Flair was introduced to the business by the Andersons and soon joined Verne Gagne's training school in 1971. Flair debuted in 1972 in a time limit draw with George Gasaski. Flair, like many others, had difficulty working with Verne Gagne and moved to the National Wrestling Alliance in 1974 to work for Wahoo McDaniel, who he became great friends with. Flair dyed his hair blonde, wore colourful tights and became "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. He took Buddy Rogers' trademark figure-4 leg drop, but relied heavily on a top rope kneedrop as his finishing maneuver. Flair won his first singles title, the Mid Atlantic TV Title, from Paul Jones in 1974 but tragedy struck when Flair, Johnny Valentine and others were involved in a plane crash that nearly ended Flair's life and career. Flair was tenacious, though, and he recovered and made his return to the NWA in 1976 as a fan favourite. Flair brought several "get well" cards to the ring and, in what is nothing short of heinous, tore them up and became one of the most hated heels in the industry. Flair began teaming with Greg Valentine against the Andersons in a heel versus heel tag team feud. They won the NWA World Tag Team Titles in December of 1976 and Flair regained the Television Title. Flair wrestled his first series against Rick Steamboat in 1977 with STeamboat beating Flair for the TV Title. Flair went on to win the United States Title from Bobo Brazil and had a second reign as NWA World Tag Team Champions with Greg Valentine in late 1978. So hated was Flair that long-time heel Blackjack Mulligan turned face to engage in a feud with the Nature Boy over the United States Title before Flair continued feuding with Rick Steamboat, who traded the US Title with him. 

    Flair turned face after having a falling out with Paul Jones and began teaming with Rick Steamboat, winning the NWA World Tag Team Titles from Jones and Baron Von Raschke in 1979. That summer, the original Nature Boy Buddy Rogers came onto the scene to attack Flair and become the manager for a heel stable of wrestlers including Jimmy Snuka, John Studd and Ken Patera. Flair defeated Jimmy Snuka to win the US Title and had a World Tag Team Title reign with former friend AND foe Blackjack Mulligan. Flair reluctantly took Greg Valentine back as his partner in a feud with Snuka and the Iron Sheik, and Flair's trepedation proved valid when Valentine turned on Flair. The two would wage war over the US Title in 1980 with Valentine taking the title, and Flair taking it back for a fifth reign as champion. With Valentine dispatched, Roddy Piper challenged Flair for the title and was victorious. Piper, as a heel, joined with Valentine, Ivan Koloff and the Andersons to try and destroy Flair, but it wouldn't work. 

    Ric Flair went on to become the man for the first time in 1981, defeating the American Dream Dusty Rhodes for the NWA World Title in Kansas City, Missourri after Harley Race had vouched for Flair as the next big thing. Flair worked an extremely busy schedule, defending the title, sometimes, twice daily in hour long displays. He met and defeated Ted DiBiase, Bruiser Brody, Dusty Rhodes, Tommy Rich, Jerry Lawler, Kerry Von Erich and a host of others during his first historic reign and had a Champion versus Champion match against WWF Champion Bob Backlund in 1982. Flair lost the title to a masked Dusty Rhodes, known as the Midnight Rider, in February of 1983 but the title was returned to Flair since Dusty was suspended. Flair dropped the gold to Harley Race in June of 1983 and it wasn't long before Race put out a contract on Flair. Cowboy Bob Orton and Dick Slater helped Race brutalize Flair, who then announced he would have to retire due to those injuries. Flair changed his mind and beat the trio down with a baseball bat before pinning Harley Race to win his second NWA World Heavyweight Title at the first Starrcade in 1983. Flair traded the title with Harley Race during a tour of Australia, but returned to the United States as the NWA World Champion. He dropped the gold to Kerry von Erich in May of 1984 during a tribute show to the honour of David von Erich who had passed away. Flair regained the title in May during a tour of Japan and held the gold for two years straight, defeating Rhodes, Tully Blanchard, Ricky Steamboat, Wahoo McDaniel, Sgt. Slaughter, Ronnie Garvin, Stan Hansen and others. Flair then defeated Dusty Rhodes at Starrcade 1984 when the referee stopped the match due to a gash on Rhodes' head. Flair would make it known that he beat Dusty "half to death" to retain his title. 

