"To be the man, you have to insure the man, and NAA is the WOOOO! by-God man! WOOO!"
Ric Flair, also known as "Nature Boy," is one of the most famous (and arguably infamous) names in wrestling history. Now retired, Flair wrestled in various venues such as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and is recognized as a 16-time world World Heavyweight Champion by Pro Wrestling Illustrated.Starting in the late 1970's, Flair became a frequent and colorful character on WWE, often entering the stage in elaborate, bejeweled rob and crowing his infamous "Wooo!" Although he was characterized as a "bad guy" because of his rule breaking (so much so he is also known as "the dirtiest player in the game) and flashy "Flair Strut", he quickly gained popularity with the audience with his gritty style of wrestling, not to mention his excruciating "Figure 4" move which paralyzed his opponents. After a long and successful stint in the world of wrestling, Flair announced his retirement on March 31, 2008 during WWE's Raw. Previous opponents and allies, such as The Four Horsemen and The Undertaker made an appearance to thank Flair for his contribution to the Wrestling industry.
Beyond wrestling, Flair has participated in charity events, including visiting hospitalized children for Make-A-Wish Foundation; an organization that grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. He has also traveled with other wrestlers to Afghanistan to entertain American troops in combat, highlighted in WWE's Tribute To The Troops. He is also the co-author of To Be The Man , an autobiography of the life and lessons of working in the wrestling industry.
Flair recently was a guest speaker at NAA. The former wrestler encouraged agents and agency managers to never give up their goals of protecting families, even when the road gets tough. "When you go out there in the field you go out there as an individual," said Flair. "There's a lot of pressure to perform, but ultimately you're carrying the flag for this great company. You're ultimately carrying the responsibility for representing this great company at the highest possible level. "
