Considered by many to be the G.O.A.T., greatest of all time, Ric Flair’s 40 plus year career has allowed him to work with the AWA, NWA, WCW, TNA and WWE. Flair, a 16-time heavyweight champion of the world, built “The Nature Boy” into an influential cultural icon for past, present and future generations. Self-titled “The Dirtiest Player In The Game”, Ric Flair made everyone love the heel; the bad guy. Flair’s larger than life persona gave birth to his trademark “Wooooo!” and his signature promo videos that continue to build view numbers in the millions on YouTube today.

In 2012, Flair became the first ever two-time inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame: the first in 2008 and the second in 2012 with the Four Horsemen. “The Nature Boy” is currently in a Legends deal with the WWE. Flair was the subject of one of ESPN’s most acclaimed 30-For-30 documentaries of 2017 titled “The Nature Boy”. Now, retired from the ring, you can spend an evening with the Rolex wearin’, diamond ring wearin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’, limousine ridin’, jet flyin’ son of a gun.

Behind every great wrestler is a great manager. There is no greater manager in the history of wrestling than “The Mouth of The South” Jimmy Hart. Hart is not only an American professional wrestling manager, but also an entrepreneur, composer and musician. Hart’s 40 year career started in the legendary Memphis Wrestling Circuit and took him through the AWA, WWF, WCW, TNA and WWE. Jimmy Hart has managed many legendary wrestlers including Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Jerry “The King” Lawler, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Austin Idol, Dino Bravo, The Nasty Boys, The Giant and The Honky Tonk Man. Hart was at one time AWA Heavyweight Champion.

In 2005, Hart was inducted into WWE Hall of Fame and is currently signed to a Legends deal with the WWE. Hart currently resides in Daytona, Florida where he owns and operates Jimmy Hart’s Hall of Fame Bar and Tiki Deck. Often speaking through his signature megaphone throughout his career, you can hear in person how he earned the moniker “The Mouth of The South” at this once-in-a-lifetime event.
