3 Wrestlers Ric Flair Is Good Friends With And 2 He Probably Doesn't Like

Ric Flair is one of the best WWE wrestlers of all time. He is also a 16-time World Champion in the WWE and has achieved everything in the company.

Throughout his career, he made many good friends in the company and it is safe to say that there are also some wrestlers who The Nature Boy probably doesn't like.

He also had several backstage heats with wrestlers but some of them were sorted out in time while others didn't get resolved.

Let's take a look at 3 wrestlers Ric Flair is good friends with and 2 he probably doesn't like.

#5 Good Friends: Triple H

Even though Ric Flair and Triple H have a huge age difference, they are good friends in real life. Triple H is also one of those wrestlers who got inspired by The Nature Boy himself. At one point of his career, Flair also managed Triple H and later formed Evolution with him to help superstars like Randy Orton and Dave Batista.

During the process of building the career of other wrestlers, these two legends became very close friends.

#4 Probably Doesn't Like: Bret Hart

Bret " The Hitman" Hart is also a wrestling legend who The Nature Boy probably doesn't like in real life.

In 1993, Hart once said that Flair 'sucks' as a wrestler and Flair also responded to him by saying that he is a legend on his and he can't even sell tickets in the United States.

At one point, Hart also criticized Flair's in-ring skills and said that he wants to punch him in the nose. His words only indicated that he has no friendly relationship with The Nature Boy. In response to this, Flair once said on a Canadian radio show that Hart is a legend in his own mind and in my world, he is nobody.

#3 Good Friends: Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels was the one who ended the career of The Nature Boy in the WWE. At WrestleMania 24, a match between Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair took place with a stipulation that if Flair loses, he had to retire from the WWE.

Before the ending of the match, Michaels uttered 'I am sorry; I love you', and his words only reflected that he has so much respect for the Nature Boy in his heart.

Since then, both wrestlers became so close to each other that we can surely say-- they are very close friends of each other.

#2 Probably Doesn't Like: Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan is one of those wrestlers who helped the WWE become the biggest sports entertainment company. Many people even consider him as the person behind WWE's huge success.

However, a lot of WWE wrestlers didn't like Hogan because of his huge ego and maybe Flair was also one them. At the time of WrestleMania VIII, both wrestlers were about to face each other but no one was ready to lose to the other and because of that, this match never happened.

#1 Good Friends: Randy Orton

Randy Orton was also a part of the famous stable 'Evolution'. Both Triple H and Ric Flair did a very good job in building the career of young Orton during the early 20s.

After leaving Evolution, Flair and Triple H helped Orton become the new face of Monday Night Raw.

Now that Flair has helped Orton so much, we can safely say that Orton and Flair are good friends even in real life.
