Most people probably aren't aware that I wouldn't be the man I am today if it wasn't for Ric Flair. When I was young, impressionable and alone on many Saturday mornings the only thing worth watching on TV was often NWA Wrestling on TBS. Growing up in the South, TBS was a ubiquitous cable television presence and NWA Wrestling was one of its highest rated programs. At least partially because, it's a really nice show to watch while you drink light beer before you switch to liquor for the NASCAR race/College Football game. Anywho, Ric Flair was undoubtedly the star of the early years of NWA Wrestling and, frankly, after listening to his delivery in this video, well, lets just say I'm not surprised.
If that weren't enough, the Nature Boy is also an unabashed Gator fan who was often on the sidelines during the Spurrier Era. So, imagine my complete an utter joy when I stumbled across this video on EDSBS. It's pretty much the most amazing thing I've seen since my last illegitimate child's birth. But I only saw that on a shitty camera phone so this probably rates higher. I'll just leave you with the video while I try to figure out how to get this thing on my iPod.

...just like that. I just can't get past the bleached, feathered hair of the Nature Boy.
That's all part of the package Greg. From the horribly bleached hair to the cheesy strut all the way to the backhand slaps to opponents chest (or chops) that were supposedly such a devastating part of Flair arsenal. He's the Nature Boy, Greg. Don't fight it.
Pour out a sip for the Dawg House. http://flatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080211/SPORTS07/802110317/1093/SPORTS07