    Flair was always a tweener, meaning he wrestled as both heel and fan favourite depending on the circumstances. He began feuding with Ivan and Nikita Koloff in the summer of 1985 and defeated Nikita in the main event at the first Great American Bash in 1985. Flair began feuding with United States Champion Magnum TA. Flair gave Magnum a brand new suit on an edition of NWA wrestling so that he could look like a champion. Magnum tore it up and Flair brutalized him, leading to a vicious feud that involved Ole and Arn Anderson, who were billed as the cousins of Ric Flair. Flair made his heel status official in September of 1985. Flair had just defeated Nikita Koloff in a steel cage title defense and was being attacked by the Russians when Dusty Rhodes made the save. Flair, instead of thanking Dusty, was furious and locked himself and the Andersons in the steel cage with Dusty, where they broke Dusty's ankle. Dusty defeated Flair at Starrcade 1985 for the NWA World Title but, since a second referee counted the fall instead of the original, the title was returned to Flair. 

    Then... on a fateful night in wrestling, Ric Flair, the Andersons, Tully Blanchard and James J. Dillon gathered together in a joint feud against Magnum TA, Dusty Rhodes and other NWA fan favourites and out of Arn Anderson's mouth popped the words "FOUR HORSEMEN". The name stuck and wrestling had its first elite wrestling stable. Ole was injured, leaving three Horsemen through much of 1986 before returning to reform the FOUR Horsemen once again. In the summer of 1986, Flair went forward with 10 title defenses against 10 different wrestlers during the Great American Bash Tour, defeating Wahoo McDaniel, Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, Ronnie Garvin, both Road Warriors and both members of the Rock-n-Roll Express. Dusty took the NWA World Title from Flair in a Cage Match in July of 1986 but Flair regained it in August after Tully Blanchard attacked Rhodes. In a rematch, Flair took Dusty's woman, Baby Doll, in a double cross just before the infamous parking lot beat down of Dusty Rhodes that was echoed by the NWO several times during the mid 1990s in WCW. Flair feuded with newly fan favourite Nikita Koloff, Rhodes, and the Road Warriors. He beat Koloff at Starrcade 1986. 

    The Horsemen lost Ole Anderson in early 1987 and quickly replaced him with a young Lex Luger. The new Horsemen kept feuding with Rhodes, Koloff, the Road Warriors and also Barry Windham. In the first ever War Games match in the summer of 1987, Dusty Rhodes, Nikita Koloff, the Road Warriors and Paul Ellering defeated Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger and James J. Dillon. They had a rematch later that month with the Ray Traylor, also known as the Big Bossman, replacing Dillon under a mask as the War Machine. Flair went on to feud with the Garvin Family as he tried to woo Jimmy Garvin's valet Precious. Ronnie Garvin defeated Flair for the NWA World Title in September of 1987 but Flair regained it at Starrcade 1987 in November. Shortly after, Lex Luger turned on the Horsemen to challenge Flair for the title and Sting joined the NWA as well. In March of 1988, Sting and Flair battled in the legendary 45 minute draw at the first Clash of the Champions, running head to head against Wrestlemania IV. Barry Windham, Luger's partner by that time, turned heel a few weeks later to replace him in the 4 Horsemen. In a historic period, Ric Flair held the NWA World Title, Windham held the US Title and Anderson and Blanchard held the World Tag Team Titles. When Anderson and Blanchard left for the WWF in 1988, Flair and Windham were known as the Horsemen and had classic batltes with the Midnight Express. 

    In February of 1989, Ricky Steamboat made his return to the NWA to join Eddie Gilbert against Flair and Windham in a tag team match where Steamboat pinned Flair. Flair fired JJ Dillon and brought in Hiro Matsuda as the Horsemen manager, though the Horsemen name soon got lost in favour of Matsuda's group name, the Yamazaki Corporation. Steamboat pinned Flair for the NWA World title in February of 1989 and soon after, Matsuda and company left the NWA, leaving Flair as a solo act for the first time in several years. Flair failed to regain the title in a 2 out of 3 falls match at Clash of the Champions in April of 1989 but was able to defeat Steamboat at Wrestlewar 1989 in May before shaking Steamboat's hand to make a full face turn. After the match, Terry Funk attacked Flair and gave him a piledriver through a table to put Flair out of action until July. During this time, Sting feuded with Terry Funk as well leading to an all star pairing of Sting and Flair against Terry Funk, the Great Muta and their manager Gary Hart. Flair returned to defeat Funk at the 1989 Great American Bash and then teamed with Sting at the first Halloween Havoc to defeat Funk and Muta inside the Thundercage with Bruno Sammartino as special guest referee. Ole Anderson also returned for the match, serving as Flair and Sting's corner man. Flair defeated Funk in an "I Quit Match" at the November Clash of the Champions that ended with Funk shaking Flair's hand in a show of respect. After the bout, Lex Luger, Muta, Gary Hart and the Dragon Master attacked Flair, who was saved by Sting and Terry Funk. 

