7 Great Talkers WWE Didn't Let Talk

3. Ric Flair

Cutting promos is something the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair made a career out of.

Look at any list detailing the best talkers in the biz and Flair will be right up there in the top two or three. His over-the-top mannerisms, stylin' and profilin' brags and trademark 'Woo' delivery have always been outstanding, and they've made for some of wrestling's most timeless moments.

In 2015, Flair took on a different role. As a proud father to his daughter Charlotte, Ric stood in the background laughing as she took the floor and ran down opponents like her old dad had for decades. It was hard not to notice that Ric, one of the greatest mic men ever, wasn't talking on the stick himself.

Some of this probably had to do with Flair's unplanned takeover of the '30 Years Of WrestleMania' conference that was supposed to hype WWE 2K14. After that turned into a forum for Flair stories, the company maybe lost trust in Ric on the live mic and decided he'd be best off standing in the shadows and hooking a leg every now and then.
