Richard Morgan Fliehr (born February 25, 1949), known professionally as Ric Flair, is an American professional wrestler. Regarded by multiple peers and journalists as the greatest professional wrestler of all time, Flair has had a career spanning over 50 years.
Flair is officially recognized by WWE as a 16-time world champion (8-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, 6-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, and two-time WWF Champion), although the number of his world championship reigns varies by source, ranging from 16 to 25. He has claimed to be a 21-time champion. He was the first holder of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship (which he also held last). As the inaugural WCW World Heavyweight Champion, he became the first person to complete WCW's Triple Crown, having already held the United States Heavyweight and World Tag Team Championships. He then completed WWE's version of the Triple Crown when he won the Intercontinental Championship, after already holding the WWF Championship and the World Tag Team Championship.
Richard Reid Fliehr (February 26, 1988 - March 29, 2013), better known by his ring name Reid Flair, was an American professional wrestler. He was the younger son of retired professional wrestler Ric Flair, the younger half-brother of wrestler David Flair and the younger brother of wrestler Charlotte Flair. He was best known for his appearances alongside his father in World Championship Wrestling and for his appearances with All Japan Pro Wrestling.
On March 29, 2013, Flair was found dead in bed at a Residence Inn in the SouthPark neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. He was 25 years old. On June 14, 2013, Flair's autopsy revealed that it was drug overdose of heroin and traces of two prescription tranquilizers, clonazepam, and alprazolam, which contributed to his death.
Reid’s gravesite is at Sharon Memorial Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Thanks Scott!
Thanks, Great song!!
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to someone who left us waaay too soon!
I love this song!! Ray, you have a phenomenal voice!! Wish we could sing together sometime. 😊
There is no stronger pain than to go on in life without your child. Your life as you know it ends on that day.
Been there. Unrelenting pain
I hope I never have to feel what y’all fella’s did apologies
Yes!
It is a pain that no parent should ever go through. Been there.
Your life is changed forever 🙏
It hurts my heart for Ric. No parent should ever have to bury a child.
My great grandmother buried her only child, my grandmother. She was 69. My great grandmother was 89. She joined her 5 years later. RIP to the two most influential women in my life.
❤❤❤
Beautiful, remembering great women in your life❤
I actually waited on Ric Flair and Randy Savage at IHOP in Memphis, TN years ago. They were both super nice and didn't even act bothered to sign autographs and take pictures with fans while they were trying to eat lunch. Great guys! So sad for Ric! R.I.P. Reid
You interrupted a traveling entertainers lunch to get sharpie ink smeared on your piece of paper? You sound like a treat.

Thank you, Scott. As a parent of 3, OD is my worst nightmare. As a recovering addict of over 9 years, I know that there is hope to prevent that as best as I can. Prayers to those who struggle with addiction. We can and do recover. Love from SoCal
🙏🙏🙏
Well done , ive got 3 months clean and sober , god willing ill be clean forever
@@smokey3570 one day at a time. U are doing good! Congrats!
@@chrishawkins32014 thanks chris ✌
So sad I couldn't imagine losing a child. Heartfelt tribute. My Mama used to be a hairdresser at Scorpios here in Atlanta she styled Ric's hair a few times said he was a sweet guy. Rest in peace Reid.
He was so young. It’s so tragic. He had his whole life ahead of him. How sad that he got involved with drugs. RIP Reid.
Drugs aren't prejudice.
True R.I.P. Reid Flair
This hits me hard as I myself lost 2 family members the same way, I can only imagine the grief Ric Flair & his family go through to this day. My prayers are with Ric & his family. Too young was Reid, RIP Reid Flair🙏🙏🕊🕊
Thank you Mike prayers to you and your family.
And Go Leafs…
@@SCOTTONTAPE "The hardest, most painful and saddest blow in life is for parents to bury their children, when it should be for children to bury their parents."
RIP Reid Flair and may I enjoy the glory of God.
P.S: Chris Benoit has been a good wrestling fighter.
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) ruined his life and his family.
I appreciate his sporting talent that he showed in wrestling, his sporting legacy deserves to be in posterity.
