Flair was born to entertain and lived up to every word he shouted each week while being interviewed during televised promos. 

The limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun has given us endless moments, but here are 3 of our favourite Ric Flair wildest outbursts.

Born with a Golden Spoon Promo

World Championship Wrestling, November 13, 1987

Ric had a way of captivating fans on the microphone since early in his career. The Nature Boy character was everything opposite of what the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) was presenting with their top star, Hulk Hogan, and Flair made sure you knew it.

Custom made since day 1, Flair has been reminding fans since his early days in Jim Crockett Promotions & World Championship Wrestling that he was born with a golden spoon, and he wasn't embarrassed by it, and as he would say, "If you don't like it, learn to love it."

Stripped Down Promo

WCW Monday Nitro, December 28, 1998

At the height of WCW wrestling in the late '90s, the attention always seemed to be directed towards the popularity of the New World Order (NWO). However, one of the more underrated weekly segments was the ongoing feud between Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair.

The animosity for one another spilled out from behind the scenes to the other side of the curtain, but this brought out certain emotions during Ric Flair's promos that made them feel so real.

One of Ric Flair's craziest moments came during an episode of WCW Nitro during an in-ring segment with Mean Gene Okerland, where Flair stripped down to his boxer shorts in the ring after throwing his alligator loafers into the crowd.

Wooooo off with Jay Lethal

TNA iMPACT! June 17, 2010

A segment that no one saw coming at the time but is now regarded as one of Ric Flair's funniest promos during his career is the infamous Wooooo off with Jay Lethal in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Jay Lethal, who at the time was impersonating the Nature Boy character, got Flair so fired up in the ring that it had him throwing his loafers, dropping phantom elbow drops on nothing, and yelling his signature Wooooo's at the top of his lungs you would expect anyone to pass out from.

Where is Ric Flair Today?

While Flair sporadically makes appearances globally for various fan engagements, today he is working to promote his companies, Ric Flair Drip and Wooooo! Energy.

Ric Flair Drip is a hemp-derived cannabis and consumables brand that is available nationwide, and Wooooo! Energy is a collection of sparkling mushroom elixirs made with natural antioxidants, nootropics, and caffeine.

And in the words of the Nature Boy, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man!" Wooooo.
