10 Wrestlers That Became Complete Party Animals
2. Ric Flair
By countless reliable re-tellings, 'The Nature Boy' legendarily lived his life almost exactly as he appeared on television - the persona that burst from that NWA spaceship control centre stage through the screen felt real enough to touch because most of it was.
Money saving doyen Martin Lewis would surely shudder at the money 'The Nature Boy' has p*ssed up the wall on drink and debauchery for himself and others over the decades, not least during some lean years that found Flair doing odd co-promotions with Call Of Duty and credit card financiers to allow for a life well lived to continue with reasonable wealth.
Stories of Flair's generosity in hotel bars the world over after the many nights were legendary and manifold, all told with a reminder that it was 'Slick Ric' himself wanting to keep the party most of all going rather than the associated revellers only too please to be living it up with the industry legend.
