Ric Flair is often looked at as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, with the Nature Boy having achieved everything there is to be done inside the ring. His incredible wrestling career is what allowed him to go on and become a respected manager as well, with fans instantly showing him respect.
Flair's charisma and ability to cut an amazing promo helps to make him the ideal manager for someone. Considering the fact that he can work as a great heel on the outside, or be a beloved babyface, the Nature Boy has been one of the best managers in wrestling history as well.
10 Lacey Evans
Out of all the wrestlers that Ric Flair has managed, the one that truly didn't work was Lacey Evans. WWE hinted at them being in a relationship which was very strange to watch, and overall it just didn't connect with audiences at all.
The fact that the storyline was cut short as well didn't help, with Evans becoming pregnant in real life stopping this in its tracks, which led to this being one of the most forgettable runs for Flair.
9 The Miz
Another wrestler that Ric Flair managed was The Miz, with this being another pairing that did not work at all. For some reason, WWE tried to push Miz as a babyface who was going to take after the Nature Boy, which just didn't work.
Had they taken this partnership as two heels then things might have worked out well. But instead, Miz tried to be a babyface and even took on Flair's Figure Four, with this just not clicking the way it could have.
8 Andrade
A new wrestler that Ric Flair has worked with is Andrade, who is currently engaged to Ric's daughter, Charlotte. The Nature Boy headed to Mexico to work with Andrade which was a surprise for the fans and something that worked well.
While it was so far just a one-off moment, there are plenty of rumors that the Nature Boy could be set to work with AEW and continue his partnership with Andrade moving forwards.
7 Beer Money, Inc.
When Ric Flair joined TNA, he was primarily used as a manager for younger talents while also having occasional matches. He was paired with Beer Money, Inc. who were one of the top tag teams in the industry at that point.
Their partying style is something that worked well with Ric's own personality and it was easy to see how they would work well together. Adding two great talents alongside Ric just felt natural, and they all managed to connect perfectly.
6 Doug Williams
Doug Williams being paired with Ric Flair is something that just made sense. While Doug wasn't always the biggest name in the company, his history and impact within British wrestling makes him one of the most well-respected stars in the industry.
Because of that, the two men being put together was a great idea, and it also really helped Williams. It made him stand out a lot more, as having someone like Flair push him was a great move for everyone involved.
5 Matt Morgan
Another wrestler that Ric Flair got to manage is Matt Morgan, who is someone that WWE had a lot of hopes for but things never quite clicked. However, in TNA, Morgan was able to live up to his potential and the Nature Boy helped make that happen.
Morgan was a talent who was brought into Flair's faction, Fortune, which is something that a lot of wrestlers were able to benefit from throughout Ric's run with the company.
4 Frankie Kazarian
Frankie Kazarian is another wrestler that Ric Flair took under his wing as a protégé, which also made perfect sense. They connected well and everything they did worked, especially as Kazarian was really at the top of his game.
Flair was on hand to help Kazarian win matches and it really rose his profile in the company at the time. Frankie was able to go to new heights, while Ric had somebody totally fresh to work with on-screen.
3 Randy Orton
The brilliant thing about the partnership between Randy Orton and Ric Flair is that they are genuine friends behind the scenes as well. While they worked together during their Evolution days, it wasn't until much later on in their careers that Ric truly managed him.
Orton was at his best as an arrogant heel when they came together and the connection worked perfectly. Flair was almost like a hype-man for the Viper, just constantly providing praise for him which worked out really well.
2 AJ Styles
TNA attempted to turn AJ Styles into a mini-Ric Flair, which in retrospect, was a mistake. However, the partnership between the two greats was brilliant. With AJ being one of the best of all time, he just fit nicely with the Nature Boy.
They had great chemistry together on the microphone and they had some hilarious segments as well, which really helped to just raise AJ's profile even more in the industry.
1 Charlotte Flair
One of the most memorable managerial roles of Ric Flair's career was when he got to work with his daughter. Charlotte made her way into wrestling and quickly became a top name, and adding Ric to her overall package only enhanced that.
Their first run together on the main roster was incredible. Ric hyped her up while also helping to cheat at ringside, which became an added element to her matches. It was a little difficult to boo someone as beloved as Ric Flair, but the tandem worked.
