The key to a long career in professional wrestling is to make less go further. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, as an example, counteracted career-threatening knee and neck injuries by transitioning from a technician to a wild brawler, while 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair went the other way. A podgy power-wrestler at the time he suffered a broken back in a 1975 plane crash, Flair slimmed down and adopted a cowardly villain persona, and extended his career by 22 years and 16 world titles.
