5 real-life pro wrestling couples, and 5 that were fake

Real Love: Ric Flair and Fifi the Maid

It's a love story so strange it could only happen in pro wrestling.

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, WCW decided to cash in on Ric's image as a millionaire playboy by assigning him a valet, Fifi the Maid. Her main job was to look pretty and dust around the set of Flair's A Flair for the Gold talk show.

Despite on-screen appearances to the contrary, the two were never an item in the real world...back then. Fifi stopped working for WCW and Ric married another woman, and that was that.

But then, many years later, the two would reconnect and romance bloomed for real. Ric is now engaged to Fifi, who goes by her real name Wendy these days.

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
