5 Favourite Old School WWF Wrestlers

Ric Flair: Always looked the part and delivered in the ring too

No other man better encapsulated the glitz, glamour and outrageous pageantry of the 1970s and 1980s more than Ric Flair.

Decked out in a stunning array of extremely costly and extravagant robes, Flair looked every bit the megastar, as he flew from arena to arena in private jets and limousines.

It was a role that the real-life Richard Fliehr lived for real, which is why he played it so immaculately for over four decades.

It was a gimmick very much of its time, which is why when the likes of Bobby Roode dons a robe and tries to portray a similar character, it seems dated in 2018.

Although Flair's daughter Charlotte wears even more extravagant robes to the ring when she competes, it is in tribute to her father and not part of her characterisation.

Flair was of his time but what a time it was. "The Man" is the only double Hall of Fame inductee in WWE history, enshrined in 2008 and 2012.
