How did Ric Flair never get tired?

[Dave24]

A top tier wrestler back in the day(I can't for the life of me remember who it was) was doing a shoot interview and was asked about Ric Flair. He said that in a match against Flair at about the 45 minute mark of the match , Flair says to him "We should begin to turn this match up a notch!!!" The wrestler said "What?!! I was just about to drop from exhaustion!" and here is Flair talking about "turning it up!!!"

In fact Barry Windham said that he has fought Flair in one hour broadways( time limit draws) in two different cities on the same fukkin day!!! Hell, he and Flair actually fought a 90 min broadway down in Florida and he (windham) won a bet with someone in the back by running for a mile after the match.

But all in all people have said that back in the day Flair could wrestle for an hour and then go partying all night and be ready to fight the next night.

How did Flair have such great conditioning/endurance compared to other wrestlers? What were his workout routines like back in the 1970s-1980s?

You see that he is still alive after all the shyt he's been doing to his body. 71 years old. Got to be blessed with genes. If he lived a healthy life. He be one if those 100 year old cats.

Stairmaster and 500 hindu squats a day

What's really amazing is that Flair fukked up his fukking back when he was not a top star. He ended up losing a lot of weight and not doing flat-back bumps like everyone else does (this actually might help out with this stamina tbh).

But yeah his genetics are ridiculous, but he also had to be on cocaine in those matches. I've heard on multiple shoots that he would pretty much rule the stairmaster while everyone else was lifting weights.

Yeah, I remember reading in Bret Hart's biography I think about Flair using the stairmaster. Do you know how many minutes a day he used the stairmaster?

Sorry mate, don't know or remember.

 

[malbaker86]

fukking crazy and it probably has to do with genetics and like people have said, that stairmaster. I googled Ric Flair workout and he said 30 minutes a day of the stairmaster

They said he was on a stairmaster in a gym all the time

Cocaine

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I do think it was do to him doing crazy cardio workouts and etc.

But also do to that older style of "slowing shyt down" not a lot of "explosive" shyt and sprinting or jumping and alot of resthold type shyt.

Hell you can get in the ring with someone and put them in a headlock for like 5 minutes, then put them in a wristhold for another 15+ working that shyt. Then throwing them out the ring for a 10 count that you break up extending and etc.

shyt was different back then

• Conditioning.
• Cocaine
• Wrestling in America; Hogan could work great technical matches in Japan, but in America, it's all about showmanship.
• Having a Great Partner; Having a person your familiar with, you begin to develop a chemistry, which allows you to trust them to not hurt you, but internally your already a step ahead in terms of knowing the next move/the next spot/or a match event like a run in.
• Proper bumping. As if you know how to hit the canvas, you won't get the wind knocked out of you.

He lived on that stair master.


That machine WILL test you. I swear by it for cardio

It’s hilarious to me that Vince will use the name
“Thunderdome” from Halloween Havoc 89


But not use all the WCW IP they have access to



a Halloween Havoc this year for instance would be smart
