Richard Morgan Fliehr (born February 25, 1949, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) better known by his ring name, Ric Flair, is a retired American professional wrestler. Also known as "The Nature Boy," Flair is among the most well known wrestlers in the world, has been one of wrestling's biggest stars since the late 1970s and is considered by many as the greatest wrestler of the modern era of professional wrestling. Flair is recognized by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, although his actual tally of world championship reigns varies by source. In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—from 1989-1990 and again in 1994. |
