It's a sad day for sports entertainment. The Nature Boy Ric Flair has retired from the SPORT of professional wrestling. Some get teared up when their favorite quarterback retires. But, THIS man was involved in this sport for 35 years! The man who made phrases like, "To Be the Man, You gotta Beat the Man" and made the best ride "Space Mountain" popular. He was "high riding, styling and profiling". He was "the best their is, the best their was, and the best their ever will be". Ric was inducted into the 2008 Hall of Fame. All I got left to say is... WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I haven't watched wrestling in years. I know by the sound of it you would disagree. But, i grew up watching wrestling at a young age. This was one of the men that I grew up watching and flipping channels late Saturday night, i learned he was retiring and inducted into the Hall of Fame. It was actually quite sad b/c Ric kept crying like a baby. But, 35 years doing what he did, i'd be emotional too. I actually watched wrestling for the first time last night since watching over 8 years ago. It was another tearful Flair thanking the fans and wrestlers from years back. The crowd was all chanting "Thank You Ric". Ok time to go to work...
WHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
