While this may come as a surprise to modern wrestling fans, Ric Flair spent the majority of the 1980s and 1990s as one of the biggest bad guys in wrestling.

As a member of the Four Horsemen, Flair would use every craven, cowardly, and cunning tactic he could to retain his World Championship. He was also known for fleeing a match if he was losing, knowing he couldn't lose the title on a disqualification.
