Ric Flair Retires
posted by The Joe
Nothing to do with music or movie news, but screw it - Ric Flair has just retired from professional wrestling, upon losing his match at Wrestlemania XXIV against Shawn Michaels.
Flair does so after 35 years in the sports entertainment business and with an unprecedented 16 world title runs under his belt throughout the organizations of NWA, WCW, and WWE.
Quite simply, he was the best.
RichmanVA: Just to add my two cents, the first great wrestling match I ever saw was Ric Flair VS. Ricky Steamboat at Clash of the Champions VI in 1989. Steamboat beat Flair in a 2 out of 3 falls match that lasted the entire 60 minute time limit and it is still probably my favorite match of all time. I agree with The Joe. He was, quite simply, the best. WOOOO!!!!!!
