What’s the story?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: “Ric Flair walks into a bar...”
Reports have been spreading online that WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair went to a bar in Fort Wayne, IN tonight, and was kicked out five minutes later. According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Flair went to “The Deck at The Gas House” and, allegedly called one of the bartenders a “fat ass.” He was promptly asked to leave.
A few fans were on hand to witness the event and tweeted about it:
Background
Clearly, this isn’t the first time Flair has had issues involving spirits and getting into trouble. A little over a year ago, Flair was treated for a cut hand at a Boston airport after allegedly “acting drunk” by a witness at a bar.
However, both airport police and Flair’s publicist deny that he was intoxicated. Flair was also allegedly drunk during a superstar panel regarding the video game WWE 2K14. It was this fiasco that Jim Ross believes got him fired from WWE that year (Ross was the moderator of that panel and apparently didn’t do enough to keep Flair under control).
Of course, we can’t forget the infamous “Plane Ride From Hell.” Of course, those are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to crazy party stories regarding the Nature Boy.
What’s Next?
Probably nothing. This isn’t the first and, most likely, won’t be the last time Flair is asked to leave an establishment for his behaviour. He didn’t cause a physical altercation and, by all reports, left without a causing a major incident (although he probably let us a hearty “woooo!” as he did).
Unless anything more significant happened, it’s unlikely this one small incident would affect Flairs standing with WWE.
Author’s take
Oh, Ric. We just can’t take you anywhere, can we?
