Wooooooooo!

I must say that when I watched Raw last night I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Ric Flair gave his farewell address to his millions of fans. Some of those fans, as in the other WWE wrestlers, came to show their appreciation as the entire WWE roster was on hand. A very emotional Flair was also joined by his family. It's the least that could be done for the greatest wrestler to lace up a pair of boots. In his 36 year career a win lose record is unfathomable to try to estimate but here are a few of his accomplishments:

NWA/WCW United States Champion - 5 times

NWA/WCW Tag Team Champion - 3 times

WWF/E Intercontinental Champion - 1 time

WWF/E Tag Team Champion - 3 times

1992 Royal Rumble Winner

The first active wrestler inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame

NWA/WCW/WWF/E World Heavyweight Champion - 16 times

These are some inpressive stats. He will be missed by many in the wrestling world, but I expect he will show up from time to time. Ric was criticized by many (including me) for staying in the business way past his prime, but I must admit, there will be a giant hole in the wrestling world that can never be filled again. I'm the Eyeball, and That's What I See.