    Arn Anderson made his return to the NWA to join Flair and Ole Anderson in a group but they didn't quite use the Horsemen name. Only when Flair asked Sting to join them did the Horsemen name re-emerge in 1990. It lasted about one month due to Sting's refusal to forfeit a title shot against Flair. The Horsemen brutalized Sting and was set to have a high profile match against Flair when he injured himself in a cage match, putting him on the shelf. Flair defended against Luger instead at Wrestlewar 1990. The Horsemen lost Ole Anderson to retirement so joining Flair and Arn Anderson were Barry Windham and Sid Vicious. The new Horsemen were dangerous, but not dangerous enough as Sting captured the NWA World Title at the 1990 Great American Bash in July. Afterwards, Flair and Anderson focused on Doom's NWA World Tag Team Titles unsuccessfully. Sting began receiving attacks from the Black Scorpion, leading to a match at Starrcade 1990 where the Scorpion was unmasked and revealed as Ric Flair. Flair would win his 8th World Title from Sting in Janaury and due to the creation of the WCW World Title, held two titles, in effect, simultaneously. The WCW separated from the NWA by 1991 and Flair lost the belt to Tatsumi Fuginami in Japan. WCW continued to recognize Flair while the NWA recognized Fuginami. Flair went on to defeat Fuginami for the NWA Title in May. 

    All was not well in Ric Flair Country, though. New WCW head honchos wanted Flair to take a pay cut and move to the mid-card. Flair refused to job to Lex Luger and Barry Windham, resulting in his being fired. Flair was still the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, though, and since WCW was part of the larger NWA, it became a very heated legal battle. Flair legally owned the NWA belt itself, and took it with him... 

    Ric Flair joined Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation in the summer of 1991, bringing the NWA World Title belt and claiming to be the "Real World Champion". WCW bought the belt from Flair for three times the price Flair paid for it, and the WWF began to censor "the belt" which was actually a WWF tag team belt since Flair no longer had the real NWA belt. Flair took Bobby Heenan as his manager and Mr. Perfect as his "executive consultant" and began feuding with old rivals like Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and a new rival: HULK HOGAN. Flair and Hogan were, without question, the top two draws of the 1980s and the fans were screaming for them to collide. Ric Flair made his first WWF pay per view appearance at Survivor Series 1991, becoming the sole survivor in the opening contest. He then went on to interfere in the WWF World Title match later in the card, sliding a steel chair under the bottom rope so that the Undertaker could tombstone Hogan and pin him for the title. Flair tried to intefere in the rematch at "This Tuesday in Texas" but Hogan rallied to regain his title. The finish was controversial and the WWF vacated the title. 

    WWF President Jack Tunney put the title up for grabs in the 1992 Royal Rumble match, which Flair won after lasting over an hour. Hulk Hogan and Sid Justice defeated Ric Flair and the Undertaker a few weeks later on Saturday Night's Main Event in preparation for the scheduled Hogan-Flair Wrestlemania VIII main event. The match was cancelled when Hogan decided to retire, leaving the door open for Randy Savage to meet and defeat Flair at the show. The Nature Boy would feud with Savage and his wife Elizabeth throughout the summer and when the Ultimate Warrior was named the #1 contender, Flair and Mr. Perfect began to make claims that one man had purchased their help in a managerial role for Summer Slam. Of course, this was a hoax and Flair and Perfect went on to brutalize both men. Flair was able to regain the WWF title a few weeks later from Savage on WWF Superstars as the WWF prepared for a Warrior-Savage versus Flair-Razor Ramon match at Survivor Series. The Warrior, ever the prima donna, quit the WWF and left Savage without a partner. Savage picked Flair's "executive consultant", Mr. Perfect, leading to a messy dissolution of the existing Heenan family. Ric Flair dropped the WWF Title to Bret Hart in October, and at Survivor Series Savage and Perfect were able to defeat Flair and Ramon. Flair took part in the 1993 Royal Rumble Match and was eliminated by Mr. Perfect. One night later, Flair's WWF career ended when Perfect beat Flair in a Retirement Match on Monday Night Raw. 

