To Be the Man, You Have to BEAT the man...



It was sad evening in the Famous household last night, as one the greatest performers in the history of professional wrestling and beyond, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, officially retired after his final match at last Sunday's Wrestlemania.

Even cooler, the tribute on last night's RAW featured a reunion of the FOUR FREAKING HORSEMEN! I have soooo many great memories watching Slick Ric, Arn, Tully, Ole and J.J. Dillon every Saturday afternoon on TBS for years and years. Hulk Hogan may be considered the biggest icon the business ever spawned, but he ended up a such a property/caricature...the Nature Boy lived the role to the hilt.

Owen, Logan and I all traded patented Flair 'WHOO!'s this morning in his honor...as the man himself once said: 'Learn to love it, learn to live with it. Diamonds are forever, and so is Ric Flair.'
