Ric Flair is one of the most decorated wrestlers of all time. A man who shone in the days of the territories, where he embodied the idea of the travelling champion who travelled from town to town, living hard and wrestling harder, and became one of the only superstars of that time who translated to the era of global television.
Through feuding with Dusty Rhodes, jumping ship from WCW to WWE, being a part of the Monday Night Wars, and having a glittering final run after WWE’s flawed Invasion angle, Slick Ric had three whole decades of being one of wrestling’s main characters. But how well does his body of work stand the test of time, and how good was he actually?
Join us as we cast our critical eyes over his legendary feuds, moments, and promos, take a look at how some of the biggest wrestlers in the game today are still stealing the tricks of The Dirtiest Player In The Game, and try to find the holes in one of the most well-respected and pioneering wrestlers to ever stand in the squared circle.
