Ric Flair not only had a hard time “holding these alligators down,” he had a hard time holding the tears back Friday.
“The Nature Boy,” as he was commonly known as during his days in the squared circle, was surprised with a 70th birthday celebration in Atlanta, with attendees ranging from: his daughter, WWE star Charlotte Flair; to former boxing heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield; wrestlers Triple H and Chris Jericho; former NBA stars Dennis Rodman and Charles Barkley; and Los Angeles Rams and former University of Georgia star running back Todd Gurley (Flair is a huge UGA fan).

For those of you who may have forgotten, Flair was quite the showman in his day who was known for his flashy and braggadocious style.
