5 WWE Superstars and the reason behind their nicknames

#2. Ric Flair - The Nature Boy

Ric Flair actually earned the nickname The Nature Boy. He didn't just pick it up out of nowhere because it sounded cool. He faced off against the original Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers, and beat him for the honour to be called by the iconic moniker when he was coming up as the next big thing in professional wrestling.

The Nature Boy refers to someone so perfect that he could only be a work of mother nature. Buddy Rogers embodied that in the early days of professional wrestling but that title very much belongs to the 16-time World Champion.
