6 WWE Superstars who came back from career-threatening injuries

#3: The Nature Boy survives a Plane ride from hell

The Nature Boy is considered one of the greatest Superstars of all time.

The Nature Boy, Ric Flair is one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time, and his legendary career is practically unmatched.

But four decades ago, the world was almost deprived of the Dirtiest Player in the Game when he was involved in a serious plane crash in October 1975.

The crash left the pilot killed and left fellowed wrestler Johnny Valentine paralyzed, whilst Flair came out of the crash with a broken back and a serious neck injury which left many to believe that he would be finished in the ring.

However, despite the fact Flair was involved in such a huge incident, he was able to return to the ring defying all expectations.

Returning to the ring, Flair showed he had lost very little skill despite nearly dying in the plane crash, and would capture many more championships along the way.

Despite the accident that nearly took his life, Flair would wrestle for over 30 years before retiring in 2008 at WrestleMania 24.
