2. Happy Birthday Ric Flair

WWE

And why not, eh?

Mark Henry and The Bella Twins told some nice stories about 'The Nature Boy' as they celebrated him turning 71 a year removed from Batista kicking the f*ck out of him on his last special day.

This week's Backstage didn't have a rap battle or a sh*t in-studio skit, but featured plenty of wrestlers talking about wrestlers. As always, plenty more of this please.
