Wooooo! The Nature Boy’s still got it!
It’s truly unfortunate that pro wrestling isn’t exactly what it once was. Instead of stars like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, and Stone Cold Steve Austin, there are a ton of wrestlers that lack the same kind of charisma that made old school wrestling so exciting to watch. That said, it doesn’t mean the new school wrestlers are complete trash, just that it’s hard to compete with those who came before them. While the matches themselves may be rehearsed and scripted, pro wrestlers can still be considered athletes. Not only that, but they have to be able to put more than two words together. One of the best in the game at both performing in the squared circle and on the mic was all time legend Ric Flair.
One of the best talkers in the game, Ric Flair was a performer through and through. Back in the day if you needed someone to hype up a match then you didn’t have to search far and wide for a wrestler capable of injecting excitement into a bout. Ric Flair was a fast talking and charismatic figure in the world of pro wrestling. He also knew how to perform some demanding physical feats inside the squared circle.
Flying through the air and being slammed on the canvas isn’t as easy as some would believe. A wrestler must put himself through a serious strength and conditioning program to ensure that their bodies don’t break under the pressure.
Staying active is a necessity to remain on top of your game and Ric Flair is a man who knows that well. He understands it so well in fact that he’s still training hard to this day. Check out the Instagram post below that features the all time great performing an impressive deadlift in the gym.
