At 73 years old, wrestling legend Ric Flair continues to live up to his iconic nickname, “The Nature Boy.” Despite being retired from active competition, he remains in the public eye and can connect uniquely with fans through personalized Cameo videos.
Flair, a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, has been able to capitalize on his larger-than-life persona and popularity by offering these personalized video messages. Fans have flocked to this opportunity to receive personal news from the wrestling legend, regardless of whether they love or hate him.
During a recent To Be The Man podcast episode, Flair revealed just how lucrative his venture into Cameo has been. He stated that over the past 21 months, he had made an impressive $700,000 from these personalized video messages.
For Flair, this is another way to keep himself in the public eye and connect with his legion of fans. Despite being retired from the ring, he continues to find ways to remain relevant and beloved in professional wrestling.
“Listen, I made $700,000 doing Cameos. They’re just a minute long [laughs]. That’s just talking for two minutes. That is 21 months.”
Whether Ric Flair will emerge as the top earner on Cameo remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure – his personalized messages will undoubtedly be infused with the classic Nature Boy charm that fans know and love.
WWE recently prohibited their Superstars from creating Cameo accounts after several of them, including Big E, Kevin Owens, and Alexa Bliss, were generating significant income from selling these videos. However, Flair was exempted from this ban because he was a WWE Legend under a different contractual arrangement.
As Flair continues to engage with his fans through this medium, it will be interesting to see how much he can earn and how his unique charisma translates to the personalized messages he delivers.