Although the bad WWE fans will never have a say, they only represent sporting deterioration.
Good fans only show empathy, respect and condolences to the athletes and the sport.
RIP the Benoit family and what glory of God I enjoyed.
I'm from NC and remember when Ric first started. His first feud was with JYD, Junk Yard Dog. Early in his career Ric used to brag about going to I-95 Massage off of Old I-95 between Lexington and High Point NC, and according to his stick "all the ladies wanted to take care of The Nature Boy." I was in my mid teens and had a huge crush on him.
Oh so so sad
Beautifully done Scott
The way you do these films Scott ❤. Absolutely heart breaking. You show so much compassion and care. I hope his dad/ family has come to find some kind of peace. ❤ Again spot on with the music.
Sorry for your loss ric flair and Charlotte and the rest of the flair family. I hope to meet you Charlotte one day. Scott I hope too meet you one day as well.
Such a tragic story when a parent has bury their child I can't even imagine that condolences to Ric and his family
What were the details?
I was diagnosed with myeloma in the blood and bone cancer in the year 2021 and when I got out of the hospital i was up the street in ashington i was talking to a friend of mine and my witch of a so called mother said she had some money put away for me and both my friend and me both said that's lovely something to live on and she said no its for my funeral and I thought that was terrible to say and so did my friend Susan
No parent should lose a child. Prayers out to the Flair family.
Scott i want to say thank you for the videos cause I'm learning a lot more about these celebrities deaths.
So sad.
May he rest in eternal peace.
I still hope and pray that
Rick and his family find peace and comfort.
Awesome video,Scott.
Thanks Scott, I didn't know anything about this. Very 😢 🌹 RIP Reid.💜
What’s up Scott! Thanks for this upload!
I am very fortunate that I have my son . He will be 12 this August , and he has type 1 diabetes . I grew up to the likes of Ric Flair , Hulk Hogan ,and Macho Man Randy Savage as well . I cannot fathom the pain that Ric had endured losing Reid . We as fans just have to show him support everyday , and help keep Reid’s memories alive .
This was such an awful tragedy there can't be any worse feeling as a parent.
We lost a son he was only 15 years old but losing a child at any age it's hurt like hell. Sending Prayers to the family of Ric Flair
Oh Renee, I am so sorry that you lost your baby. I have two of my own , 21 and nearly 18, its tough to lose them at any age, My heart and thoughts are with you and your family. May your son Rest in Peace.
Having two boys i could not imagine this pain , condolences from a stranger and parent .
I'm so sorry This is absolutely heartbreaking 😭 my prayers go out to his whole family Rip Reid Flair 🙏
I remember when he died and I first heard about it. Soo sad and I felt really bad for Ric n his family. I lost a brother to drugs n he was young also. Fucked Up 😢RIP Reid. Thank you Scott for doing this video, You Rock ✌ Out
Awesome vlog, Scott. My dad used to take my brother and I to Monday night wrestling when we were kids. Ric was the Man! Still follow him on social media. That was definitely a punch in the gut when Reid passed. Thank you for doing this!
My heart goes out to Rick Flair. Behind all that wrestling bravado he is a very emotional man who loved his son. I also saw him in the past get choked up in an interview talking about the passing of Dusty Rhodes. It's sad a lot of these wrestlers have a short life span. Great coverage as usual Scotty! Gary!!! Where are you??
Gary come in here
Dusty Rhodes lived a long life
I couldn’t imagine losing one of my kids my heart and condolences goes out to the family! 25 is way to young to pass away so soon! Prayers 🙏
Great video Scott my friend very sad . Have a blessed day dude.
So sorry for the loss of this young man,I used to watch Ric wrestle when I was young I would go to the matches prayers 🙏 for the family!!!
I honestly think especially me having 2 boys and a girl. I couldn’t imagine. My worst nightmare ever I honestly think that’s when Ric Flair really went downhill after his son.
Was this his only child?
@@lynnbaker2336has 3 others and a Grandson
I lost my daughter three years ago! No greater pain! I'm so sorry ! Painful breaks your heart!
