WIP is proud to welcome Ric Flair as the special guest at Wing Bowl 25. Ric Flair® is a celebrity and professional wrestler. Also known as the “Nature Boy®,” Flair is among the most famous and well-known wrestlers in the world, and has been one of wrestling’s biggest stars since the late 1970s. Flair was often popular with the crowd due to his in-ring antics, including rule breaking (earning him the distinction of being “the dirtiest player in the game”), his cocky interview style, strutting and his shouting of “WOOOOO!™” The “WOOOOO!” yell has since become a tribute to Flair, and is often shouted by the crowd whenever they see Ric or when another a wrestler performs one of Flair’s signature moves. A Facebook and Twitter favorite, YouTube sensation, and whose name returns almost 4 million Google hits in under .2 seconds, Ric Flair® is an international icon. At 6’ 1”, 243 pounds and hailing from Charlotte, NC, his signature move is the Figure-Four Leglock. His career highlights include 16 time World Heavyweight Champion, WCW World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Champion, and United States Champion.
I never quite understood listing the career highlights of a pro wrestler. It’s like saying Tom Hanks once ran for over two years, survived on a desert island, managed the Rockford Peaches, and landed a plane in the Hudson. He didn’t actually do those things… they were scri… ah, never mind. 16-time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair is coming to Wing Bowl, and so is Coolio.
