'70s bump.

I knew a few groupies who flew and got on the bus with Nature Boy back in the late 80s. Tales were told.

I knew for a fact that two of these women were drug addled party girls and they were on the plane with him innumerable times.

Sorry if he is your personal hero or something. Maybe he's grown since then, maybe nobody cares after 8 years of Clinton, maybe he was ministering to them. I'd like to think that the NCGOP can find better.

I liked wrestling back in the 80s--NWA and Texas wrestling. I always liked the road warriors and Jimmy Valient. I thought the Missling link was hilarious, and I hated the Iron sheik and the Koloff's.

Today's wrestling is too raunchy and base for me.

Ric Flair - Space Mountain - Stylin' & Profylin' !

My username is short for 'Stylin & Profylin'.
It was the name of my Limo Company.. I stole it directly from Ric Flair, as he used that phrase to define his lifestyle in the early 80's.
Woooooooo!

and no..rasslin' aint fake ! :) Politics is (are?)!

[SlickWillard]

Looks like he dropped out of U of Minn after a year or so...

[Jonathon Spectre]

We're gonna dance all night, and dance a little longer!

[wallcrawlr]

dropped out?? he probably couldnt handle the liberal crap that goes on in that school.

"By the way do you people have any idea what the backgounds of all of the rest of the governors, senators, representatives and other politicians are?"

Do you mean such luminaries as Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Rosty The Postman, Janet Reno, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Al Gore, Joe "The Liar" Lieberman, Lanny "Clinton never did anything wrong" Davis. Need I go on? A professional wrestler has more integrity Than the aforementioned. And most of them want to be president!

[Brytani]

I remember watching Rick Flair when I was 6 years old, didn't even realize he was still around.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Gonna kick those Dems' a$$es, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

WHOOOOOO!!!

Love to see a WWF sponsored "debate" between Flair and Dufus (California). He couldn't do worse than Dufus vis running the state. Big time pay-per-view bump!

[motexva]

A couple of friends from college have this crazy story about encountering a naked, confused Ric Flair in a hotel in St. Louis. They claim Flair was wandering around the hallways, looking for some woman. I don't know if the story is true, I'm amazed he's thinking of running for governor.

[jla]

Flair said he has been approached by Republicans from both ends of the state, as well as Charlotte.

These people need to be found...and unconspicuously bound, gagged, and put on a slow boat to some far away place.

[goodieD]

Ow! my head!

[sheik yerbouty]

He can run for Gov. in Arkansas!

[Bad~Rodeo]

ADMIT it, you're a closet wrestling fan, bubba....L~

[Hamiltonian]

Wonder if he's consulted with J.J. Dillon yet.........

[billhilly]

I rekon he kin git him a stock car driver runnin mate and pretty much tie up the race. Imagine those cabinet meetings in a limo though.

"...broke his back in three places]: "

Atlanta, Charlotte and .............................? Sorry. Just couldn't let that pass.