Your the coolest man, always look forward to your videos 📹
So sad. Handsome young man. Thanks for the video, and stay safe! ❤
This is so random but Ray kind of looks like The Undertaker! Haha that's so cool I think - compliment not a bad thing! Im a big wrestling nerd - this is a great video Scott! 🙏❤️
I'm a father of three kids. I'll be honest. I do not want to outlive any of my children. This is the kind of thing that will keep a parent up at night.
Nothing compares to losing a child. I have lost 4.
@@rosemariemckinley7326 God, I'm so sorry. You must have a lot of strength to carry that weight.
ABSOLUTELY. NOT SUPPOSED TO BURY YOUR KIDS, YOUR KIDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BURY U.
I recently lost my first born son in April. The pain is unbearable and yes the sleepless nights makes life harder each and every day.
@@rosemariemckinley7326 Oh my gosh Rosemarie, How tragic! I am so sorry that you have to endure that kind of pain. 4 of them? My god... May they rest in peace. My thoughts are with you and your family. No parent should ever have to go through that :(
Very respectful as always. Thank you.
That song was gorgeous!! Beautiful music, singing, and lyrics! ❤

It is a very interesting and sad video. I don't watch wrestling but it's still sad how he died.
Thanks Scott. This is from a fan in Liverpool England UK 🇬🇧🙏😊
What a heartbreaking story I always wondered what became of it.....i can remember Randy and my Uncle John degan were really good friends in the seventies and eighties and he used to play with me as a kid... My name is Joseph and Macho man used to call me lil Jose... I can still hear his voice saying it...
Thanks for posting Scott
You all made a great video. Thanks for sharing all of the information for us. You did a great job.
Very tragic 😢R.I.P 🙏🌹🌹 Poor father 😢 No-one should bury their children 😢 Very great video Scott as always ☺️👌💕Thank you so much ❤️🌟
So sad. What a great wrestling dynasty. Beautiful video. ✌️
It's always sad to see a young life lost.
I am a middle aged woman, if I am wildly optimistic, and I am so not into wrestling but it is huge.
I was at a Psychological conference at a big hotel a number of years ago and there was a big wrestling event going on at the same time. I went down to the hotel bar one evening and got to talking to a few of the wrestlers and their group. They found it interesting that I was a forensic psychologist so we swapped crime stories and wrestling stories and had a grand old time for a few hours. I knew these guys had a level of fame but I had no idea.
The next afternoon I was leaving the conference. I walk out the front of the hotel with my bags and he was in his Ultimate Warrior costume with a big table set up. They were selling tons of stuff, there was a Hummer limo there and 1,000+ screaming kids wanting his autograph.
He saw me waiting for my cab and just gave me a quick nod and "nice meeting you" kind of acknowledgement. When my cab pulled up he grabbed my bags and tossed them in the trunk for me. Just that little bit of attention from him got my cab swarmed by kids as we pulled out. Kids were running up asking how I know him, asking who I am. lol I still recall the looks of disappointment on their little faces when I said I am nobody.
Like I said, I am not into wrestling but these guys are rock stars in that form of entertainment.
That song was awesome! ❤️
Great video! Beautiful song!

sad too hear this news condolences too Rick and all the Flair family
My brother lived two houses from Mancho Man. He has pictures of him driving up and down the street.
Beautiful tribute ❤️
I enjoy all these stories. they are vibrant and innovative. they have to be super famous!!!!!!!!!!❤
As long as Ric and Charlotte flair are still here he will never be forgotten
Those pictures with his dad so moving
Good Evening Scott 🙋🏽. I hope you had a good day ‼️ To Rick Flair and Family you have MY Deepest Sympathies and My sincerest condolences.May the Peace of God forever be with.God Bless You and keep You.sorry for your loss.✝️🛐☮️💟💜❤️💗🙏🏾✝️ Hi Guy's 🙋🏽.
