Ric Flair Teams Up With Philly Wrestling Company

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ― Ric Flair still has a few more trademark "Woooooo's!" left to howl inside the squared ring.

A year after the former World Wrestling Entertainment champ retired from wrestling, Flair is back on the mat. He's working for Ring of Honor, a Philadelphia-based wrestling company that hopes the "Nature Boy" can give the next generation of stars a brand-name boost.

The 60-year-old Flair is stylin' and profilin' again.

Flair isn't lacing up the boots for another main event when he appears Friday as an ambassador for the Ring of Honor promotion. He'll be pushing a company that prides itself on putting more emphasis on the sport of wrestling than on the WWE's often outlandish entertainment style.
