10 Behind The Scenes Reasons For Wrestling Characters' Quirks

10. Great Balls Of Fire Inspired The "Woo!"

Becoming very much synonymous with The Nature Boy over the course of his high-profile career in-between and away from the ropes, Ric Flair's simple but effective "Woo!" is still being heard in arenas all over the world today whenever a performer opts to let loose a sickening chop on an opponent.

But far from randomly deciding one day that he would unleash the eventually iconic three-letter release out of the blue, Flair would actually reveal later down the road that the "Woo!" came onto his radar whilst driving from town-to-town one night back in the mid-70s.

Listening to Jerry Lee Lewis's well-known Great Balls of Fire track on his way to a TV taping, an inspired Flair decided there and then that he needed to debut his own trademark "Woo!" whilst listening to the explosive tune.

Sure enough, upon treating the fans to this new piece of wrestling gold, the crowd-friendly "Woo!" caught on “instantly”. And after finally choosing to transition this soon-to-be trademark catchphrase onto television, "it took off" and is still being wielded by both fans and Flair's own daughter Charlotte to this day.
