LOOK: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce does the Ric Flair strut after touchdown
He may not be a kiss-stealin' wheelin'-dealin' son of a gun like Ric Flair, but Chiefs TE Travis Kelce can strut with the best.

In the world of sports (or sports entertainment) celebratory rituals, the Ric Flair strut is king.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce knows this. And he busted out his own version of the "Nature Boy's" strut after scoring a touchdown against the 49ers.
Kelce may have chosen the Flair strut just because he was against the 49ers. San Francisco flew Ric Flair in to give the team a pep talk before its playoff game against the Packers last season.
Flair is a multi-time world heavyweight champion -- 16 times officially, although the true total is likely even higher -- and one of the most charismatic pro wrestlers ever. Aside from the strut, his "Woooo!" is regularly played on the loud speakers at sporting events.
The strut takes a little more finesse, but Kelce pulled it off nicely.
Not long before Kelce did the Flair strut, the Titans blew a 25-point lead to lose to the Browns, imitating another Ric Flair specialty: The Flair Flop.
