Ric Flair On Life Of Wrestling

[@HoweIIPendragon]

Seeing him get so emotional about realizing his wrestling career had to end makes it easy to understand why he is considered one of the best wrestlers of all time. How could he not be the best with such a deep love for his profession?

[@rickb.9067]

When you love something as much as Ric Flair did you are going to get emotional. And there is not a dang thing wrong with that.

[@gman829dixon]

For sure. 🤙🏽

[@johnniebee4328]

not one of the best, the best, the absolute best. It's like this, the top 10 wrestlers of all time are Ric Flair. Number 2 is more like number 11

[@michaelbartosh8203]

I agree

[@malcolmjameson8790]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me.

What gratitude this man has. Thanks for the memories Ric, WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@devilxking2]

It really breaks my heart every time I see Ric get so emotional like that. He truly loves the business. Flair IS wrestling.

[@swvastories3498]

People really gave him the affection that he so desired from his parents.

[@michaelbartosh8203]

I agree

[@brodocbetty4856]

He loved and was thankful to be in a profession he enjoyed and didn't take it for granted.

[@kevinjones8929]

He's just an insecure guy that's been crying now for 30 years since he became too old to be the full time champ anymore. He wasnt crying in '86. Why would that break your heart?

[@richardremick1639]

[@nashagnas9139]

one of the best performers in pro wrestling history, one of the most decorated stars in the industry. ric flair!!! long live the legend!!! woooo!!!

[@udhoop]

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.

[@depaola63]

RIGHT ON ! I love to hear things like this......Ray Stevens WAS THE MAN 1st! I am now 55 and remember ! Ric made ALL THE $$ !! He iS class and helped many !

[@62202ify]

What a memory. I met Captain Lou Albano as a teenager outside my High School, I was heading to my bus and for some reason I turned around and saw Captain Lou talking to some Administrators, he was promoting an event at another High School in our district, so I went over to him and said "Excuse me, Captain Lou Albano? And he said "Yeah". So I said "I'm a big fan, can I have your autograph"? And he said "Sure", and signed it for me.

[@lymanmclallen2436]

This is just truly a great interview. Jeff Glor did a superb job in bringing out the best of this, the greatest professional wrestler of all.

[@ericostling4727]

I agree. The best of all time.

[@BoobLover4Life]

+Eric Ostling really the best of all time lol? He might have been great in the promos but in the ring when it comes to wrestling he was average or even below that. Thousands of better wrestlers out there.

[@ericostling4727]

+Eric Ostling are you on crack. I'm 41. I've seen them all. He's the best. Ever. Don't know many wrestlers who can wrestle 60 min matches twice a day. All over the world. Who do you think is the best? Let me guess. Brett hart? Stone cold. Undertaker.....

[@BoobLover4Life]

+Eric Ostling i have never taken drugs or never will unlike Mr Flair and Hogan that thrive on it.

[@BoobLover4Life]

+Eric Ostling he was a performer more than a complete wrestler. With Flair for me it has been on and off, sometimes I liked him but sometimes I didn't. I never wish him any harm though.he may be a cool guy if I met him.

[@mysticgatherings]

I have never appreciated Ric Flair more. Those are tears of gratitude and thankfulness. Its great when you are thankful for what life has given you especially when its all good. I consider myself very blessed and when I look back and think about the good that has been in my life I too get very emotional. I salute Rich Flair's humanity.

[@rfnatureboy]

I worked part time at Gold's Gym (South Blvd & Tyvola Rd, Charlotte) from 1982 to 86 and Ric Flair was a true gentleman everytime he came in. One of the nicest, most respectful guys you would ever know and was at the height of his long career at that time. 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!

[@MrISADEO]

I have no words... The love that man had, and still has, for wrestling, the sport, the life style... I want to have that passion, that love for something I do. It's just heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Ric Flair.

This interview right here just goes to show why they’ll never ever be another that comes close to Ric Flair! He really is the best of all time! Thanks for all the great times you gave us Mr. Ric Flair!! Whooooo

[@tonyzeno2715]

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.

[@sshannon1948]

Great interview. It it always touching when I see the last minute or so and I see Mr. Flair tear up. He shows his humanness.

[@sshannon1948]

Thank you. And now if you understand the message I was conveying, I will give you a 100%.

[@sshannon1948]

You never answered my question,,,,why not?

[@Loustechworld]

Now That's A LEGEND!!!! He loved the sport as much as it loved him!

[@ryanhagerty4244]

Flair was a HUGE part of my childhood. I met him last year and I was 10 years old again. Good guy, he sat and shot the shit for awhile.

[@oldgoat142]

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.

[@oldgoat142]

+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.

[@Yoni123]

+War Horse 14269 nothing wrong about being a student of the game and learning from the best. flair took what had been done before and perfected it

[@oldgoat142]

Best mic skills. Entertaining, funny, he painted a picture of luxury life, good looking man with hot babes yet he'd go out there and threatened his opponents and made good on it. He gave his body and blood on every big match and without taking stupid chances of losing his life. What a pro!

Ric Flair, truly lives and breathes, pro wrestling. It's in his blood, and he will forever be remembered for everything that he did for the business. I've never met Ric Flair, but still am hopeful that one day I do. I've always looked up to him as a pro wrestler, and anticipate the day, if it should ever come, to meeting one of the greatest performers in this sport. Great interview!!!

"Styling & Profiling"

[@CollectingCardboard]

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!

[@beautydaddy]

Here is a man who loves his work...thanks for the memories since 1973, Ric.

[@mikeferr107]

It surprises me to hear him say that he didn't give as much as he got back. I think that he did. Back in the day, he went out to the ring and gave it all he had in some epic matches. It surprises me that he could be so humble, considering that he is such a legend. When I was a kid, in the mid 80s, Ric Flair was bigger than life.

