Ric Flair 30 For 30: 15 Things We Learned

14. He Was Originally Going To Be A Dentist

In a rare clip from a 1985 Sally Jessy Raphael interview, she asked him if he always knew he wanted to be a wrestler, to which he replied, "No, my father's a physician in Minneapolis, and at one time I wanted to be a dentist. I got into school and I was so wrapped up in the fast lane and the fraternity life and all the good things that college represents, except for the academic part of it. I didn't achieve, academically, as well as I should have."

The prospect of an alternate timeline where Ric Flair, or rather, Richard Fliehr, is some average Joe dentist, is utterly mind-boggling.
