Ric Flair deserves all the credit of having one his extravagant robes to be placed and immortalized at the Smithsonian's Pop Culture Exhibit. As a fan of him since childhood due to my father showing me his collection of wrestling videos, I've been amazed at Flair's charisma, ring attire (that looks custom made with many gems from the jeweler placed there), and how the fans are screaming "Wooooo!" on the top of their lungs when he delivers his signature knife-edged chops.
When I got married a few years ago, I asked for a favor to my husband to engrave a quote on the ring when we bought it at the jewelers in Indianapolis, IN stating "Diamonds are forever, and so is our relationship!" that I adapted from Flair's speeches.
