Place in History - You can't deny the greatness of Ric Flair. The "Nature Boy" has done all that a wrestler can ever hope to do. He had a company built on his shoulders, he created a numerous top stars, he had more World title reigns than any wrestler before him and he has been both a top heel and top face. One could list off the accomplishments and positive attributes for hours, but I'll stop there. He's one of the few stars that has been able to keep up in the rapidly changing WWF-era and largely due to his traditional mentality, natural charisma and undeniable legendary status. Flair became the first WCW star (that wasn't bought out immediately) that the WWF gambled on by buying out his contract. He continues to be an important character on their television and it seems his star will never fade anytime soon.
