Ric Flair shared something really touching about Charlotte Flair’s wrestling journey. You see, Charlotte’s motivation isn’t just about following in her famous father’s footsteps. It’s about someone else who holds a special place in her heart – her late brother, Reid Flair.
Reid was the youngest son of wrestling legend Ric Flair, but his life was tragically cut short at only 25. Reid had started his own wrestling career, stepping into the ring with his dad in WCW and briefly signing with WWE.
In the midst of this family tragedy, Charlotte Flair found her drive. Her dad, Ric Flair, put it beautifully in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, saying, “A lot of what she does even today is motivated by him, even though he’s been gone. I mean, she just… she set out to fulfill his dream.”
This shows the deep impact that Reid had on his sister and how his memory continues to inspire Charlotte in her wrestling journey.
As Charlotte blazes her own trail to greatness in the world of wrestling, she carries the dreams and memories of her late brother with her. Her journey is a heartfelt tribute to the brother she holds dear to her heart. Now the Hall of Famer wants his daughter to surpass his own iconic record!
Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s hope for Charlotte Flair to break His record
Ric Flair, the WWE Hall of Famer, has a heartfelt wish – he wants to see his daughter, Charlotte Flair, break his and John Cena‘s 16-time world champion record. Charlotte already boasts 14 world championship wins at 37 years old and is still with the company in full time capacity.
With Cena’s Hollywood commitments, it’s unlikely he’ll add more titles anytime soon.
