10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week

Find out the match Ricky Steamboat regrets not being able to fight...

'Nature Boy' Ric Flair is currently part of WWE television, commonly accompanying his daughter Charlotte to the ring for promos and matches. There are some fans who feel Flair takes away from the WWE Divas Champion, instead of adding to her aura. If that's the case, it's likely because Ric is such a huge personality. It's probably very difficult for him to stand in the background and not be the centre of attention for segments. Stretching right back to his heyday as head of The Four Horsemen, Flair has - by his own admission - enjoyed a good party. In this week's article, one of his former friends reveals a startling story about the amount of money the 'Nature Boy' was willing to spend in order to have a good time. That same man also discusses his own career, leading to a stunning fact about things he wished he had been able to do differently. In addition to those facts, there are ones relating to Becky Lynch, the 2008 Royal Rumble and even Val Venis. Further to that, find out who was downhearted that WWE didn't sign him upon acquiring WCW, and which former WCW World Champion laughed when he was told he'd be winning the championship.
