Regardless of anyone's opinion, it is irrefutable that "The Nature Boy" Is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.


This past Saturday he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, preceding his final match this Sunday at wrestlemania XXIV against good friend Shawn Michaels in an amazing match.


Tonight, Monday march 30th He was given an official sendoff into retirement by many old friends including his old partners "The 4 Horsemen" who had not been together since 1988, Gregg "the Hammer" Valentine, Ricky "the dragon" steamboat, Dean Malenko, Harley Race, Good friends Triple H and Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Y2J Chris Jericho, And his loving family, before the rest of the WWE roster and crew made their way to ringside to offer their respects to the greatest wrestling legend of all time, and whilst the entire arena stood on their feet in standing ovation, The wrestlers, The fans both in the arena and worldwide, as well as the entire business of professional wrestling chanted "Thank You" as he stood in tears surrounded by his closest friends and greatest fans.


It is rumored that Mr.
Flair intends to run for Governor of his home state, North Carolina, which is also known to most wrestling fans as "Flair Country"

I wish I could personally offer my sincerest gratitude to him on behalf of myself and my father who had grown up watching Ric Flair's illustrious career since before even the time of the Four Horsemen, for giving us fans his all for so long.


Thank you, Mr. Ric Flair. Thank you.

Beauty like yours

Beauty like your's
Is like that of a rose
The longer you watch it
The more special it grows

A rose In bloom
So wonderful to view
But I would never notice
since im thinking of you

And If that rose ever fell
So would my heart
I want to be together
never apart

I'll say it forever
So everyone knows
Beauty like your's
Is like that of a rose.

Precious Star

A Beautiful star
Yet to rise
By day in my heart
By night in the skies

As I sleep you're with me
my love is true
While you're so far away
Im dreaming of you.
