Ric Flair Will Introduce Insane Clown Posse at the Gathering Of the Juggalos

All, Legends, Music, Video, Wrestling, WWE Tim Ryan July 16th. 2012, 7:00pm

Well this might very well be the saddest Ric Flair news to date, and that’s a rather large accomplishment. Fresh off his release from TNA and getting slugged by his wife — and presumably in-between takes for the energy booster he promotes — the “Nature Boy” has been announced as part of the roster of big names slated to appear at the 13th Gathering Of The Juggalos in Illinois.

That is, of course, if you consider The Fat Boys, Onyx, Warren G, and Eazy-E’s son as sizzling celebrities. Given the desperate company the living legend will be surrounded by for this annual five-day disaster, we can only assume Flair continues to spend his money just as quickly as it is earned.

Having said that, we greatly look forward to the footage of Flair introducing Insane Clown Posse. That’s a moment of unintentional glory that simply can’t miss no matter how hard anyone tries.

In case you’re interested, and we know you aren’t, here’s a video promoting the event. What an unfortunate collection of assholes, not to mention the horrific production quality.

Regulators…mount up?
As much as I loved Flair’s work, this is kinda sad. Typecast – what else can he do at this point in his life?

How many people die at these events? Anyone ever go or know anyone that did?
Hey, It’s in Illinois! Vez, is this where you want to meet up for a beer?

Emma from Deadspin attended one undercover last year. It was a fun read. I’ve been to a bunch of music festivals and this sounded 100 times more white trash with double that the meth.

I’m surprised the Fat Boys are still alive.

I’m surprised the Fat Boys are still alive. SROD
I’m going to do a Wiki search, but I swear at least one of them is dead.
Also, return of the Geto Boys. I could have swore Bushwick was dead.

On December 10, 1995, Buff Love died of a heart attack in Rosedale, Queens, New York. He was 28 years old and reportedly weighed 450 lbs.

On October 18, 2010, the cable network TV One’s aired Unsung: The Story of The Fat Boys, and mentioned that the two surviving members have reunited, and are currently touring with Doug E. Fresh, temporarily filling in for the ‘HumanBeatbox.’ There has been no confirmation if he is the new third permanent member.
I feel like I’m reliving my late 80s youth.

“Disorderlies” is long overdue for a reboot.

“Disorderlies” is long overdue for a reboot.
The old man was over-medicated and the Fat Boys accidentally figured it out.
/All I remember from the movie. I saw it with my mom and brother in the theater.

I thought the promo was some two minute video. 23 minutes later I couldn’t believe the random names being thrown out.
I just remember Vader is wrestling, Cheech and Chong are performing, and Master P and Project Pat are rapping.

When it comes to the Fat Boys, the song “$3.99 for all you can eat” off the Krush Groove soundtrack is a classic.

I actually went to The gathering a few years ago. It was when Tila Tequila got a bunch of stuff thrown at her. Definitely was an interesting experience(drug bridge, people tripping,random celebrities) and everyone is pretty wasted. I was surprised how clean the event was and how nothing got damaged until the last night.

KC, doin’ the work I was too lazy to do.
450 is waaaay too big.
I watch Unsung (at least when Viacom lets me), but I missed the Fat Boys’ episode. Probably on purpose. Wasn’t a huge fan…

Good for Youk. Take the high road, man. Beat ‘em on the field, not in the newspaper.
Bobby V is such a knot-head.

i read the story that KC Res pointed me to about this that Deadspin did. i suppose it’s exactly what i assumed this thing would be like.

check that. this event includes a JCW Wrestling event with some names like Matt Hardy included. That plus the “drug bridge” makes this seem like what Hamsterdam looked like on The Wire.

It’s $175 for each 5 day ticket. That 5 day combo is for 5 people to go all five days. Had to check it out after your post. The most amazing part was that they were sold out of the $400 tickets…

I am pretty sure The Game will be there as well which cracks me up. I also think tech n9ne is going to be there again and he puts on a great show. Never really listened to him before that concert, but he made me and all my friends fans after his performance. The worst part about the gathering is if it is hot out, there is really no where to go to stay cool unless you have an RV.
