If you would have asked me which wrestler was most likely to do something like this it would be Jay Phoenix. Not pleasant I know but I always got that vibe from him.

Those Stateside probably know him as the guy who attacked Samoa Joe with a pillow during a poker game at a UK indy.

 

Lots of stuff on UKFF:

Jim Brown is one of many reasons that Britwres is the best in the world. He's ripped off Hospitals, Locker Rooms at Chikara (Which he flew himself to and worked for free which didn't endear him to many from what I gather), and stole the first place trophy from a freestyle wrestling tourney he came fourth in. He also appeared on a prime time Game Show last year as well. While he is indeed blackballed from the UK Wrestling scene I find it amazing he's never really had a major thrashing.

I am sure you are the same but I would have preferred him to be just a Britwres sleaze ball over an alleged child predator.

Totally. There's all manner of stories coming out over the past couple of months about his decorum on social networking sites with minors whom he doesn't know, as well as his behaviour with the daughter of a well known UK wrestling family. Also, even worse, he worked as a development coach at Motherwell FC dealing with youth.

I was thinking about pre-04 WWE Regal lately. Now I haven't seen these matches in a long time, but I remember him having ultimately bad feuds with Jericho, Edge, and RVD. At the same time, I think everything he's done for the last three years or so has been great. Was there a point where he just clicked with the WWE style?

I'm guessing this is at least partially to undermine Highspots, especially the line about how "This is the only website authorized to sell Ric Flair® memorabilia."

 

Also, while the business of selling 5 minute phone calls and video chats is pretty embarrassing, Bret Hart, who doesn't have Flair's financial issues, has been offering similar services.

I hadn't thought of that... but it is a good "Fuck You" to Highspots.

 

The trick is going to be getting traffic to the site. Highspots has a regular customer base, mailing list, and a decade or so of knowing how to work Google to get high placement on searches (even if they're simply buying keyword ads).

 

I doubt that Flair.com is run by a bunch of folks who are super savy on driving traffic.
