There is a word in English literature called “Standard”. The meaning of tis word is something used as a model in comparative evaluations. There are standards for any person to achieve in any field. In the business of professional wrestling one standard is very hard to achieve. Some have even called it impossible to even come close to it. That is none other than the “Ric Flair Standard”.
Ric Flair. A person who modeled the phrase, “Diamonds are forever and so as the nature boy”. The nature boy is considered as one of the greatest, important and inspirational careers that were ever a part of this industry. To use the quote of Malika E Nura for the Nature Boy, “I’m incomparable. I’m not like anyone else because I’m me.”
Since 1972, the Memphis-born athlete has been a part of this industry. His early years led him to survive what could have been his final sight which was an airplane crash. That incident led him to change the trajectory of both the wrestling business and his own life. In the post-1975 incident, Flair adopted Buddy Rogers and became the new Nature Boy. After that, it led him to have a career that is now every professional wrestler’s dream.
