WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, is a living legend. The ‘Nature Boy’ etched his name in history books with his immaculate wrestling and mic skills in his illustrious 40-year career. He is the greatest World Champion in wrestling history with the most title wins, very similar to Tom Brady in the NFL.
Speaking of Tom Brady and Ric Flair, both legends have crossed paths once. And guess what? Both Flair and Brady are a fan of each other!

Flair detailed, “I was at the Ann Arbor thing with Coach Harbaugh, with him and Derek Jeter and everybody, for that big recruiting thing about five years ago,” Flair continued. “So, of course, Wendy wanted to meet him, my wife, and I said, ‘Well, I’m not going to walk over to him. There’s some rules of etiquette here.'”

“[Tom] looked over at me and took two steps. He didn’t walk across the room by any means, but he said, ‘Hey, I’ve been a fan. I’ve watched you for years.'” the ‘Nature Boy’ shared.
The ‘Nature Boy’ had recently congratulated Tom Brady for his seventh Super Bowl victory in a fashion only he can. ‘Naitch’ joked how Brady still has 9 more World Championships to capture to better his record. Honestly, we don’t think anyone except John Cena can break that 16 World Title record.
