71 years ago today, an OT favorite was born - Wooo

Go woooo on a bitch

The man has definitely gotten the most out of the extended warranty on his body.

If you ever have the opportunity to read about the Flair in North Korea story, you should. It’s fascinating.

Of all the wrasslers to have hit 70, he’s one I’m shocked at.

As a pro-wrestling star, he pretended to be far weaker and more fragile than he was in real life.

e.g.: The guy "No sold" a plane crash. His rig crashes, he survives, proceeds immediately to the arena to pretend to be a mere mortal (AKA does his job), then goes to the hospital (he was properly just going to check on the pilot make sure his recovery was going well).

When I was watching him as a little kid, I had a low opinion of him; thought he was a douche-bag and an arse. That's because he's always brought a strong acting/cinema game. Obviously, I hold him in much higher regard now.

Flair vs Steamboat
Flair vs Sting
Flair vs Hart
Flair vs Kerry Von Erich
Flair vs Nikita K


What great matches.

Crazy that he’s the only one still alive from this gif:

He lives and drives a white Cayenne Porsche in Charlotte, NC.

Don’t vilify me, but I’ve met him and he’s a HUGE chode... his real personality isn’t far from his wrestler persona

He is all time great. And right under him is Randy MachoMan Savage. There will never be another Ric Flair.
