“‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair was in a plane crash that injured his back in the 1970s, making him unable to safely take bumps (moves that slammed him on his back). As a result, they altered his entire style. He was a submission specialist, and any extended match with him involved minutes of wrestlers struggling to get out of his signature figure-four leg lock. It was almost a running joke how bad he was off the top rope, because that allowed him to miss whatever dramatic move he was attempting, but take a side bump instead.”

He also had comedic elements built in to help him control his bumps while still allowing him to seem beatable, like delayed reactions to abuse. He would be losing, but just wouldn’t go down until he suddenly stumbled a bit and then collapsed as all the abuse hit him at once. As a result, he continued to wrestle well into the 2000s. Flair vs Shawn Micheals is a certified classic, and it was in 2008.”
