4) Ric Flair: Stylin and Profilin….In Real Life
What made Ric Flair’s gimmick so intriguing was the fact that he was playing a role that he actually also played in real life. He truly was a “limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun”. This way of life is a huge reason for Flair’s four previous failed marriages. His failed marriages weren’t the only times his kiss-stealing, wheelin n’ dealin ways got him in trouble, though. In 2002, during the infamous “Plane Ride from Hell”, two Sportjet Flight attendants would file a lawsuit against Flair for being partially nude on the flight. X-Pac recalls a heavily intoxicated Flair going up and down the aisles with a bathrobe and nothing else under. Flair would give people a big “WOOOO”, and proceed to show them what was underneath the robe. According to the flight attendants, Flair sexually assaulted them. According to one attendant, Flair flashed his nakedness to them and placed their hands on his private area. You can’t make this stuff up. At the age of 69, it finally looks like Flair is settling down.
