    Alright- I'm not familiar with Ric Flair's early career. That's not out of ignorance, I'm just not quite old enough. So hopefully this isn't something that he's done all of his career or else I'm going to look like an idiot. Anyway, my observation is this-

    When Ric goes up in the air for a back drop, he curls in the air so that he lands on his side. I thought it was just an odd mistake at first- but I've seen it in every match he's participated in since coming back to the wwe. he always lands on the same side, I think it's his left. Now I watched the tough enough series and the one thing they stressed was how to land, which was both shoulders hitting the mat at the same time to support the head from hitting the canvas. But Flair ALWAYS lands on the side on his arm and such and it got me thinking perhaps he's disabled on the other side in one way. I mean obviously the guy shouldn't be wrestling at all anymore- his matches now are never high-risk. He sticks to chest chops and his "dirty tactics" like the thumb to the eye and the low blow. But check out one of his matches. He always takes at least one back drop and when he lands, he'll roll to one side just before hitting the mat.

    Has anyone else noticed this???
    AWWWWW What a rush!!!

      I don't watch wrestling anymore due to its obvious explosion of soap opera like storylines...but the last thing I noticed about Rick Flair was the neat little trick he learned where he ends up taking a nose dive over a turnbuckle, flips around and ends up running on the outside of the ropes so whoever he's fighting clotheslines him. It might be repetitive, but it's pretty amusing.

        The reason he does it is because of a plane crash years ago that injured his back. He has to avoid landing on it.
