Charlotte Flair is one of the greatest of all time. She is the most decorated woman in WWE and is virtually unstoppable.

While people may see her as ‘The Queen’ today, she wanted nothing to do with wrestling back when she was a teenager. She didn’t even want to become a wrestler until a tragic event transpired in her personal life.

Ric Flair is a 16-time world heavyweight champion and a two-time Hall Of Famer. His son, David, and Reid wanted to follow in their father’s footsteps in pro wrestling themselves.

Before professional wrestling, Reid was an extremely accomplished amateur wrestler. He even won the AAU National Wrestling Tournament when he was just ten years old. Reid made his debut in World Championship Wrestling in 1998. He defeated Eric Bischoff in his debut, teamed with his father, and took on David Flair and Vince Russo.

Ten years later, he made his first Wrestlemania appearance in Ric’s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. Following Ric’s retirement, Reid made his debut in WWE and teamed with his elder brother David to defeat The Nasty Boys.

Reid Flair was also present in the Independent wrestling circuit. He wrestled for Big Time Wrestling and NWA, where he wrestled Cedric Alexander and defeated him.

Reid then started training in Japan for All Japan Pro Wrestling in 2012. He made his debut in 2013 to replace his father in a tag team match. After training and a few matches, Flair returned to the US twelve days before his untimely death.

Charlotte Flair started professional wrestling for Reid Flair.

Reid followed his father’s footsteps in Pro-Wrestling. However, it was short-lived as he passed away young, reportedly due to drug abuse.

Charlotte was extremely moved by her brother’s passing and decided to fulfill his dream to carry the Flair legacy forward.

Just like that, Ashley’s entire world fell apart. Reid never got to see his little sister become The Queen as he died when she was still in training.
