Ric Flair

Richard Morgan Fliehr, better known as Ric Flair, is a legendary American professional wrestler, celebrated by fans and critics alike as one of the greatest in the sport’s history. His illustrious career has spanned nearly five decades, showcasing his talents in numerous wrestling promotions including Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), WWE, and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

Flair is widely recognized for his charismatic persona, often referred to as "The Nature Boy" or "Slick Ric," and he played a pivotal role in the formation of the iconic Four Horsemen stable alongside Tully Blanchard and the Andersons, under the management of JJ Dillon. Over the years, he became a major draw for pay-per-view events, headlining the prestigious NWA/WCW Starrcade ten times and co-headlining WrestleMania VIII in 1992 after winning the Royal Rumble.

His accolades include a record six PWI Wrestler of the Year awards and eight Wrestling Observer Newsletter Wrestler of the Year honors, making him the first two-time WWE Hall of Fame inductee—first in 2008 as an individual and again in 2012 with The Four Horsemen. Flair is officially recognized by WWE as a 16-time world champion, although some sources suggest he may have held the title as many as 25 times. Additionally, he was the inaugural holder of both the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship, completing the Triple Crown in both WCW and WWE.
