Ric Flair Reportedly Done With TNA, But He’s Still Making Plenty of Money Doing Commercials
Reports have recently surfaced indicating Ric Flair is done with TNA wrestling. According to a source inside TNA, the limousine riding, jet plane flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun quit the company, but TNA is trying to save face by making it appear they got rid of him. Whatever the case may be, the two sides have parted ways.
Flair will inevitably resurface in the WWE because the guy has had a more difficult time walking away from wrestling than Brett Favre had retiring from football. Not that any of us should complain. Despite the fact that he’s looking more and more like a pulsating leather jacket that could explode at any minute, he remains entertaining.
However, Flair’s contract as the face of Coca Cola’s new energy booster is supposedly paying him enough cash that he could technically walk strut away any time he wants. Additionally, I had no idea this energy booster or this commercial existed.
Amazing.
While we’re here, take in a few minutes of this all-timer of a Flair video, aptly entitled “Best of Ric Flair going nuts.” Among the countless gems in this lengthy clip, here are three moments I particularly enjoyed:
6:33 mark — Flair explains that he was born with a golden spoon.
8:16 mark — A ridiculous “Woo Off” for the ages. It’s basically a cartoon heroically coming to life.
11:28 mark — In a rant directed at Roddy Piper, Flair claims to be the President of the United States until an alert Mean Gene corrects him. But of course.
Legend? Legend.

WOOO!!!

Unless they’re paying quite a bit of cash, it looks like Ric Flair needs all the cash he can get.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:19 PM
Last time I make this correction, but it’s fucking “WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” WITH AN H
May 25th, 2012 at 2:21 PM
I read that as a prolonged and quite loud “who.” I know how you feel about this, but I don’t like writing a long “who.”

Now if only Hogan would quit TNA and take Bischoff with him, they would have a shot of being a legit #2. They have all the ingredients to be awesome and they’re showing signs of it, but they seemingly refuse to make money

to be the man, you gotta beat the man.

A pillar of my childhood. Wooooooooo indeed.

With guys like Austin Aries (The Greatest Man To Ever Live)and Joey Ryan and Xima Ion, and a bunch of other guys they are making some good moves.

Fixed the “Flair claims to be the President of the United States” link.

Better be more than a lot. He’s bankrupt.

I remember when Flair went apeshit during an interview with Mean Gene. He stripped to his boxers, threw his shoes into the crowd and started dropping elbows on nothing in the ring.
I also remember his in-ring “heart attack.”

Oh, what Jim posted.

Ric Flair had my mother thrown out of a bar in Charlotte because she kept heckling him.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:32 PM
Serves her right.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:33 PM

Also, great post for a Friday afternoon before a long weekend. Productivity is going to be difficult from here on out, so what’s everyone grilling this weekend?
May 25th, 2012 at 2:35 PM
Kinda related but not http://youtu.be/Pr8u2gdwXPQ

You’re sick.
My stepdad and Flair used to be friends and they were drinking buddies. One time my mom was with them and she kept giving him shit because he was hitting on girls his daughter’s age. Which is gross when you consider what he looks like.
May 25th, 2012 at 2:38 PM
So you’re mom wanted to ride Space Mountain..oldest ride, longest line
May 25th, 2012 at 2:38 PM

Nice. Feeling your pain. Our daycare provider is out on maternity leave so my kids have been home three weeks straight. We’re all going nuts.

May 25th, 2012 at 2:47 PM
Was supposed to have two college buddies coming into town for Memorial Day weekend. We were (along with two buddies that live here) just going to grill burgers and steaks and drink beer at my place the entire weekend. Then one buddy’s fiance got all pissy about him leaving town, so he dropped, then the other buddy dropped, now the whole thing is off.
Women … God I hate ‘em.

TNA is garbage. The WWE is boring, but no where near as horrible as TNA. Good for Flair.
Once Dixie Carters father gets tired of losing money on the promotion WWE will buy the video library.

Sad to say I pretty much post that on twitter once a week.
