Ric Flair
Richard Morgan Fliehr, better known as Ric Flair, has spent a lifetime making an art out of being flashy. As the figurehead of All Elite Wrestling, Flair continues to dazzle audiences with his signature blend of athleticism and showmanship.

Flair's arsenal of signature moves includes the Figure Four Leglock, Inverted Atomic Drop, Knee Drop, Elbow Drop, and Chop – each executed with precision and panache. His mastery of these moves has earned him an impressive array of accolades, including multiple world championships.
When he's not busy being a wrestling legend, Flair can often be found indulging in his other sporting passions – football, ringen (German-style wrestling), and leichtathletik (track and field). It's clear that this larger-than-life personality is always looking for new ways to test himself and push the limits of human physicality.
The Legacy Lives OnFlair's enduring appeal lies in his unwavering dedication to being "The Nature Boy" – a moniker that perfectly captures his essence. With an illustrious career spanning over five decades, Flair has cemented his place as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. As AEW's resident showstopper, he continues to thrill audiences with his trademark blend of athleticism and bravado.
In short, Ric Flair is the embodiment of wrestling's highest ideals – a true original who has left an indelible mark on the sport he loves.
