Follow Us
Ric Flair is a wonderful person when he is not into his ‘The Nature Boy’ character. Even after leaving the sport for so long, he keeps in touch with all of his allies and rivals in the game. Moreover, we have also seen The Nature Boy posting about his meetings with his colleagues in the business.
Recently, Ric Flair paid a visit to one of his WCW comrades and The Four Horsemen, Steve “Mongo” McMichael. Flair along with some wrestling legends had a Money for Mongo live stream recently.

The fans in the comment section shared their disappointment towards The Nature Boy for sharing McMichael’s picture in this state on social media.
This fans claims it’s just PR strategy of The Nature Boy.
This is low Ric… we get it you still think you are 30. But cmon one last match which you admit you wish it wasnt and the fans def wish it was 15 years ago or so, now this…. Whoever your PR is needs to go, also its probably conman thompson

Totally agree. Raise money for the man, but don’t post pictures like this. Nobody should have pictures posted on the internet like this.

Next couple of fans now impressed as Flair shares a private picture even Mongo’s family permitted him.
Can you stop posting pictures of him. Just let the poor man rest.

I really don’t understand why anyone would post a picture like this. A picture like this for private use, ok but why put this on social media? Lost it Ric.

Should never post a picture of someone in this kind of shape. You should be ashamed of yourself

Ric Flair shared a picture with a smile, but fans think that it was just for a picture. Moreover, they feel sad for Mongo.
I feel photos like this are totally disrespectful. I’m sure Mongo would not want people to see him like this.
— bbxsandman (@bbxsandman) September 4, 2022
Yeah, that smile on his face is a dead giveaway that he didn't want this pic taken…

My heart hurts everytime I see a picture of Mongo like this. ALS is a horrible disease 😢
