RIC FLAIR, ARN ANDERSON, TULLY BLANCHARD, AND LEX LUGER AS THE FOUR HORSEMEN
In the 1980's he came to national prominence as the leader of the Four Horsemen. As the charismatic heel champion he had great feuds with Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A., Sting, Lex Luger, Barry Windham, and Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat which solidified the National Wrestling Alliance as a national power in wrestling. In 1991, he moved to the WWE and began feuding with Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage until he left the WWE in 1992. Flair was apart of the Monday Night Wars in the late 90's when Hogan and Savage moved to WCW in 1994. Flair would face many stars of wrestling including Chris Jericho, The Big Show, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Goldberg. When WCW closed in 2001, Flair started working for WWE.
On Monday February 25th, the WWE will celebrate Ric Flair's birthday with a special episode of Monday Night Raw. It will be interesting to see what surprises happen on the show. As a fan of WWE and Ric Flair, I will be watching.
Happy Birthday Nature Boy. You're the best of the best.
Class Dismissed,
THE PROFESSOR
