'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair is one of the most iconic and influential wrestlers in the history of pro wrestling. Flair has been 'styling and profiling' for years and is a 16-time world champion, a record only equaled by John Cena.

Unfortunately, Flair's son David Flair never came even close to matching his accomplishments. He was signed to WCW during the Monday Night Wars and pushed to the moon long before he was ready. David Flair never actually wanted to be a wrestler when he was younger but still ended up following his father into the business. He was thrust into a number of top storylines in WCW in his time there, but it never clicked because David Flair was not very good in the ring and didn't have much charisma either.

Despite his shortcomings, David Flair is a former United States and Tag-Team Champion in WCW. He was briefly in WWE after the demise of WCW, and his most famous moment in the company was getting absolutely destroyed by The Undertaker.
