One of the worst things about being a celebrity in any industry is the media’s obsession with them. Some may throw every mannerism out the window when it comes to them capturing every detail of the celeb’s life. Something similar happened to Tom Brady recently. But WWE’s Ric Flair stepped up, trying to put a stop to this as ESPN zoomed in on Tom Brady’s personal life.

Ric Flair is a man who has seen many eras of paparazzi and media involvement in his own illustrious career. But during his time, the media didn’t have enough coverage as it does today.
