Ric Flair posted a video of Reid Flair wrestling earlier this month

The 16-time World Champion has spoken and posted about Reid several times, and it has always been an emotional moment for him.

Earlier this month, he posted a video of his son in WCW in his younger days and expressed that his son would always be with him at heart.

"The Best Throwback! Reid Always Had My Back! I Think About Him Every Single Day! I Know He Is Always With Me In My Heart!" he posted.

Ric Flair has had a tumultuous personal life, and his son's death has always been a devastating incident for him. Reid was his youngest son from his second marriage to Elizabeth Harrell, whom he married in 1983.

Reid was on his way to following his father's footsteps. He appeared on WCW programming and signed a developmental contract with WWE in 2007. Unfortunately, he passed away from a drug overdose in 2013.

On the work front, Ric Flair was part of AEW's final match for Sting, where Sting and Darby Allin successfully defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship, which was later vacated.
