Ouch: The Worst Injuries In Professional Wrestling

Reid Flair

Reid Flair was an up and coming wrestler and also the son of wrestling icon Rick Flair. As is common in wrestling, Reid struggled with drug addiction. He was arrested on felony charges of heroin possession and once went to rehab. Sadly, that was not enough for him to get sober. He was found dead in a hotel room in 2013 of a heroin overdose. Reid was only twenty-five years old. Two years later, his sister under the name Charlotte signed a contract to face fellow WWE Diva Paige at an event. Her reason for entering the wrestling world was to do so as a tribute to her brother Reid. At the event, Paige made snide remarks to Charlotte saying, “your little baby brother, he didn’t have much fight in him did he?” People immediately lashed out that the statement was too low of a blow. It was also said that the Flair family did not give permission to speak about Reid’s death in such a context and the WWE immediately abandoned the storyline.
