Line 81:
* [[Sobriquet]]: The Nature Boy (though [[Older Than You Think|not the first one]]), Naitch, The Dirtiest Player in the Game, Slick Ric.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Spell my catchphrase without an "H"]] His catchphrase is often misspelled as "Whooooo!"
* [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]: Played straight a few times, and ''sort-of'' averted after his retirement following ''WrestleMania 24''; while he has yet to wrestle another match in America, he wrestled against [[Hulk Hogan]] during Hogan's 2009 tour of Australia. He has also wrestled on Impact! now and while this, especially coupled with his absolute [[Tear Jerker]] of a sendoff at [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], naturally created a [[Broken Base]], he definitely showed everyone that he's still got what it takes to work the match and the crowd.
* [[Theatrics of Pain]]: If Flair wanted you to believe he was in pain, he would make you believe it.
* [[Throw It In]]: At an NWA TV taping in 1986, Flair, Ole, and Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and manager JJ Dillon were placed in an impromptu interview spot together due to time constraints. The four wrestlers had been working as something akin to a [[Power Stable]] before this, but then Arn said "The only time this much havoc had been wreaked by this few a number of people, you need to go all the way back to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!" during the interview; just weeks later, fans were carrying "[[Four Horsemen]]" signs to NWA events. The name stuck, and the Four Horsemen went on to become arguably the most successful and powerful stable in pro wrestling (until the [[New World Order]] came along).
