| This book is about Ric Flair (Richard Fliehr) and his exploits inside and outside the ring. It's a very fast read covering a thirty year career with anecdotes from his family as well as other wrestlers. You'll get to learn how hard it is to balance family with the rigors of being on the road 300 days out of the year. The book covers his starting out with Verne Gagne; running in the freezing cold winters, doing hundreds of squats and push-ups, and practicing in an old ring in a barn. The book also covers his time as NWA heavyweight champion in the 70's and 80's, his time in the 90's with WCW and all the politics that went along with that. | ||
