Is this story about Ric Flair true?

[ohtani's jacket]

This morning I was reading a story about a woman who stole babies and sold them to rich families.

It says that Ric Flair was one of the babies she abducted. Is this a true story?

I don't have the book on me, but the first chapter in Flair's autobiography is entitled "Black Market Baby" - where he says that he was a victim and illegally removed from his mother.

I don't know how this could happen, but there needs to be some definitive list of all of the strange, unbelievable things that have happened to wrestlers.

It's true, according to his book. His adopted name was (and is) Richard Morgan Fliehr, but his birth name was Fred Phillips (his biological father was named Luther Phillips), Fred Demaree or Fred Stewart (his biological mother was listed with all three names).

He was also born in Tennessee, so we can only imagine a world where Freddie 'The King' Demaree grew up idolising Jackie Fargo and snagged himself a token AWA World title reign after years of campaigning from Jerry Jarrett, much to the chagrin of would-be top star and real life rival Jumpin' Jerry Lawler. still embittered over Demaree's affair with Lawler's then-wife Kay in '81 and the nerve-touching chants of "Freddie's Kid!" aimed at young Brian Christopher.

Jerry Lawler has never jumped in his life, but maybe in this timeline he's the perfect physical specimen.

Lawyer made a career jumping. Jumping off the ropes, jumping into bumps, and jumping out of bumps, Christ, he's the best jumper ever.

This practice was still in use into the late 1960s.

Lawler had a great standing drop kick too. One he was still breaking out into his 50s

not to mention Lawler's signature move is a fist drop from the 2nd rope

Even at 67, it still looks great:

 

Also, he even did at a baseball game recently, five weeks ago: https://twitter.com/NachoHelmet/status/868585786836475904