    Ric Flair rejoined WCW, creating an interview segment called "A Flair for the Gold" and brought in a maid, Fifi. He joined with old friends Arn  and Ole Anderson while he waited for his no-compete clause to expire with the WWF. Flair returned to the ring to defeat Barry Windham for the NWA World Heavyweight Title in July of 1993, but lost it in September to Rick Rude. Ric Flair went on to challenge Vader for the WCW World Title and defeated him at Starrcade 1993 where Flair vowed to retire if he lost. Ric Flair began to court Hulk Hogan behind the scenes and was instrumental in bringing him into WCW in the summer of 1994. Ric Flair turned heel on WCW television in preparation for Hogan's arrival, defeating Sting to unify the WCW International Title and the WCW World Title at Clash of the Champions and taking on Sherri Martel as his manager. Hogan debuted at the 1994 Bash at the Beach, beating Flair for the WCW World Title and then defeated Flair in a retirement match at the 1994 Halloween Havoc inside a steel cage. Would Flair be gone for good? 

    Ric Flair appeared in the audience for a Clash of the Champions bout pitting Hogan and Savage against Kevin Sullivan and Brutus Beefcake and soon began making noise that he would return to manage Ric Flair. Flair rejoined WCW regular programming as Vader's manager, attacking Hogan and Savage so often that the Mega Powers demanded Flair be reinstated. Flair was indeed reinstated and the Mega Powers defeated Vader and Flair at Slamboree 1995. Ric Flair went on to feud with Savage, who beat him in a Lifeguard Lumberjack Match at the 1995 Bash at the Beach. Arn Anderson even rejoined Flair's camp to help Flair in a feud with Vader, who defeated the pair in a handicap match at Clash of the Champions in 1995. After the match, Flair blamed Anderson for the loss leading to the two having a feud for the first time. Anderson beat Flair at the 1995 Fall Brawl with help from Brian Pillman and it wasn't long before Flair was calling on Sting to help in the feud. Sting was reluctant at first, saying Flair had double crossed him before but eventually he gave in. At Halloween Havoc 1995, Flair and Sting were defeated by Anderson and Pillman when Flair faked an injury and no showed the match. When Flair did finally show up, he sucker punched Sting and reformed the Horsemen with Anderson and Pillman. 

    Ric Flair was defeated by Sting at World War 3 in November of 1995, but Flair was able to defeat Sting and Lex Luger in a triple threat match at Starrcade to earn a title shot later in the evening against the Macho Man. In a huge surprise, Flair beat Savage for the World Heavyweight Title. When Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage brought out Woman and Elizabeth at the 1996 Clash of the Champions, it looked as though Flair was finally outplayed. It was not to be as Woman double crossed her team to rejoin Flair and the Horsemen. It wasn't long before Chris Benoit also joined the Horsemen. At Superbrawl VI, Flair beat Randy Savage for the WCW World Title one more time with help from Miss Elizabeth before engaging in a storyline where Flair taunted Savage with his x-wife, who boasted that she took all of Savage's money. The Horsemen worked with the Dungeon of Doom against Hogan and Savage, but when that friendship imploded, the Giant defeated Flair for the WCW World Title on Nitro. 

    In the summer of 1996, Ric Flair got up to his old tricks again by flirting with the wife of WCW Nitro announcer Steve "Mongo" McMichael. The x-football player decided to get physical, bringing in Kevin Greene to challenge Ric Flair and Arn Anderson at the 1996 Great American Bash. Making the deal sweeter, Bobby Heenan returned to manage the Horsemen for one night only while Randy Savage managed the football stars. With Brian Pillman out of the Horsemen, a spot was vacant and Steve McMichael and Debra took the money, joining the Horsemen together and allowing the Horsemen to beat Kevin Greene with ease. Flair went on to win the United States Title once again at the 1996 Bash at the Beach with Woman, Elizabeth and Debra now on his arm. The New World Order was formed later that night, causing Flair and the Horsemen to become fan favourites and wage war with the NWO at WarGames 1996 with Sting and Lex Luger as their partners. The NWO won the match and soon after, Flair was injured during a match with Kensuke Sasaki in Japan. Flair left WCW television and was stripped of the United States title. 

