10 WEIRD Changes Wrestlers Made You Definitely Don't Remember

5. Ric Flair Grows It Out

Ric Flair's Last Match was a challenging watch at best and simply upsetting at worst, and it had nothing to do with the one-off torso-covering attire he chose in a failed attempt to protect his dignity.

'The Nature Boy' was once the man that could sell any old sh*t to any audience simply by being every bit 'The Man' he said he was. This included pulling all sorts of audacious looks - ones far more bizarre than his 2022 aesthetic. Don't believe it? Look at that visual above this text.

A*shole-with-a-ponytail Ric Flair was an unexpect treat as The Four Horsemen rode into the 1990s still as one of the most dominant groups in wrestling history. It's ironic - a haircut was at the core of Flair's frayed relationship with Jim Herd, and more's the pity this look wasn't something they could agree on. If Herd was happy with yuppie cowboy instead of Spartacus, it might have stopped 'Slick Ric' from jumping to WWE in 1991.
