Ric Flair is one of the best superstars to have laced a pair of shoes in professional wrestling. Ric Flair, who is known as 'The Nature Boy'' has been one of the greatest legends of the WWE who is admired by one and all and has also been an inspiration for many to take up pro wrestling. When it comes to the legendary names like Hulk Hogan, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Yokozuna, Bret Hart, Andre The Giant, Bruno Sammartino, etc. even Ric Flair is right up there in their league. The Nature Boy is a 16-time world champion and also owns a proud record of being the only wrestler to be a Triple Crown champion in WCW as well as WWE. However, the legendary superstar has lost support after his trademark argument with WWE Diva Becky Lynch.
What had happened between Ric Flair and Becky Lynch?
Ric Flair was not convinced with Becky Lynch's nickname 'The Man'. Therefore, he had made a statement to the Raw Women's Champion that it was his trademark and that she should refrain from using it.

Ric Flair loses support after crossing paths with Becky Lynch
Meanwhile, it has been learned that Ric Flair did not stop here after his trademark claim against Lynch. The Nature Boy had threatened WWE of legal action for allowing someone else to use his catchphrase without his permission. As per foreign media reports, Flair had asked WWE to pay him as long as Becky Lynch uses the catchphrase. In case if you don't know, the multiple-time world champion's catchphrase was 'To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man' during his heydays. He had first started using it way back in 1981. At the same time, it has also been learned that the WWE Hall of Famer has been unfollowed on Twitter by two big WWE superstars. One of them is the reigning WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins who is Becky Lynch's fiance and the other superstar is Triple H, who is one of Flair's best as well as old friends. Both of them were also part of 'Evolution' which was head by the 'King of Kings'. Evolution is one of the best teams in WWE history and arguably the best in the Ruthless Aggression era.
