What is always interesting about professional wrestlers–and particularly the stars of the 1980s and 1990s–is to decipher where the distinction lies (if any) between the in-ring character and the real man. The terrific journalist David Shoemaker examined this duality in his sensational piece on Randy (Macho Man) Savage, and if ever someone’s on-screen “Nature Boy” persona blended into his real life, from self-destructive behavior to high living to repeated bouts with legal authorities, it would be Ric Flair, born Richard Morgan Fliehr in 1949.

Yes, he has never been able to spilt the character from the man; but that is how he was taught to succeed in wrestling - live your gimmick.

It worked for DDP.

The best characters in wrestling are always amplified versions of their real self. The Nature Boy is a perfect example of that. And a huge part of why he was so good for so long.
