Ric Flair Retires from Wrestling…again

March 31st, 2008

WOOOOOOOOOH!!!!

Is this it? Is this the end.

I remember watching Ric on Sunday morning wrestling right before Star Trek when I was a kid. Back then I thought it was all real. lol

Funny thing about this is that recently, I was talking to my Afghani students. We were on a break between classes and talking about politics, religion, sex. Anything and everything. One of the students asked me about Wrestling.

"Mr David, this TV boxing. Is it real?"

It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about. He mentioned a couple of names. John Cena and Triple H. And they mentioned the WOO Man. They didn't know his name but remembered that he yelled; "WOO!" all the time.

I started laughing and explained that it's all staged. They use fake blood and stage props. Told them that some people in America, though, still believe that it's all true. But that these are the same people who believe in UFO body snatchers and that Hillary Clinton would make a good President. lol

They all got a good laugh out of that.

But Nature Boy Ric Flair is hanging it up. Wow!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!
