It's been proven enough times that good genetics don't guarantee good wrestlers, and Ric Flair's great ones had already proffered the under-trained David Flair and sadly deceased Reid before his daughter Ashley elected to give her father's trade a try.

Her success under such high pressure has, subsequently, been nothing short of miraculous.

Flair only signed a WWE contract in 2012 and wrestled on NXT television for the first time in 2013 - to have become the best and most reliable female all-rounder in the entire company just five years later is absolutely phenomenal. Ric Flair's legendary efforts may never be topped by anyone in the industry, but it's hard to argue that his daughter hasn't done as much for women's wrestling in this decade as he did during his 1980s zenith.
