Every Star Of The Last WCW Nitro: Where Are They Now?

1. Ric Flair

Ric Flair is still stylin' and profilin' as hurtles, in his own inimitable way, into an old age he simply defies.

His last WWE run was so great that it obscured itself through a climax of profound pathos at WrestleMania XXIV, which elevated the sadder Flair performances with one of the greatest stories WWE ever told. And it wasn't all sad; Flair's bloodletting and thumb tack bumps (!) were wildly and improbably entertaining, in patches.

This perversion, of course, manifested in a private life that threatened to careen off the rails entirely; Flair's law and order controversies spiralled, and they were driven through tragedy as much as ingrained excess. In a life marked by intensity and drama, Flair lost a child and saw another, somehow, follow his unprecedented legacy.
