June 27, 201213 yr comment_5508295 Financially speaking Ric doesn't need another divorce. I'd agree that this is an obviously unhealthy relationship and a break up would probably be for the best, but I don't think Flair would choose any better fifth time around.This time he should fight for alimony, then have the checks sent directly to the previous exes. Flair must have a codependent personality to keep getting married at his age.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511845 I just found out about this and was surprised to not see any discussion of it. http://wrestlingclassics.com/cgi-bin/.ubbc...=1;t=127476;p=0 Rock. Bottom.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511847 Eh, ICP has a good rep for their payoffs and treating wrestlers well in general. Is it something he probably would have done during his original run of signings & other appearances? Probably not, but it's not really a big deal, especially given the limbo he's in right now.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511848 It may not be a big deal for someone like Tracy Smothers. But this is Ric Flair we're talking about. Given his stature in the industry and all the money he's earned, this should be comically beneath him.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511849 We already knew Ric was a whore. This is just arguing over the price. John
August 3, 201213 yr Author comment_5511850 *Covering my ears* LA LA LA LA!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! LA LA LA LA!!!!! What are you trying to tell me? Ric Flair is doing what?!?! No he's not! He retired a few years ago! LA LA LA LA!!!! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! LA LA LA LA!!!!!!

Given his stature in the industry and all the money he's earned, this should be comically beneath him.Foley, Nash, and other big names who saved their money have worked for them, so not really.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511852 And Roddy Piper and Great Muta and a shitload of various fairly respectable people. Working for the Clowns doesn't really have any stigma to it, too many guys have done it.
August 3, 201213 yr comment_5511853 This only looks worse with the hindsight of Flair's other problems. If he managed to keep up his finances, this wouldn't merit such a negative saddened response. But because that isn't the case, one (including me) can't help connect the two. It's amazing that this would make stumping for Romney look like the high road.
August 4, 201213 yr comment_5511857 I'm telling you guys, Redneck Flair has endless possibilities. In hindsight, Flair should've teamed with Dick Murdoch in 1991. Flair finds his inner redneck self while Murdoch slowly evolves into the new Nature Boy.
August 4, 201213 yr comment_5511859 I can't say I am surprised. From some of the indy guys I've chatted with, apparently the clowns pay VERY well and are quite respectful and appreciative of the workers.
August 4, 201213 yr comment_5511865 In all seriousness, working for the clowns might not make a top 20 list of depressing Flair stories from the past 3 years. What will be depressing are the stories that will come out afterwards where the clowns will have to pay his meth tab on the Drug Bridge.

What will be depressing are the stories that will come out afterwards where the clowns will have to pay his meth tab on the Drug Bridge.Seriously, he was banned from the Hard Rock Cafe on Citywalk in Orlando for "inappropriate behavior," and with his history, it's likely that is code for "whipped his dick out and spun it around in front of horrified tourist families."
August 6, 201213 yr comment_5512020 Gathering of the Juggalos is objectively one of the biggest indy wrestling events going. It's not my cup of tea, but I'm certainly not going to look down on Flair for taking a well paying booking that will have him in front of many thousands of people and get lots of press coverage. It's a great show to be booked on all things considered. Is it any worse than working on TNA house shows that drew 200-300 people? This year's has all sorts of names involved.....Rock N Roll Express, Waltman, Vader, John Morrison, Masters, Lashley, Carlito, Matt Hardy, Steiner, Corino, Cabana.....fairly impressive lineup
August 7, 201213 yr comment_5512129 http://www.juggalogathering.com/gotj/content/acts/act80.jpg Looking at the list of names for the Juggalo deal and I really can't tell if that picture of Chris Masters is from a video game or not.
August 8, 201213 yr comment_5512209 Outside of Flair being hit with a projectile sharp, hard, body fluid or otherwise I don't see the big detail outside of the Carolinas the veneer of respectability is gone and the Clowns treat and pay performers well. Terry Funk put them over huge in his book.
August 8, 201213 yr comment_5512226 ICP were indy wrestlers way way before they ever made it big in music. For anyone that has an Observer subscription i'd highly recomend the podcast Alvarez did with Violent J either late last year or early this year, I actually thought it was one of the better interviews they've had on the site. ICP also was on one of the early AOW shows with Cabana which is worth a listen too. Anyways, besides whatever they're gonna have him doing at the wrestling show, i'm amused that they've got Flair hosting the Saturday IPPV concert portion of the gathering with this lineup GotJ MAIN STAGE SATURDAY - AUGUST 11, 2012 Host: Ric Flair 6:00 PM: Cold 187um 6:45 PM: P.O.D 7:45 PM: Blaze 8:30 PM: Tech N9ne 9:45 PM: Geto Boys 11:00 PM: ICP
August 15, 201213 yr comment_5512758 Don't blame Flair: Ric Flair was in fact at Gathering of the Juggalos over the weekend and hosted the main stage. His presence at the show was cut short, however, after he got hit with a water bottle that was thrown from the crowd and he walked out, refusing to return.Credit: PWInsider
August 20, 201213 yr comment_5513142 Here's my prediction, as soon as this lawsuit business is over. Flair goes back to the WWE.
