balls of Fire," using it both during his matches and while cutting promos.
TNT's weekly WCW Nitro show launched on September 4, 1995, with Hulk Hogan wrestling Big Bubba Rogers and Ric Flair squaring off against Sting. The program went up against then-WWF's Monday Night Raw, eventually dominating the ratings with its penchant for chaos, shocks, and what amounts to grittier realism in the wrestling world. But WCW's success...
In a gracious act of friendship and camaraderie, Flair gave his "Big Gold Belt"—the one regularly seen around his waist in his National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and WCW days—to Triple H, the multi-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Flair had originally won the iconic title in the 1980s, and when WCW shuttered, a similar version of the belt was br...
