WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair took to his social media accounts to comment on the news that former NWA World Champion and WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race passed away yesterday at the age of 76.

Today We Lost Not Only A Great Personal Friend, But In My Estimation The One And Only REAL World Champion. Without Harley Race, There Was No Ric Flair. I Tried My Hardest Every Day To Live Up To His Standard In The Ring. pic.twitter.com/vUnQFuM0CT
