I met Mr. Flair just a few weeks ago down near Atlanta. We were staying at the same hotel as him. Each morning I would see him drinking a Starbucks and we'd watch some Sportscenter together. We would also see him at the bar at night and I would chat with him for quite a while. Now I knew who Rick Flair was growing up but I would never categorize myself as a wrestling fan per say but watching this interview really sums up the man that I spent time chatting with a few weeks ago. The persona I watched on tv back in the late 80's/early 90's and the man I chatted with are two completely different characters in a lot of ways. Same in some ways but totally different in many respects. He seems like a truly nice guy and as you see in this video he really loves his craft and is very thankful for his career.

Many other wrestlers were the same, some not so nice, but Ric was always someone you looked forward to seeing. Thanks for all you have done for so many for so long, relax and enjoy!

Ric Flair a true class act, you can tell wrestling was his life and he loved every minute of it. I am 41 years old, and I remember my first encounter with Pro Wrestling it was seeing Rick Flair and the 4 Horseman destroying some guy in the ring (I believe it was Magnum TA) had to be when I was like 8 years old and I was hooked.. I always favored NWA and WCW as opposed to the WWF at the time. and the Main Draw for me was Mr. Flair. Hands down the best Showman and talker in Pro Wrestling ever. He could go on 25 minute rants and have everyone glued to every word he said. basically he was the pioneer of what all rappers talk about, Fine Women, German Cars, Rolex's G6's Champagne etc.. He should get royalties from the Hip Hop biz This interview was good and the end where he gets choked up about having to retire was very genuine. Flair would be a positive example of the business long term wise.. Its a shame Hulk Hogan didn't have the same exit.

I've been around long enough to have seen Snuka, Samartino, Rhoades, Piper, and only God knows how many others from coast to coast and around the planet and I can say, with absolute confidence that Flair, in getting over, being a heel, and especially in cutting promos, remains one of the absolute best. He did the whole custom made thing before Bockwinkle and others. He made the mold on how a champion should look. I have enormous respect for what he, and every other wrestler ever put themselves through, just to entertain people like me. To all of you who ever put on the tights, you have my undying gratitude.

+Damien Jones I learned about Bockwinkle through my travels during my 20's and 30's and grew to respect him and others. Unfortunately, I never got to watch him when I was a kid living in NYC since to my knowledge, he never came up that way, at least not on TV. I learned about Flair since I was lucky enough to have access to cable and thus, super station TBS. Yes, Buddy Rogers IS the original Nature Boy. No question. To me though, it's how Flair pulled all the elements together, (the robes, the suits, the promos, etc) to do his thing, especially when the Horsemen got started and wrestling's popularity exploded in the 80's and 90's. Didn't hurt that he had some great people to play off of, especially Dusty Rhoades.

I grew up in the late 70's & early 80's in the NY metro area. WWF dominated the airwaves, UNTIL....cable came along. I was accustomed to seeing greats like Andre, Putski, Rocky Johnson, George "The Animal" Steele, & Superstar Billy Graham on a weekly basis. And THEN,...through the "magic" of cable, came the greats of the AWA & NWA! Guys I'd only READ about in PWI, Inside Wrestling, etc. To finally see the "WOOOOOO!!!!....Nature Boy",...MAN,...I finally SAW what all the "hype" was surrounding this ENTERTAINING WRESTLER!! Flair was heal when I first saw him in '85 or '86 (4 Horsemen days), but the undeniable fact WAS,...the guy was #1 when it came to ENTERTAINING the crowd, and "SELLIN' IT"!! Comparatively,...at the time, I'd say the percentage was about 75/25, WWF to other federations, that were shown in the NY metro area. If I remember correctly, NWA & AWA programming was shown ONLY on the weekends, and ONLY on TBS and/or "premium package channels". Nevertheless, I would MAKE IT A POINT to catch any/all NWA & AWA programs that I could, since they were "limited showings". In the end,...just wanted to say, Ric Flair is TRULY,...a LEGEND!! A game-changer!! A wrestling ICON!! Thanks for the memories Mr. Flair!