[@Palalubong]

Pure legend and one of the best and hardest workers in the business. Flair, take a bow!!

[@sshannon1948]

I also think Mr. Flair was very comfortable with the young man who interviewed him. Thought he was a great interviewer.

[@fjccommish]

He asked a question, and then he let Ric answer. Most interviewers don't know how to shut up.

[@LissaBroyles]

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.

I got trained by Killer Kowalski and went on the road. I met Ric Flair and I can say he loved this business like no one else. I really felt his passion at the end of the interview because it was genuine. Mad respect for all he gave and did because leaving your family for all those days and years to entertain fans takes more than anyone could ever ever ever imagine. Ric THANK YOU BROTHER.

I think what makes Ric so good is that it isn’t just about what happens in the ring- it’s the effort and talent used outside of it that also matters- because it isn’t just a match, it’s an entire show- and Ric gave 200% in both. 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. 👍

[@oldgoat142]

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

[@tobygolding1893]

he was fucking horrible ?

[@Thomas-pu2qw]

bangin gramz Figure four hurts like hell!

[@AssaultAndBattery777]

last 2 min of the video is what wrestling is all about.. the passion for the business, I am not the biggest Ric Flair fan, but damn this video is really emotional and speaks the truth about Wrestling

[@hotchocolatefitness]

to be the man you got to beat the man!he is wrestling!

[@soulshaker51]

Thank you Ric. I've been a fan since I can remember. I'm 36 and watched you style and profile in the NWA in North Carolina. The four Horsemen, your feuds with Dusty and the Koloffs, Magnum TA, you rule! You are a classic and there will NEVER EVER be another wrestler like you! WOOOOOOOO!

[@AWrestlingHistorian]

Wrestle. Get drunk. Sleep around with women. Squander your money. Repeat.

[@peedurrnorth2700]

you say "wrestle" as if its easy to do.... tell me ... HOW many 60 minute matches and plane crashes and lightning strikes have YOU done or survived?? and your lil pic of warrior?? as if he was shit other than a flash in the pan who held vince up for money....and never worked a 60 min match ever in his life...

[@peedurrnorth2700]

and as if you wouldnt have fucked as many woman or spent as much money as this guy made....IF you were ever in a position to do so..cuz incest for you must be going dull..

[@ryanhagerty4244]

Flair was far from the best wrestler ever. But, he put on the best show. His promos were the best!! He was a goddamned lunatic.

[@stoolsamplelabexcrement5748]

mirror mirror on the wall.....your a fucking piss ant.....

[@nickfanzo]

OneUltimateWarrior that is why he is the best ever.

[@donn409]

It takes a real man to talk about all the great memories and cry about them. I think about all my memories with my family and people that inspired me and it always brings a tear to my eye. Thanks for the memories "Nature Boy".

[@MagnumPI4]

I've got 25 women outside in a stretch limousine just waiting for me to get inside and go Wooo!

[@tomhill5594]

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.

[@nunyabidnss9094]

What a terrible interviewer. Get a REAL MAN to interview this Legend, THE BEST EVER!! Ric Flair

[@ronniemoon57]

Jeff Glor was great. What's wrong with you?

[@heelboy]

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.

[@toddrichardson8595]

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...

[@ghostspectre1861]

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.

[@zentura88]

Todd Richardson I like Curt Hennig better... he wasn't a money maker but he sure had the moves!

[@ghostspectre1861]

F Zentura Hennig was awesome. The "perfect" gimmick.

[@BoobLover4Life]

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.

[@ghostspectre1861]

AlbostyleG If they "needed" each other, why didn't they face each other at Wrestlemania?

[@djcranium1210]

what a guy who gave so much passion and still wants to carry on risking his health for the fans. wow he got me choked up at the end wooooo what a inspiration for life.

[@andyrobinson5555]

I got teary eyed at the end too! What a class act. The best trash talker ever in the history of life. The interviewer was great, coming in for the money question at the end. Ric Flair lives on TNA! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@jonwolf07]

The interviewer is fantastic. Respectful, patient, doesn't talk too much like others do. This was a pleasure to watch woooooooooooooo.

[@gib412]

There are a lot things about my childhood in the 70's and 80's that made it great and Ric Flair was by far one of them and for that I will always have the utmost admiration and respect for him. Thanks for the memories Ric.

[@krisone5253]

Ric FLAIR has the scar's of a WRESTLING LIFETIME! 💪ovw 🌐

[@mexiwolf009]

“The best, I’m proud of it. Red is green 😂😂😂😂😂”

[@JohnFFox12]

Breaks my heart when he cries, I wish we could do it all over again . He brought me so much fun watching him wrestle thru the years. I knew the time would come when he had to retire, for me that sucks so bad I knew it then and now. I miss the 80's wrestling it will never be as good as it was then. I'm glad I got to be alive and see it. I miss Ric wrestling every time I see wrestling in the T.V. he was and is the GOAT thanks for letting me come along on the ride Ric.

[@Lurvy1963]

The interview definitely showed a more human side to Ric Flair. I never thought I'd see an interview where he became very emotional of some previous and painful memory he experienced. It shows that he was the best in the sport (not sports entertainment) of pro wrestling. After seeing this interview, I am looking forward to seeing The Wrestler with Mickey Roarke. Flair's passion for wrestling was indeed incredible!

[@vparetti]

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!

[@labanachecklowery5662]

Whether he was good or bad Ric Flair have always been a childhood hero of mine

[@hoppiemacv8604]

Thank You Rick! I've been a fan of you since the Boogie Woogy Man & The Assassins! Even sweeter you are North Carolinian
