Charlotte Flair told reporters in North Carolina recently that she isn’t over the death of her brother. Reid Flair died on March 29th, 2013 at the age of 25.
“I wish I could say that I was over losing my brother, but I’m not,” Flair told the Charlotte Observer. “I mean, I have so many regrets. … How did my brother never get to see me wrestle? … I ask myself that every single day: How am I here, where I am, and he never got to see me? This was his dream. I don’t know if I’ll ever get over it.”
Reid Flair had just returned home from a tour with AJPW in Japan at the time of his death.
Charlotte also spoke about the unique challenges she faces in her career due to being Ric Flair’s daughter.
“My dad’s legacy means the world to me,” Flair said. “(But) do I pay homage to him or do I not? Is it OK to ‘WOO’ , is it not OK, Is it too much? Is it not? I just have to tell myself, and remember, that I am way more athletic than my dad was and what I am doing now, it’s OK to continue my dad’s legacy and carry the last name, and WOO, and strut, and do all those things because … I’m going above and beyond and showing that I’m also a talent — versus just Flair’s kid.”
