"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is still going strong, "styling and profiling," despite retirement from the squared circle.

From shooting a new fitness DVD going head against former National Basketball Association (NBA) power forward Dennis Rodman, to doing a man show tour in Europe entitled "Audience With Ric Flair," to doing appearances and signings such as this weekend's the Fanatics Authentic Sports Spectacular in Rosemont, Illinois at the Rosemont Convention Center and being the special guest referee for a match between Corporate Kane and Roman Reigns, Flair is still showing the world that he is the man.

"Everybody wants to 'be The Man' for a day and very few are," said the 16-time world champion to Latin Post.

Flair has done it all in the industry, winning titles in the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), defending the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against The Great Muta to battling fellow WWE Hall of Famer Carlos Colon Sr. for the World Wrestling Council (WWC) Universal Heavyweight Championship.

Flair was in many classic feuds, but his travels to Puerto Rico were quite memorable considering not only the sheer violence in his matches with fan favorite Colon -- which the Puerto Rican star acknowledged during his Hall of Fame induction in April -- but also the passion, to put it mildly, that Puerto Rican wrestling fans felt during their classic matches.

"What translated so well was just trying to get to the hotel safely," said Flair about the intensity of competing in Puerto Rico. "They wanted to kill me. It was brutal."

Having competed with and against the Colons (Flair defeated Colon's son, Carlito Jr. for the WWE Intercontinental Championship) and the legendary Guerrero family of Eddie, Hector, and Chavo, Flair is very appreciative of not only their contribution to the sport but the Hispanic fans that follow the sport religiously.

"They love wrestling," said Flair. "The WWE does very well when they go to Mexico. We do very well when we got to Latin America. They love wrestling and have a lot of respect for us."

Flair's wrestling legacy is now being carried by his daughter, Charlotte Flair, the current NXT Divas Champion. Flair was ringside supporting his daughter in her match against Natalya (who had Bret "The Hitman" Hart alongside her) when Charlotte won the championship at "NXT Takeover" and could not help being emotional about his daughter's victory.

"It was the best moment of my life," said Flair. "Of my entire career, that was the proudest moment of my life."

Flair was surprised when Charlotte decided she wanted to get into the business, catching him guard when she decided to join NXT.

"I brought her to the 2012 Hall of Fame induction for the Four Horsemen and she was a personal trainer making close to seven figures, ready to open her own business," said Flair. "Johnny Ace, John Laurinaitis, took one look at her and said, 'Why aren't you wrestling?' An hour later she asked me, 'Why aren't I wrestling?' Two months later she was in Tampa."

Despite her pedigree, like many aspiring wrestlers, she learned quickly that the road to stardom was not an easy one to travel.

"Everyone thinks they can be a wrestler. Good luck with that. No one ever talks about the people that walk in the door the first day and turn around and walk out the next day. That's the number that's never printed," said Flair.

"You really gotta like wrestling to be good at it. When you walk into NXT and they accept you, they beat your brains out. I've been down there to watch. I'm not naive enough to think that I haven't seen to comment on it, but they beat my daughter's brains out everyday. But she loves it because she loves the business. I didn't know how she would react to it when she got there. But it's a tough job. You go to work at 8 o'clock in the morning and then you're done at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and then do promos from 5 to 8. Then Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and sometimes Sundays they have house shows. It's a lot of work."

From the demise of the territories, to the rise and fall of the "Attitude Era" to the lack of long minute matches such as the classic bouts he would have against his favorite time opponent Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

"I loved the 'Attitude Era'," said Flair. "I thought [that era] gave people the opportunity to speak, to be more entertaining. It's hard to be an adult and have creative input into what you want to say when you're handed a script that a [child] can read. We're in a market where we want to attract teens rather than adults and I get that. That's advertising dollars and that's what the world is about. But I feel it holds people back from how they feel. I can tell you this, guys like Hunter [Triple H] and Shawn Michaels, myself, we would have had a very difficult time being ourselves in our respective heyday with the scripts you're handed now."

Flair feels that the WWE will be in good hands with Triple H at the helm, as "The Game" transitions into a more corporate role in the later phase of his career. Flair, who formed the stable "Evolution" with Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista, is not surprised that "The Cerebral Assassin" has adjusted so smoothly to life outside the ring in his current corporate role as Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events & Creative for the WWE.

"He's a smart guy, he knows what's going on," said Flair. "I miss him in the ring, as someone who likes to watch wrestling. That's a calculated risk taking him off TV and having him wear a suit because he was a huge part of the show. But that's the choice he made and he's happy with it. Did I think he was smart enough to be in that role? Yes, absolutely."

As a wrestling fan, Flair is looking forward to Sunday's "Survivor Series," though his favorite performer on the WWE roster, Randy Orton, is currently out of action for Sunday's pay-per-view. The Hall of Famer has fond memories of the annual November PPV, one of "the big four" on the WWE schedule.

"The one that stands out for me the most is the one with [Razor] Ramon and ["Mr. Perfect" Curt] Hennig and [Randy "Macho Man"] Savage," said Flair about his experience competing in the "Survivor Series" PPV. "That was nice. I have so many fond memories of the 'Survivor Series' that it's hard for me to pick out one, but it's definitely one of the PPV's that everyone should watch, it's an awesome experience for the fans."
