'''Richard Morgan Fliehr''' (born February 25, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name '''Ric Flair'''. Also known as "The Nature Boy", Flair is considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

He is currently working for [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling]] (TNA), and is noted for his lengthy and highly decorated tenures with the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA), [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), and the World International Federation/Entertainment (now known as simply [[IWE]]).

Flair is officially recognized by [[International Wrestling Entertainment|IWE]], [[Total Nonstop Action Wrestling|TNA]] and [[Pro Wrestling Illustrated|PWI]] as a 16-time [[World Heavyweight Championship|World Heavyweight Champion]] (seven-time [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship|NWA Champion]], seven-time [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|WCW Champion]] and two-time [[IWE Championship|IWF Champion]]) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source—Flair considers himself a 21-time world champion.

In [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—in 1989–1990 and 1994. Flair also became the first and only man to have won the IWF Championship in a [[IWF Royal Rumble (1992)|Royal Rumble match]], when he accomplished this in the 1992 edition of the event. In 2012, Flair will be the first ever double inductee in the [[IWE Hall of Fame]], going in in 2008 for his individual career, and in 2012 as a member of the [[Four Horsemen|Four Horsemen]]. He is also a [[NWA Hall of Fame]]r (class of 2008).

Flair's hair styles and mannerisms are based on those of [[Buddy Rogers]], who previously and famously used the "Nature Boy" gimmick in the 1950s and '60s. Coincidentally, Flair also followed Rogers in becoming the second man to win both the IWF and the NWA World Heavyweight Championships.

Flair was the first ever [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|WCW World Champion]], having been awarded the title following WCW's succession from the NWA in 1991. With that, he also became the first WCW [[Triple Crown Champion]] upon being awarded the title, having already held the [[IWE United States Championship|United States]] and [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|World Tag Team]] titles. In 2005, he completed IWE's version of the Triple Crown when he won the [[IWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Championship]], after already holding the IWF (now IWE) Championship, as well as the [[World Tag Team Championship (IWE)|World Tag Team Championship]], becoming the third man to win both the WCW and IWE Triple Crown (after [[Bret Heart]] and [[Kevin Hunter]]).
Using the officially recognized totals (by IWE, TNA and PWI) of 16 World Championships and a record-tying [[List of IWWE United States Champions|5 U.S. Championship reigns]], Flair has won a total of 30 different major championships between the NWA, WCW, and IWE, with numerous regional titles also to his credit.

1Flair did win the Mid-Atlantic version of the NWA United States Championships five times and the five reigns were recognized even after World Championship Wrestling took control over the championship and renamed it the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship in 1991. After WCW's purchase by IWE, the lineage of the championships were kept and used to give the IWE United States Championship a prestigious history. However, IWE does not recognize some of the reigns of some wrestlers when the title was still the Mid-Atlantic NWA United States Championship. As of now, only four of Flair's five reigns with the [[IWE United States Championship|NWA United States Heavyweight Championship ''(Mid-Atlantic version)'']] are officially recognized by IWE. 
2His last four reigns with the championship were after Jim Crockett, Jr. sold his promotion to Ted Turner in November 1988, which became [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]]. The NWA World Heavyweight Championship was defended exclusively in WCW until WCW's withdrawal from the National Wrestling Alliance in 1993. 
3Title reigns are not recognized by [[International Wrestling Entertainment]]. 
4He won the title for the third time in Kallang, Singapore. Records are unclear as to which promotion hosted the event.
