Buddy Rogers (1939-1969, 1978-1992)
Ric Flair was motivated by the original wealthy, presumptions wrestler by the name of Buddy Rogers. Fun fact but this youngest adopted his “Nature Boy” persona and his figure-four leg lock. Currently, there have only ever been three wrestlers who won both the WWE and NWA World Heavyweight Championship, and he is one of those tycoons! Some of his disturbing moves include the famous body slam and piledriver.
