#6 Ric Flair - 2001

WOOOOOO
WOOOOOO

'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time, if not the greatest.

After wrestling for WCW until the very end, Flair would sign with WWE to return as an on-camera character in October 2001, and returning to TV in November.

Ric Flair initially returned to be the new storyline co-owner of WWE along with Vince McMahon, an angle that helped bring in the brand extension.

Flair would last just over two months as the General manager of RAW, before losing an ownership match to Vince McMahon. The following week, Flair announced his intention to return to the ring, full-time.

Over the next near six years, Flair would become the WWE Intercontinental Champion, a three-time Tag Team Champion, would form a memorable partnership with Triple H and later Evolution.

Flair would also have some very thrilling matches with Triple H, The Rock, The Undertaker, Edge, Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels, among more, including his incredible final WWE match with HBK at WrestleMania 24.

Not bad for someone who was already a 16 time World Heavyweight Champion before his comeback.
