Anyone know if Black Jack Mulligan is still alive? What about Rufas R Jones or Haystax Calhoun? Amazing that I can still remember these names from when I was about six.
About 12 years ago, I was taking an afternoon flight from Charlotte to Phllly. As a frequent flier, I was comp’d to first class and already seated.
I'm sitting there, minding my business when this guy gets on the plane. Handsome, very well dressed, “blonde” hair and year ‘round tan. The flight attendants and others in the area were down right giddy. He sat in the two-fer next to me.
The guy was charming their socks off in return. I could see he was “somebody”, but who? After take off, he looked over at me and said “Hi. I'm Rick Flair”. I introduced myself and honestly asked, “You seem famous or something. What do you do?” “Oh, I'm a pro athlete”, he said.
We made small talk for the short flight. When I got to my hotel and where could get Internet, I “googled” him. “Holy cow! What a doofus I am.I was sitting next to a wrestling legend!!”
He couldn't have been nicer and I've been a fan ever since.
Ric Flair was aight.
But THIS is the greatest professional wrestler in history.
Gordon Solie was the best sports host of all time.
