Lesson Learned: It's never too late to jump in the ring, literally

I’ll be honest I’ve never been much of a wrestling fan but when you meet someone like Ric Flair it’s hard not to get excited especially when there are hundreds of his fans surrounding you screaming his signature wooooo, try it, it’s fun to say out loud.

I got to shake the world heavyweight champion’s hand at the North Carolina Sea Food Festival in Morehead City. Ric’s teamed up with the North Carolina Lottery and is coming out with a new scratch off card, yes wooooo could be somewhere in the tickets name but WrestleMania fans will most likely be more interested in the $100,000 top prize. He was at the festival to promote the ticket and of course meet and greet some fans.

So why is the Nature Boy so interested in the lottery?  He says for the kids and that was good enough for me.

Flair has definitely got some flare and charmed me into wanting to attend his out of retirement debut in November; too bad it’s in Australia. Yes, he’ll be heading back in the ring to face off against the one and only Hulk Hogan. The first time he’ll compete since a big loss to Shawn Michaels. But the champs got about 36 years of experience under his belt and looked like he could crush me with 2 fingers even at the age of 60.

But Mr. Flair’s muscular physique isn’t the only reason why I would bet in his favor, he’s the type of man I could never really see retire because he’s so passionate about the sport and has this admirable desire to constantly impress his fans. Which made me think, if and when you find something you absolutely love to do, it’s never too late to jump in the ring, literally…lesson learned.
