so, i listen to sports radio out of dallas almost daily and they’re talking about the 30/30 tonight...i won’t get into spoilers, but wait until you hear the story about his first psych evaluation and his comments on drinking.
 
the best 30 for 30 to date, to me ... but admittedly I was a HUGE Ric Flair fan as a kid. Had never heard that he survived an airplane crash near Wilmington NC.
 
I don't get the wrestling thing, tbh. Haven't seen the 30 for 30 though. I know people who were Ric Flair fans back in the day LOVED him.
 
i recorded it, will watch tonight...that dude used to come here a lot when spurrier was coaching and when florida played in columbia he made a point to show up.

i drank with him in 2001 on a tour bus while we watched wake forest/carolina...carolina had a gigantic lead in that game, durant set records, yet still lost..but he kept giving me miller lites and telling stories.
 
I’ve met Ric one time in my life. 2008 at Crocodile Rocks in Myrtle Beach. He came in w 3 babes. Couldn’t tell if they were his wife/daughter/side piece as they all were dimes. Went up to him shook his hand and he gave me a WOOOOOOO.

Apparently he was a regular there as they brought him on stage a time or two.

Absolutely classic. That puts my Ric Flair tale to shame, but here goes:

About six or seven years ago I worked on a commercial shoot for the North Carolina Education Lottery which he starred in. While he was still in the motor home with wardrobe and makeup, the out-of-town producer was going around telling us all not to talk to our celebrity once he walked onto set.

In this market we work somewhat regularly with famous or semi-famous athletes and celebrities, and the last thing anyone is ever guilty of is being unprofessional. Plus, it was only Ric Flair and he never struck me as an aloof individual.

But that wasn't the message behind it. The fear was if you got Flair to talking he wouldn't stop long enough to step on his mark and deliver his lines for the camera, which is pretty much what happened. Of course it was the client and agency that ended up being the distraction, which was fine since they were the ones doling out the cash that day.
