10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (May 15)

2. Ric Flair Cries With Pride After His Daughter's Matches

Ric Flair is definitely an emotional guy, that much is for certain. Not only does it come across any time the man grabs a nearby microphone, but Flair has also been seen visibly crying on wrestling television more than once - it's an endearing quality, and partly why so many people felt disappointed by the man's return to the ring in 2009, especially after his tearful assertions that he would never wrestle again following WWE retirement. It makes sense then that the 'Nature Boy', who seemingly can't give up the spotlight, would live vicariously through the career of his daughter, Charlotte. Currently working her tail off on NXT to try and forge a path to the main roster, Charlotte has earned glowing praise from all and sundry, and it seems only a matter of time before she'll be called up. According to the Diva herself, Ric can often be found sobbing to himself after her matches. When asked what's wrong, the tearful father says that he's simply overwhelmed with how well she's doing, and is extremely proud of his daughter. There's something nice about this idea, because it shows that Flair is 100% behind his offspring, and wants to see her make a huge splash in the industry.
