Ran across this less than newsworthy tidbit, the man is now 72 and looks 20 yrs. older. Guess his time in the ring and the hard living he was known for has taken its toll. No idea who the pretty young lady is that's with him, don't really care. I also have some lovely granddaughters that at times will fuss over old gramps...so who knows. He was married enough times to have left some offspring somewhere in his past. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/galleries/article-10544649/Newly-single-Ric-Flair-spotted-LAX-young-woman.html |

John,
Life in the fast lane is exhilarating, but one does tend to arrive at the toll booths much quicker. Never much one for flair, myself, I think I am approaching a point where I may need a flare, though...

I couldn’t remember this quote verbatim so I had to look it up. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/47188-life-should-not-be-a-journey-to-the-grave-with“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!” The photographer certainly did a good job at including the derrière of the lady in his photos though. |

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

I think he looks good for his age. Then again you lost me at "the Daily Mail".

Flair has had more women of the evening than probably all of us combined.. WHOOOOOOOO! styling and profiling......  Not sure how true, but he was bankrupt spending money so much is his own darn fault that Vince McMahon helped him out financially it sounded like when broke. IMO was never one of the top 20 best technical wrestlers of all time, but longevity wise one of the tops in the business. I remember seeing him in 70s and 80s though and he was pretty buffed. I still remember in late 1980's my brother was a mgr. of a pizza buffet restaurant and he had Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff and Kurt Henning, and other top name wrestlers, in there and he said they were all very cocky and arrogant. Flair was probably one of the worst in that dept. lots of GREAT wrestlers died early in life either thru concussions, drugs/pills, or heart issues (steroid use, etc.) Never understood how Chris Benoit could be so mentally unstable to kill his wife and young boy then kill himself. Am thinking was concussion related mental issues from too many flying off ropes head butts. |

even if NOT real, still pretty darn good for age 60, well past his prime though as most of us would be. Real or not, takes someone unique to do what they do weekly and skill and determination and hard work. Is sad though the wrestlers that age or even in mid 50's are still doing 1-2 matches per year in it for the money. Undertake age 56 or so heard might be doing a 'reunion' match and Bill Goldberg has done a few matches the past year as well all for the moola.... |

Then I scrolled down and saw your post. Thought Flair looked good for his age. |

But, John, he has money and no restrictive moral standards.  He's a year older than I. He looks terrible for his age. |

In that case I must look marvelous for my age. The only blonde in my life lives about 3 miles away, at least that's the color I saw her with a couple days ago. Never know what tomorrow will bring.  |

Ric must look good enough to land on a women half his age?
Am sure he splurdges on her galore since the few documentaries I saw on TV with him is he spends money like water thinking he has an never ending supply of cash. I think we would be shocked if we knew what he spent on drinks the past 40 years on the road with the other wrestlers stylin and profilin...

not sure too many watched the dark side of the ring, but the plane ride from hell episode is where Flair took it too far as judging by all the true stories his fellow wrestlers said he has done many times. He walked on the plane with ONLY his robe on to the stewardess and flashed her and got her pinned up along a counter and told her to touch 'it' egging her on. NO sexual contact but he is surely stuck on himself. Has been told several times by other wrestlers him walking around naked or flashing others while at a bar or hotel room, etc.
Am sure the 28 year old is looking for stylin and profilin spending some dough on her, as only Flair can do in his own warped mind.
