Nature Boy: 30 for 30 on Ric Flair

[AkydefGoldberg]

Ric Flair's career and life featured in ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series which I watched last night.

Anyone else seen it?

It fully captured the craziness and manic lifestyle of the Nature Boy (mindblowing to think his liver is one piece after the amount of drinks he had) but his role as a star in AWA/WCW, will leave it to others to decide whether he was the star as it was described in the documentary compared to Hogan in the WWE but a shame they didn't face each other until the mid-90s in WCW.

Tragic regarding his son's death but it seems Flair's lifestyle somehow afflicted Reid, whether that was inevitable in some way IDK.

I caught some of it, it was very good. It really painted a picture of the kind of life Flair had on the road. Drinking an inhuman amount of alcohol with seemingly no health problems, simply being unable to sit by himself in his hotel room, being miserable when they went to a town with no nightlife, etc. He really lived the gimmick.
