For more than a century, professional wrestling has cultivated some of the most eccentric and compelling personalities. As the embodiment of flamboyance and intensity, the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair stood at wrestling's apex for decades, cementing his place as a once-in-a-lifetime athlete and performer. When he was in the ring, fans knew they were witnessing the very best, and he not only became a multi-time world heavyweight champion in the NWA, WCW, and the WWE, but his status as a generational great has been confirmed with inductions into numerous Halls of Fame.

The Last Real World Champion: The Legacy of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair is a gripping portrait of a wrestling legend. This unflinching biography explores the successes, struggles, and controversy of Flair's life in wrestling, pulling no punches in sharing the truth behind his in-ring achievements and out-of-the-ring hardships. Today, Flair is celebrated for his pioneering career and as an iconic figure in the realm of mainstream sports entertainment. Celebrated wrestling historian Tim Hornbaker tells Flair's complete story, with meticulous attention to detail and exhaustive research, creating a must-listen for fans of wrestling, sports, and popular culture.

A good retrospective

A good overall retrospective but ignores the fact of why Flair hasn’t been able to retire being his numerous divorces and alimonies not his love for the sport. Overall though very good

The definitive Flair story

Superb work from Tim Hornbaker. Follows Flair’s career from first match and to his last. Well maybe his last match!
