Ric Flair is a well-respected wrestling legend in the professional wrestling business. He has seen it all and done it all in his career that spanned over 40 years in the ring. He has wrestled all over the world in various promotions.

Ric Flair was one of the prominent figures of WCW. When the Ted Turner company shut down he was already a legend in the business. However, he went to WWE and had a lengthy run at Vince McMahon’s promotion. His time with Evolution was most notable during this run.

Recently, Ric Flair shared a tweet for his Evolution teammate Randy Orton. The Nature Boy was seen apologizing to The Viper for not being able to attend his 20 year celebration in WWE.

Flair’s tweet said, “I’m Sorry I Missed The Inaugural Celebration Of Your 20 Years Of Greatness @RandyOrton. You Look Better Than Ever! You Are The Best Performer In Our Business Today And Will Be Until You Decide To Retire. Congrats On 20 Years! Your Dad Must Be Very Proud! Much Love, Much Respect!”

Ric Flair also praised Randy Orton for completing a 20 years milestone in WWE. He also called him the best superstar in the locker room currently. 

As a mentor to the young Randy Orton in 2003, Ric Flair will be proud to see The Viper achieve such a feat. Orton was the youngest member of Evolution alongside Batista, Triple H, and Ric Flair.
