A little explo on the Flair Flop....

Ric Flair - TV Tropes

The Man. Slick Ric. Dirtiest Player in the Game. The Nature Boy. Naitch. The sixteen-time World Heavyweight Champion... AND A LIMOUSINE-RIDIN', JET-FLYIN', WHEELIN', DEALIN', KISS-STEALIN' â WOOOOO! â SON-OF-A- …

Face Fault: The "Flair Flop", in which Flair would get hit a few times, stagger forward, then fall flat on his face while his legs went back and up in the air a bit. The joke being, one minute he's the toughest son of a bitch in the room, and the next he's flopping around like a fish. As time went on his opponents would often back off to watch the inevitable flop. Some would even visibly geek out over the spectacle! Whenever you play as Ric Flair in the WWE games, one of your "taunts" is the flop which puts you at a disadvantage. He's even Flair Flopped onto a board covered in barbed wire. As compiled by WWE itself, it can sometimes be prompted by a kiss rather than a punch. His daughter Charlotte would also start using it in her own wrestling carrer. Ah, the Circle of Life. Triple H actually beat her to it, though he took it Up to Eleven.

Flopping like a fish. Nice way of putting it.

Between him and stripping down to his undies, Ric Flair was a promo-cutting, Flair flopping machine!
