10 Ridiculous Wrestling News Stories You Won't Believe

1. Ric Flair Runs The White House

Ric Flair is one of the most-recognisable names in all of wrestling - a multi-time World Champion, Flair's exploits outside the ring are almost as infamous as those inside it. A notorious party animal, the 'Nature Boy' has been known to enjoy the fine art of removing one's clothing when absolutely slaughtered, dancing for all to see and - probably not - enjoy. When asked about it, most of the man's close friends will just say, 'Well, that's just Ric being Ric'. The guy was like a walking one-man party throughout the 1980's, arguably the greatest decade of his storied career. Due to his very social nature, it's highly plausible that Flair would know a whole load of other famous people, and it is possible he met President George Bush Senior on a few occasions. This headline takes the biscuit however, reporting that Ric Flair and President Bush were not only tremendous pals, but the wrestler was also a top political advisor, and it was he who persuaded the President to send troops into Saudi Arabia. Flair has likely had some wild nights in his time, but this surely can't be true. This even tops Rey Mysterio being linked with Jennifer Aniston!
