Ric Flair
Bio
"To be the man, you gotta beat the man," the world renown motto of one of the most celebrated legends and champions in all of sports entertainment. Ric Flair has been the man for over three decades. "Slick Ric" gives off the aura of a world class, one of a kind cocky and brilliantly gifted champ. While Flair can match hold and move with the best, he often chooses to go the extra mile in securing wins using any and every cheat in the book, giving him the notorious reputation as the dirtiest player in the game.
Indeed, Flair has made a name for himself by being the best of the best in every walk of life in and away from the ring. Dressing in tailor made suits, seducing gorgeous women and flying after main events to party in trendy hotspots across the world, Flair is everything you have always wanted to be, but aren't -- and he's often revels in rubbing it in anyone's face that isn't in his elite inner circle.
It almost seems fitting that Flair first made his mark as a champion in the era of decadence that was the 1980s. Typically going the distance on any given night, Flair developed a reputation as the "60 Minute Man" not only with his adversaries but with the ladies as well.
Considered by many as sports entertainment's most celebrated star, Flair has made a career out of big fight main event clashes, which have led him to an exceptional 16-time reign as WWE/WCW Champion, making an impact in WCW/NWA as well WWE for nearly 25 years. It was also during this period that Flair founded the Four Horsemen with his long-time running buddy "Double A" Arn Anderson. The first group of its kind, the Horsemen did what they wanted when they wanted how they wanted, winning championship gold, and dominating nearly all that crossed their path. However, this wouldn't be the last revolutionary cornerstone faction Flair would co-found.
However, Flair would further cement his reputation as the dirtiest player in the game and a brilliant strategist by aligning with Triple H as a manager and wrestler in Triple H's pursuit of the World Heavyweight Championship and conquest to be "The Game." Eventually, this led to the two arguably greatest World Heavyweight Champions forming a new cornerstone faction known as Evolution. Recruiting two of the hottest up-and-comers in all of sports entertainment, Triple H with Flair by his side filled the third and fourth slots in Evolution with third generation superstar Randy Orton and "the Animal" Batista. For nearly two years, the group -- decked out in suits, flying on private jets to clubs all over the world and taking championship gold in the singles and tag team division, redefined domination as the top group in WWE and on RAW. Regrettably, the two young prospects Orton and Batista would go on to buck the boss of Evolution, Triple H leading to a turbulent 2004 and 2005 for "The Game" and Flair.
Flair's recent return to RAW has seen him matched up with another brash young newcomer, Carlito and just last week, he received a brutal beating from former best friend, Triple H.