    Ric Flair returned in March of 1997, rejoining the Horsemen and partnering with Roddy Piper and Kevin Greene to defeat the Outsiders and Syxx at Slamboree in May. Piper and Flair became a semi-regular team and challenged, unsuccessfully, the Outsiders at the 1997 Great American Bash for the World Tag Team Titles. During the bout, though, Flair had left Piper alone to battle the Outsiders while he chased Syxx and Piper wasn't happy about it. Piper and Flair's team imploded on Nitro the next night, leading to Piper defeating Flair at the 1997 Bash at the Beach. Flair kept on being a fan favourite, or tweener, and went down in a second straight loss to the NWO at the 1997 Fall Brawl during WarGames when Curt Hennig, who replaced the injured Arn Anderson, turned on them and joined the NWO. Hennig and Flair would reprise their feud and wage war in several high profile bouts. Bret Hart would wrestle his first WCW supercard in 1998, Souled Out, defeating Flair. After the match, Flair was ripped off of WCW television due to conflicts with Eric Bischoff and a lot of noise was made about a WWF return. 

    Flair and Bischoff put their differences aside and 10 months later, Flair returned to WCW with his son Reid to go through a storyline pitting Bischoff against the Flair family en masse. Reid defeated Bischoff on Nitro, but Bischoff beat Flair at the 1998 Starrcade. The next night, though, Flair beat Bischoff to become the President of WCW. Ric and David Flair defeated Barry Windham and Curt Hennig at Souled Out in 1999 and, one night later, David Flair beat Eric Bischoff in a match. WCW Champion Hulk Hogan successfully defended the title against Flair at Superbrawl 1999 but Flair was able to take the gold from Hogan at Uncensored 1999 in a First Blood Match. WCW became more chaotic and Dallas Page beat Flair, Sting and Hogan in a four way dance at Spring Stampede to become the new WCW Champion. Flair went on to have pay per view bouts with Page, Piper and Sting before teaming up with referee Charles Robinson in a losing effort to Randy Savag and Madusa on Nitro in May. Flair did manage to retain his Presidency of WCW, defeating Piper at the 1999 Great American Bash but Flair lost it a few days later to Sting! Ric Flair wrestled tons of dream bouts in various matches with Page, Sting, Brt Hart, Randy Savage and others. He beat Terry Funk in a Texas Death Match at Superbrawl 2000 and had a series of bouts with real-life political enemy Shane Douglas. Ric Flair regained the WCW World Title from Jeff Jarrett in May of 2000 on Nitro, but lost it back shortly after. Flair began feuding with new creative director Vince Russo, leading to a Steel Cage match where Russo beat Flair on Nitro. David Flair turned on Ric and joined Russo to defeat Ric and Reid Flair on Nitro in a retirement match, sending Flair out of WCW for the second time. Ric Flair returned in February of 2001 after even more legal battles with Eric Bischoff in a referee capacity for a match between Jeff Jarrett and Dustin Rhodes. Flair turned heel and teamed with Jarrett in a losing effort to Dusty and Dustin at WCW's last pay per view, ironically titled GREED. Flair wrestled the final match in the history of WCW when he lost to Sting in the main event of the final WCW Monday Nitro on March 26th 2001. It would seem that Ric Flair's day had come to an end. 

    OF COURSE... you can't keep a good man down! The Nature Boy made his triumphant return to wrestling in November of 2001 for the World Wrestling Federation, becoming the on-air foil of Vince McMahon as the new co-owner of the company. Flair joined with Steve Austin to feud with McMahon and the deadly Undertaker. Flair defeated McMahon in a Street Fight at the 2002 Royal Rumble, but was defeated by the Undertaker at Wrestlemania XVIII in a no holds barred grudge match with Arn Anderson making a special appearance to give the Undertaker his trademark spine buster. In March, the WWF underwent a brand extension program where Flair took control of RAW and Vince took control of SmackDown. Flair signed Stone Cold Steve Austin, the NWO and others but quickly turned heel to feud with Steve Austin after bungling a referee job that let the Undertaker defeat Austin at WWF Backlash 2002. Flair joined the NWO... sort of... in May before wrestling his final title match with WWE Champion Hulk Hogan in a losing effort on RAW. Flair and the Big Show lost to Steve Austin in a handicap match at Judgment Day and in June, Flair lost a match to Austin where the loser would become the winner's assistant. Stone Cold quit the WWF before the stipulation took effect and Flair became a fan favourite, cutting a promo against Austin's decision to take his ball and go home. Flair gambled his 50% stock in the WWE and lost to Vince McMahon in a blood-bath on a June edition of RAW, before feuding with former friend Chris Benoit and Eddy Guerrero. Flair wrestled regularly on RAW in matches with Steven Richards, Brock Lesnar, Rob VanDam, the Undertaker, and a host of others. He began a vicious feud with Chris Jericho, leading to Flair defeating Jericho at Summer Slam 2002 with the figure-4. 

