The second name that comes to mind is the Nature Boy. Ric Flair is arguably the greatest professional wrestler in the history of the business. Flair was just as big as Hogan during the 80s, carrying the NWA on his shoulders, travelling the world and popularising the sport. Flair was worshipped by the fans at that point of time, and was hailed as the crown jewel of the industry. Flair was always known as the ‘Wheelin’, dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ son of a gun’, who took his character a little too seriously.
Ric Flair had a disastrous personal life, from messy divorces to being bankrupt. Flair’s downfall was his own success, which got over his head. Ric Flair had a fantastic career, which was supposed to end during the greatest farewell in the history of the business. Flair wrestled his last match in WWE against the Heart Break Kid at WrestleMania, and the next night was given the most memorable send–off on RAW.
But Flair’s need for money and his expenses demanded him to get out of retirement once his contract with WWE expired, and he started performing once again. Thankfully, Flair signed back with WWE on a legend’s contract, and all the fans hope that he won’t compete in any form again. People would like to remember Flair as one of the greatest performers, not as someone who couldn’t get out before being consumed by the business.
