This may seem like an odd blog to start up now because it is apparent Ric Flair is about to retire. However, the real point of this blog is to remember the man, the myth, and the legend that is "The Nature Boy." Wrestling fans today have no idea what greatness is with the exception of Shawn Michaels who I think is definitely one of the greatest of all time and continues to prove it. The man has made a huge impact on my life and has impacted the lives of millions of people. Just because he may be hanging up his wrestling boots for good in a couple of months doesn't mean he should be forgotten (and I know he won't be by many people). This blog may not get many, if any, hits but if just one person can see what real wrestling is like 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!
