SteelEdge Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 This just up on pwinsider... Reid Flair, the youngest son of WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, has passed away, PWInsider.com has sadly confirmed. He was only 24 years old. Reid was seen in the latter days of WCW, where both he and his father had their shaved in an angle by Vince Russo. He later began training as a pro wrestler under Bobby Eaton and George South, but personal issues, including a heroin arrest, sidetracked what was expected to be instant stardom for Reid, who had an excellent amateur pedigree. At one point, he was slated to debut with Ring of Honor when the promotion was owned by Cary Silkin, but the arrest caused ROH to back off on those plans. That led to the beginning of the end of their relationship with Ric Flair. Since then, there had been talk of Reid going to WWE developmental and the company had taken a look at him, but didn't sign him to a contract. He had worked in All Japan this past January and was slated to make appearances with Ric this weekend in Maryland. Our deepest condolences to the Flair family during what can only be described as a tragic, sad day. So very sad. Thoughts are with Naitch and his family. RIP Reid Flair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Lots of crazy rumours going around, but any way you look at it, having to bury your youngest child, who by all accounts was a good amateur and aspiring pro will be tough on Ric. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 This is utterly awful. 24 is no age, I mean, I'm 23 and it seems mad to me for someone to die at this age. I can't imagine what Ric's going through right now, I hope him and the rest of the Flairs can hold up at this time. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexy Dad Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thoughts are with Ric and his family. I remember seeing Reid sobbing his eyes out at the Hall of Fame 2008, obviously very proud of his Dad and Ric likewise. Sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
