Description: Ric Flair was wrestling in the 1980s. He had the moves, the talking ability, the style and the ability to have you love or loathe him whenever he wanted you to. Flair never needed to hold all of the world championships that he did in his career, but the fact that he did is a testament to how great he really is. Without him, there is no World Championship Wrestling, no Monday Night Wars, no Four Horsemen and no Evolution. That's just scratching the surface.
