Ric Flair Kidnapped by Child Traffickers & Gets Emotional Talking About Adoptive Parents

[@underratedszn6549]

Dude has had the craziest life ever survived plane crashes child trafficking.

[@arresthillary9502]

"LET ME TELL YA SUMTHIN BROTHA"...............that why he always been such a mental case.

He also survived being struck by lightning ⚡ as well if u think I'm lying watch the new RF documentary on Peacock 🦚

[@mringram]

​@@arresthillary9502damn for some reason I read it in Hogan's voice

[@Martillo81015]

That explains how he could get into wrestling and dominate. Takes a special and different person to live a lifestyle like he did

[@oasispatiocover]

Shannon Sharpe has become the best interviewer. He always comes prepared, asks the right questions, and most importantly allows his guests to speak without interrupting.

[@billythatkidd6926]

Yeah unlike the types like VladTV 😂

[@MikaeIe90]

Man. If anything, this interview just tells me how fast life flies. I remember being in middle school watching him on TV. Seeing him now at this age is crazy.

[@Hengel_Andrews]

Natch was never young though

[@AnonymousRandomGuy006]

Crazy that you aged and he hasn’t?

[@ThizzyWailer]

Dude has been 80 since the 90's

[@norcal9706]

His parents story of how they died really touched my soul. She must really have loved that man. It’s sad yet beautiful of true love to the end!

[@robertbishop5357]

I'm thankful that Rick loved his parents and appreciated what they did for him.

[@bigt9374]

Dam . Ricks life story would make an incredible movie . He's been through it all .

[@wadevid]

There's a documentary called "Becoming Ric Flair" but i haven't seen it. I think I'll check it out. It might not touch as much on his childhood but maybe it does.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Glad Ric Flair shared his story on Club Shay Shay. Many can learn from one of the all-time greats.

[@youwild00]

I like how Shannon mimics his guest's posture. A key strategy to get someone more comfortable.

[@judemabuzatv3209]

Best Ric Flair interview I've watched.

[@mrsmitty]

Protect this man at all costs!!

[@RobbieBlue]

Rick, is proof that environment matters not so much biology, he was surrounded by loving, intelligent, gifted ppl

[@pizzulo8111]

My first on the books job was working at the retirement community where his parents lived. He would come eat with them sometimes. It was crazy looking over at a room full of old people, and there's Ric Flair. His hair was always perfect, too!

[@GymJones865]

That’s interesting how his adoptive parents had the degrees and jobs that they had and he ended up being one of the greatest showmen in wrestling history.

[@Portknocks]

Shannon is getting better and better each interviewee

[@txsurf87]

Shannon's interviews are so on point !! Great and tough questions, but he asks them with compassion and thought.

[@dmongru]

Too bad he doesn’t know his birth family. I’ve always wondered if they had insane personalities like Flair’s because his adopted family seemed very prim and proper

[@zackwhite639]

Ric Flair is a living legend!!! Wooooooooo!!

[@losdawg6265]

Great questions from Shannon! You can tell he really put in his research here to interview an all time legend. Kudos man!

[@Warrior519]

Imagine being the brother and finding out so you just wanna meet him to be connected to your family and he says this about you. That's heartless to me.

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

What a life he's had. He's a survivor for sure. I was never a wrestling fan but I was a Ric fan if that makes sense. 😀❤️ It's good to see him tear up because REAL men cry and have feelings ❤️❤️. We see Ric and other stars being macho and tough but it takes real strength to cry and feel. Ric is a real man😀👍❤️

[@grawakendream8980]

this is the best interview conducted with Ric Flair I have seen ever, by far. All credit to The interviewer

[@TheRealHBK4]

Minnesota man love that boy Rick

[@ckharu]

I want to be as chill as this guy when I’m old

[@BBPalmer420]

If you had to spend nearly all your life dressed up like this guy going around yelling WOO everywhere and playing an exhausting character .. trust me, you would be chill too at his age 😂

[@ksue2192]

That's crazy about his mother, great interview.

[@thehound1359]

Shannon is a great interviewer

[@mauricehudspeth6679]

He seems like he brings the best and most comfortable side out of every guest.

[@BOBBYSOX86]

I'm the "Nature Boy" Fred Phillips! Woooo!

[@albertvandellen4101]

Rick Flair had me crying up in this club

[@jeffp130]

Club shay shay is special, gotta appreciate these convos.

[@PANCHOSWAY]

Respect for anything Rick did and how open he shares it

[@Keighron34]

There needs to be a movie made about this man!

[@punkylynneramone1981]

I would buy it

[@BBPalmer420]

Nah.. we have enough biopics out there.. honestly after watching Dewey Cox I can’t take a biopic seriously anyway

[@Keighron34]

@@BBPalmer420 i would just like to see a film on the man's life but I agree there are too many. Not to mention the guy that played Ric Flair in the Iron Claw was awful. He has no charisma

[@realtalk675]

He was born to made it ! Wat a great guy

[@davidmendez8185]

This got me emotional. Wow.

[@Tehui1974]

"I felt like I didn't do them justice because they were such good people" - Bro, that's f* deep.

[@mickser101]

Ric has had a crazy life you could make 2 movies on his life. Sad that he never sought out his biological parents or ignoring his own biological brother

[@ExploreandExperience1]

He said " prob wanna borrow money" 🤣

[@miguelberumen558]

Best episode yet

[@itz-luigi1210]

Hands down the best interview I have ever seen for Ric. UNC is the modern day Barbara Walters

[@PatBlackwell-z3i]

Kids Rick Flair is THE GOAT

[@KrisWard-xs2pr]

Ric seems like a good soul

[@DarthSidian]

That's a dark history with a lot more to it. That trafficking ring had a lot of weird things going on.

[@blakebarberi4828]

[@BadMoney29]

This was deep.

[@SparkUpTheConvo]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[@Ssjcloud3]

He also survived living in a volcano, the end of the world and mosquito bites. Legend

[@TheCrusadesWereAVibeLowkey]

Dude who trafficked him was probably the same one to write his pay cheques later in life

[@NotoriousSSV]

It was a woman named Georgia Tann that stole him, and a whole lot of other kids.

[@JJ-vp3bd]

What happened to her

[@mr.perksy]

There is a book on it I believe, I forget the name of it. But talks all about these exact childhood traffickers in the late 1940’s that Flair was apart of.

[@Dukeblue1]

@@JJ-vp3bd there was also an episode of unsolved mysteries about her. She made millions of dollars in the 30's and 40's from the child trafficking.

[@lolam3450]

Bro if you're talking about Vince he was 4 at the time lol 😭

[@memphisflyer8574]

Memphis has a dark history of stealing orphans. We had huge orphanages in the city.

Outside of Memphis, too. Tuck away in the counties. Run by the Catholic churches. Now, most of those churches are in ruins.🤨

[@taramadelyn655]

have always been a fan of Mr, Ric Flair, long before his Airplane crash in October '75. I remember him with Rip hawk and he called him Uncle Rip, and all is tie died T shirts, etc, I knew he was going to be a star. Now on Shannon, Wow, have seen his interviews for years, will say he is such a great interviewer, I am very impressed with his interviews, keep up the good work Shannon.

[@Ryan40272]

Back then 10K a YEAR was a lot of money? That's the cost of private high schools where I live a year today. 10K in 64 is 99K today. My grandfather bough his house in 1956 for 9K
