Ric Flair is undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers of all time and it is safe to say that WWE would never have become the giant we know today without his fundamental contribution. Although the relationship between the former world champion and the Stamford’s federation has cracked a bit in recent years, 'The Nature Boy' continues to be an icon of this business and his legacy will last forever.
However, some of his behaviors in recent times have generated a lot of discussions among fans and insiders. A few years ago, Ric made the shocking decision to return to the ring with Andrade El Idolo and that choice was considered crazy given his health issues.
Although his friends tried to convince him that it was a bad idea, Flair still played that match and even had a small heart attack during the match. The 16-time world champion never wanted to announce his official retirement from wrestling and did not rule out being able to return to the ring in the near future, statements that have alarmed the entire WWE Universe.

In addition, the rumor is always spread on social media that Ric would drink over the limit until he was kicked out of many clubs (particularly in the Water Street area, in Tampa).
“Does Ric Flair keep coming to your restaurant and s****** himself? Man has s*** himself like 6x this year drunk asf at bars and other restaurants. He gets thrown out of Water Street places all the time. Anybody in the service industry having to deal with this s*** too?”* - stated a post on Reddit.
Everyone's hope is that 'The Nature Boy' will take care of his health at this time and avoid harmful behavior for both himself and others.
The former world champion is not on good terms with his daughter Charlotte at the moment either, as has emerged from some rumors spread in recent months.
'The Queen' followed in her father's footsteps to become a WWE icon, a status she still maintains today despite the serious injury she suffered at the end of the 2023 season.
