Maria Turns 26 & Ric Flair Turns 60, Richards, & More

Phoenix New Times has an article regarding yesterday’s official announcement on WrestleMania 26 heading to Phoenix.

Today is SmackDown Diva Maria’s birthday. She turns 27 years old.

Today is WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s birthday. He turns 60 years old. “Does that mean I’m going to grow up anytime soon?” Flair asked a columnist at the Charlotte Observer. “I feel like I’m 25. That’s the problem.” “I don’t feel any different,” Flair added. “Sixty doesn’t bother me. Fifty didn’t bother me. Forty did because somebody told me I’d have to stop wrestling.”

TNA personality “Dr. Stevie” Richards was also at the show as he took part in a tag team match. Richards had missed his scheduled appearance at Maryland Championship Wrestling’s December show due to suffering a collapsed lung.

NYTimes.com has a lengthy article on WWE Hall of Famer Tito Santana. While The Wrestler paints an extremely grim picture of aging professional wrestlers, not every ring veteran shares that experience. Santana is the antithesis of Rourke’s character, Randy “The Ram” Robinson, having spent his money wisely, steered clear of drugs and alcohol and staying true to his wife of 27 years.
