Rick Flair is just about the most decorated wrestler in history, and a fan favourite for decades. But unlike his on-stage persona, Rick was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was an orphan, eventually adopted by a family that was bringing in just 3000 dollars a year at the time. Rick wasn't necessarily the best student, but he excelled in sports. He even began to pursue a football career, before training to do what he's best known for.
