About Ric Flair
The Dirtiest player in the game, multi-NWA World Champion Ric Flair shocked the world by joining the WWF in 1991. Unlike other characters, Flair was treated as a big deal – parading with the NWA World Championship (he disputedly owned it thanks to a deposit not being returned), and begun his WWF career by doing the first great Royal Rumble appearance: lasting disputedly over 1 hour to win the vacant WWF Championship, becoming the 15th man to do so. Even now, this moment is played over and over again, shown in his hall of fame career.
The following year as defending champion, he had to go further – entering the match at #1. However, this year he wasn’t as successful. Ric Flair was leaving the company, and he was eliminated by longtime-friend-turned-foe Mr. Perfect. The following night, Perfect beat Flair again to send Flair packing.
Slick Ric returned to the WWF (now WWE) in 2002, but wouldn’t compete in a Royal Rumble until his Evolution days in 2005. Entering the coveted number 30 spot, Flair’s later Royal Rumbles were quite short, lasting over 5 minutes only once, but the performances Flair put on earlier on – especially in the 1992 Royal Rumble – will never be forgotten by Royal Rumble fans.
