One of the most respected and successful professional wrestlers of all time is the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Flair is a WWE Hall of Famer who has also held the World Heavyweight Championship for a record sixteen times. Recently, Flair named his favorite wrestlers that he worked with.
While speaking to Joseph Acosta of SBNation, Ric Flair mentioned that two of the favorite wrestlers that he had shared the squared circle with were WWE Hall of Famers Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat and Sting.
“My two favorite were [Ricky] Steamboat and Sting. Loved Wahoo McDaniel, that’s when I was really young. Blackjack Mulligan, I mean I’ve been lucky enough to wrestle everybody. I enojyed wrestling [Bruiser] Brody in Japan and in America. I’ve traveled the world, I’ve had a great time and I’m really fortunate to still be here.”
The Nature Boy also shared the list of the current stars he loves to watch. That included his daughter Charlotte Flair, MJF, Randy Orton, and many more.
“Well, number one would be my daughter, of course. But Randy [Orton], AJ [Styles]. I mean I like a lot of guys, like MJF. It’s hard to pick out four or five guys, but I mean we got great, great talent in both companies. You know, it’s hard to say who’s the best but I have some favorites. The Young Bucks are just absolutely sensational. What a phenomenal match they gave Sting and Darby [Allin]. (Laughing) Darby is too much, man. Orange Cassidy is one of my favorites. I mean, all those guys are great, wonderful people,” Ric Flair said.