The 1st I remember of Flair was watching NWA as a kid in the 80s in his feud with Dusty Rhodes. I hated him just as I was supposed to because he was the perfect heel. Now as an adult the appreciation I have for all his years of effort is unmatched. The thing that sets him apart from other top guys for me is unlike a politician such as Hogan, Cena, Michaels etc who stayed on top by kissing ass & using their clout to keep everyone else down, Flair understood his place & what was best for business. I've seen him put over countless guys who aren't even close to being in his league. I watched every week as he made guys like the Z man, Road Warrior Hawk, Lex Luger, Terry Taylor, & dozens others look like a million bucks & carry them through hour long time limit matches where he was about to be pinned as time expired or would cheat to get out with the belt making his opponent look stronger than him every night even as champ. Sting, Windom, Big Show, Funk, Rhodes, Hogan, Bret, Luger, Von Erich, Savage, Garvin, Butch Reed, & 100 other guys who became names in the business owe Ric Flair a huge debt for what Ric did for them.

That’s why people love him. From the minute he leaves the locker room to the moment he returns to it: He’s locked in- and that’s what it takes to build a story like his. Is he perfect? Of course not. Has he made mistakes? Sure, but who hasn’t? He made it in and made it out alive. Well done sir. 👍

Ric Flair is by far the #1 reason why wrestling is where it is today. Through his talent to gain attention for the show across the country is pure genius. He has always been my #1 favorite of all time! WOOOOOOOOOO! WOOO! WOOO! Wooooooooooo!

Ric Flair always treats me like a million bucks, he saw me at the convention and called me right over to shake my hand and say hello, he signed my magazine photo of him wrestling Gino Hernandez which Gino had signed for my Aunt in the 1980's, so now it is complete and Ric was even amazed by it being signed by Gino. Ric Flair is a class act as always.

Awesome story about the autographs. According to Gary Hart, Gino had a lot of talent, but too many demons to overcome.

LISTEN UP SCHIAVONE! All the women want to be with me, and all the men want to be like me BUT in order to be the man you have to beat the man.....and whether you like it or don't like it...learn to love it because that's all it will ever be......whooooooo! The Nature Boy and The American Dream Dusty Rhodes feud in the mid 80's might've been one of the greatest rivalries in N.W.A. or W.C.W. history. Not saying it was but pretty close. If anyone can think of other great rivalries from that organization please mention.
@jyatsko898 жыл бұрын
Not really a rivalry but, Mick Foley, aka Cactus Jack, aka Mankind, aka Dude Love, was one of the greatest of all time, and he's in my personal *Top 3* favorite wrestlers of ALL TIME. He was also just such a great, positive, loving family man outside of the ring, and inside, always gave it his all and did it over the top, not for him, not for the money, but for the sport itself and especially for the fans. He always did his best to make it as entertaining and fun as possible for the fans of wrestling man...such a great wrestler, and even better person/husband/father/friend.

There is honestly not a person alive today who could call themselves a wrestling fan and not respect Ric Flair. This man is total class and I will tell you right now that as a grown man if I was to meet him at any point in my life I would have to take a physical bow to the greatest wrestler that ever lived. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the honor of meeting Flair on several occasions. First in the mid 80's at TBS studios when I went to watch a television taping. I ran into him in the hallway. He stopped and asked me how I was enjoying the show, and said they did their best to put on a great show. I met him again in the mid 90's. This time we actually had some time to talk a bit. he was, and is a class act. Reall the best their ever was.

Hulk Hogan is a joke and a horrible wrestler. People forget that Flair was excellent at technical moves in the ring. Flair is hands down the best ever. Hogan needs to disappear forever with his cheesy leg drop...

Todd Richardson Hogan had as much to do with the globalization of professional wrestling as Flair. Give him credit. While wrestling ability has something to do with it, his character excelled past the business itself.

Lets just say they both needed each other to survive. The heat between the two was good for business. Both Hogan and Flair have the same contribute to wrestling. They are both Legends even though I am not a big fan of both. They deserve credit when its due.

I had the honor of meeting Ric Flair on more then one occasion. What I have always loved about this man is his endless amount of HEART. When you look up HEART in the dictionary, there should be a picture of this man. A real man is not affraid to laugh or cry and show PASSION. During a few down times in my life, this is the man that gave me inspiration.. The Greatest of all time... MR RIC FLAIR! Love Ya my brother

Absolutely the greatest of all time. Saw him for the first time on Georgia Championship Wrestling on WTBS in 1983 and I was hooked. No one will ever surpass him in the ring or on the mic. Get well soon, Nature Boy. I am pulling for you.
