I read that as ‘frightful’ at first, and couldn’t agree more.

Richard Fliehr does not exist. There is only Ric Flair and without being in front of a crowd working or being out partying then he is nothing. He is an empty shell. Richard Fliehr died in a plane crash in 1976. Ric Flair emerged from it. This is a man who will take a mile if you give him an inch. He will not just be a manager or a consultant or a commentator. He will do his damnedest to step right up to the line and then shuffle slowly across it until he's flopping and giving elbow drops to empty suit jackets and perving on the entire women's locker room. This isn't entertainment anymore. Every thing he does puts him deeper into cringe territory and, worse, he's not the only one whose career and legacy are being hurt by it. Ric Flair is becoming poison for nearly everyone still indulging his behaviour. I would place it more around when his son died. I am sure Flair had many faults as a parent (not all his fault like being on the road) but he loved that boy. When he died I think something broke.

Nah, he was like this well before his loss, the divorces, insane spending, adultery, spousal abuse, tax evasion, cheating anyone who does business with him, holding up promoters, there are a multitude of horror stories about Ric Flair the man, but people covered for him. He had important connections in the real world, he was elevated to sainthood by the wrestling media because he had workrate and seemed to be a source, Vince and others kept bailing him out financially so he never learned from his mistakes. Ric Flair never suffered any consequences for his actions for the best part of half a century, so never learned, he just keeps on being Ric, no matter who gets burnt.