    In September of 2002, Flair challenged HHH for the new RAW version of the World TItle. Flair became a jobber of sorts and eventually "snapped" at Unforgiven in September of 2002, turning heel to beome the manager for Triple-H. Flair and Triple-H feuded against Rob VanDam, Kane, Bubba Ray Dudley and others. Flair soon added Batista to his stable but kept wrestling himself, winning the WWE World Tag Team Titles with Batista as his partner. Randy Orton joined the group in 2003 and officially set the stage for EVOLUTION. At one point, all four Evolution members held gold, paying homage to the Horsemen of old. Prior to a March edition of RAW, Ric Flair got a measure of personal satisfaction by punching Eric Bischoff in the mouth backstage, off camera and unscripted. Flair served as a manager for HHH during Wrestlemania XIX but temaed with HHH and Jericho to defeat Booker T, Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash at Backlash. Flair began feuding with the Hurricane and teased a split with HHH on the may 19th edition of RAW when he challenged HHH for the World Title. HHH was successful but the match proved Flair still had gas in his tank. The locker room emptied out in an emotional tribute to Flair, who was hoisted on the shoulders of everyone and cheered as tears flowed freely. 

    Triple-H and Ric Flair teased the split, but when Flair turned on Shawn Michaels it was called off and the Evolution members feuded with Michaels, Nash, RVD, Bubba Ray Dudley and others. Flair also had feuds with Bill Goldberg and won the Tag Team Titles with Batista before losing those to Booker T and Rob VanDam. Evolution gradually dissolved, first with Randy Orton leaving the squad and then Batista. When HHH left to recover from injuries, Flair truned face to feud with Kurt Angle and Carlito and took Shawn Michaels as his partner. The two also feuded with Chris Masters. In September of 2005, Ric Flair made history by winning the WWE Intercontinental title from Carlito. When Triple-H made his comeback, it seemed as though he would be a fan favourite along with Flair. The pair beat Masters and Carlito on RAW's Homecoming in October of 2005, but afterwards HHH brutalized Flair and left him a bloody mess. The two would wage war at Taboo Tuesday inside a Steel Cage where Flair beat HHH to retain his title. The Game beat Flair, though, at Survivor Series 2005 in a Last Man Standing, non-title match. 

    Flair began feuding with Edge and Lita as well as Kurt Angle, the Coach, and other WWE heels. Flair finally lost the WWE Intercontinental Title in February of 2006 to Shelton Benjamin. Flair go trevenge by pinning Benjamin to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania XXII, where Flair took a huge superplex off the top of the ladder and had to be taken out of the match. Flair, always a competitor, came back to complete the bout but did not win the title shot. One night later, Flair was attacked by WWE newcomer Umaga and his manager Armando Alejandro Estrada and Umaga beat Flair at Backlash. In the summer of 2006, Mick Foley and Ric Flair consumated their professional rivalry with an in ring war. Flair beat Foley in a 2/3 Falls Match at Vengeance in June with Foley playing the heel. Foley soon proclaimed Edge the new Hardcore Champion and began appearing with Edge and Lita against Flair. 

    Ric Flair challenged the Big Show in a historic ECW World Title Match in July of 2006, but lost the match. Flair then began feuding with Johnny Nitro, Melina and Mick Foley culminating in an I Quit Match at Summerslam which Flair also won over Foley. Flair began feuding with the Spirit Squad on WWE RAW, bringing in legendary friends like IRS, Ted DiBiase, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes and Rowdy Roddy Piper to help. Flair was set to challenge the Spirit Squad for the World Tag Team Titles at Taboo Tuesday and it was up to the fans who would be his partner via a vote! Roddy Piper was chosen as the partner and together, Piper and Flair took the gold! Piper was injured, though, and the pair lost the titles just before Piper went to have back surgery and, also, cancer treatment. Ric Flair teamed with Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes and Ron Simmons, with Arn Anderson in their corner, to defeat the Spirit Squad at Survivor Series 2006. Flair went on to team with HHH, Shawn Michaels and John Cena to defeat Edge, Randy Orton, Kenny Doane and Big Show on RAW as well. Flair continues to wrestle in the WWE, keeping this profile an open book! 

    Flair has had one helluva career and it doesn't seem that it will end anytime soon. He keeps wrestling and already proved he can be a top notch manager. They called him the 60 minute man, wrestling for an hour and claiming equally impressive love making skills. Who can deny that Ric Flair belongs here in the UWOW Hall of Fame?