Wonderful video! Vary sad , I never knew how Reid passed and I am a huge wrestling fan but this got to me! He seemed like such a promising young man , RIP . Thank you for making this
Once again, the tragedy in this is he was so young and had so much living to do and of course the grief that his parents and family went through who should never have to bury a child. I say this as my daughter's best friend's oldest son, who is 26 years old, is in the hospital on life support after taking some synthetic drug three days ago. My daughter is taking this situation as bad as her friend. It's something that no one should have to go through. Prayers for his family because this loss is for a lifetime. I absolutely love the song at the end! Just beautiful . Scott, thank you for always doing these videos with compassion. You're the best❤💐
Great video Scott!!!! 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
His poor dad probably replays every moment and second-guesses every single decision he made during those last five years - especially on that final night. What a horrible tragedy for the whole family. I’m sure they’ll never be the same.
I was born,raised and still live in Charlotte, NC..one of the few Charlotteans left in our city..I remember when this happened..Ric is definitely a staple in our city..RIP Reid Flair ❤❤
I met Ric Flair in my 20’’s at a regular dance night club….just in case, clarifying the type of night club was a regular dance night club😅. He asked for a dance and he almost spun me around off of the dance floor. I was keeping up with him spinning me around that on the last spin, he did (3) three loud Woo Hoo’s! People started clapping on seeing him smile and do his Woo Hoo’s. He gave me a kind hug and Thanked me for the dance. A super nice man, very kind and humble. Reid hadn’t even started living his life yet 💔. Sending my positive thoughts towards his entire family’s way. May happy moments with Reid fill their life and ease the pain expeditiously.
Great story thank you for sharing Serena!!
That is so awesome!! wooooooooo!
Sorry for your loss
Thanks Scott this video really touched me, great job as always I love your channel and content, as well as big bake. Thank you
Thanks for the vid, Scott. God Bless ❤.

@@bara7331So what you try losing a Kid and see if you ever get over it

Scott I just wanna start off by saying your such an amazing person with an amazing soul & full of positive vibes it just goes to show how much of an wonderful human being you are by doing this 💙
Wow thank you so much Andrew I really appreciate that 😊😊
Great job with the videos thanks my friend rip Reid
I thought this was a great video . I grew up watching WWF in the early 80s watching Rick.Flair great memories. Rip Reid Flair .
Sorry I am behind in videos. Been and still am in the hospital for a severe wound. I love that you are always so respectful.... but even more so when you talk about wrestling tragedies because very few people treat wrestling and wrestlers with the respect they deserve. I appreciate you, Scott.
That was a Beautiful song Rayen. Well done! 🇦🇺🌸🌟🙏
Thanks Scott for sharing be safe
RIP Reid Flair❤️🥀🕊🙏🪶 in Heavenly peace, ty, Scott & ur guests ✌️❤️👍, always...
RIP Ried Flair.
I can't even imagine the pain that Rick has been through with loosing his son 💔 rest in paradise Reid Flair😢
My sister had to say goodbye to two of her sons, one to murder he was only 31 and second son died of overdose,he was only 46 back in 2021,. We lost our oldest sister last year in July, no parent should have to bury their children. God bless you all and RIP to Rick's son
ITS SAD, AND TRAGIC. LOST MY OLDEST NIECE COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. IT HURTS. MY SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
Beautiful tribute and beautiful song driving into the cemetery
So very sad. Gone way too soon. Rip young man. My condolences to the flair family. Excellent job on this
So So Sorry Rick do I know how that feels to lose your child RIP Reid❤
Devastating ❤
I remember hearing about this… horrible… just horrible. I can’t imagine especially since I have 2 kids of my own, my kids are my life. Thank you for doing this video & honoring Reid. You are always so kind.
Btw I’m a huge fan of wrestling myself been watching it since I was little now my 2 year old is into it as well. She loves watching it with me😊
Mr. Flair, although we are two different people who walked down two different paths of life our son's passed away in the same manner. My son passed in April 2023 after 15 years of fighting the demon. This pain is unbearable and will hurt longer than we can imagine. May God bless you and your family. R.I.P Reid Flair 🙏✝️❤️
The song is absolutely beautiful 🙏🏻

Losing a child no matter how old they may be is something no parent should experience.
Such a tragedy 😢
From personal experience I can say that burying your child is indescribable.
My heart hurts for the Flair family, may Reid rest in forever peace. 😢
SCOTT, You are soo respectful. Thank you!!! 10:17
