The 38th UFWL draft pick is Nature Boy Rick Flair. Our executive committee actually debated this one for a long, long time. There is no doubt that Rick Flair is a wrestling legend, but every other wrestling promotion in history seems to have had Flair on the roster. That made us take pause before ultimately deciding to bring Flair in.
We plan to sue Flair in a way that both WWF and WCW really failed to use him. As a heel to the other most popular wrestling Icon of the 1980's, and in a long term program. We are not drafting the Ric Flair from the 1990's WCW, or the recent TNA version. Nope, we want the Ric Flair of the 1980's when he was the NWA Champion.
We have one angle in mind for Flair, and that will be instantly known (if it is not already) when we announce the 10th and final member of our inaugural World Title division. Ric Flair was and always will be a main eventer and we sincerly hope he brings that reputation to the UFWL.
