Gorgeous George hasn't been around for a long, long time. However, Nature Boy Ric Flair is amazingly still getting in the ring. Not the same man he was when he went up against Ravishing Rick Rude for the World Heavyweight title back in '93.

I googled G. George. He died in '63 at age 48. It is suspected that his liberal use of alcohol had something to do with his early death.
He sure knew how to draw a crowd.
