Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (born Richard Morgan Fliehr on February 25, 1949 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) has dominated the professional wrestling scene for four decades starting in the AWA in 1972. After three years with AWA Flair left for the NWA where he held the NWA Championship nine times. Flair left WCW (a group run by Ted Turner which had just abdicated from the NWA "alliance") in 1991 and had his first run in the WWF including winning the WWF Title in a 30-man Royal Rumble. Flair returned to WCW in 1993 where he stayed until the company was bought out by Vince McMahon's WWF. Flair lost the company's final match on March 26, 2001 to his longtime rival Sting. After a brief hiatus from pro-wrestling Flair returned to the WWF in late 2001 as the "co-owner" of the company. Flair still wrestles in the WWE (the WWF's new name) and has joined forces with multi-time WWE Champion Triple H. Late in 2003, WWE released a three-DVD retrospective of Flair's career, The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection. It became WWE's fastest-selling video package to date. This article is from Wikipedia.
