Come on, Ric Flair isn't getting any younger. Its about time for a new "Nature Boy" to come forth. Got to be someone good, he's got to fill Buddy Rogers' and Ric Flair's boots.

Little backgound, Buddy Rogers was the original "Nature Boy" and the first WWE Champion (then the world wide wrestling federation). Ric Flair fashioned his "Nature Boy" gimmick after Buddy Rogers, including using the "figure four leg grape vine lock" (or simply "figure four leg lock" today). Rogers and Flair feuded in the late 70s. Flair was in his thirties at the time, Rogers his late fifties. Ric Flair is about the same age Rogers was at the time they had their passing of the torch feud.
