Happy Belated Birthday

Lost in the shuffle of last night's big WrestleMania announcement and my hangover was the fact that Ric Flair turned 59 yesterday. I guess HBK gave Naitch the best present of all by accepting his challenge to a match at WrestleMania XXIV. From all of us here at Diamonds Are Forever, we'd like to wish Mr. Flair a happy birthday and many happy returns! Here's a happy birthday WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

59 and still kickin' ass...

About This Blog

While Ric Flair may be retired now, he will never be forgotten. This blog is meant to remember the man, the myth, and the legend that is "The Nature Boy." The man has made a huge impact on my life and has impacted the lives of millions of people. This blog may not get many, if any, hits but if just one person can see what real wrestling is like (because the wrestling you see on tv today for the most part sucks) and that Ric Flair personifies greatness it will all be worth it. Just like the blog title implies, "Diamonds are forever, and so is Ric Flair." Thanks for everything Naitch!
