WWE legend Ric Flair’s son completely unrecognisable 14 years after wrestling retirement and now runs steel wire company
WWE legend Ric Flair’s son looks completely unrecognisable now after embarking on a new career following wrestling.
The Nature Boy is one of the biggest stars to ever set foot into the ring and had his final match last year aged 73.
The now 74-year-old still makes sporadic appearances on WWE TV but these days it is his daughter Charlotte Flair that regularly steals the spotlight.
“The Queen”, 37, is a 14-time world champion and recently returned to SmackDown to stake her claim to fight current champ Asuka.
However, she was not the first of Flair’s children to try and follow her father into the wrestling business.
Her brother David attempted to do the exact same thing and enjoyed moderate success back in the 1990s.
He is best known for appearances in World Championship Wrestling, where he held the WCW United States Championship and tag team title.
David had the same bleach blonde hair that made his dad one of the most recognisable wrestlers on the planet.
But once WCW went out of business and was bought by WWE, his wrestling career began to wane.
He was involved in one TV storyline where he was attacked by The Undertaker during a feud between the Dead Man and Flair.

But David was eventually released by Vince McMahon’s company and he then tried to get his career going again in TNA, but that opportunity ultimately ended in disappointment too.
After making a few appearances on the independents, he then decided to quit wrestling in the late 2000s to embark on a brand new career.
David started working for his mother-in-law’s company, The Seal Wire, and he has enjoyed much more success than he did between the ropes.
He is now a manager of a company that produces copper and steel wires and is now married with two children, with his daughter a keen gymnast.
And he no longer looks like the chip off the old block like he did in his WCW heyday either.
David is now a lot bigger than he used to be and sports dark hair accompanied with a beard.
