Ric Flair was one of the main reasons I fell in love with wrestling as a kid. I grew up idolizing him. As a person though, I think he is a complete scumbag. Talk about a team player: Angle has to leave the tour due to a family crisis and Flair's acting like a man child because he has no concept of living within his means like the rest of us plebs. Some of us had paid tickets to see him this week, but if he thinks that his bar tab is more important than who are we to matter.

Why is it whenever TNA or WWE goes to Europe all hell breaks loose?
I like Flair, but he's in the wrong here.

This is not shocking if you kept up with the last few years of Ric's career and life. He can never leave wrestling because all he knows is the Nature Boy lifestyle. Richard Fleur doesn't exist anymore.

TNA gets a ton of flack and most of it is deserved, but at the same time I think its' important to give them credit here for standing their ground. It was the right thing to do as Flair is obviously in the wrong.

Am I a bad person if I find this hysterical? I'm picturing AJ Styles and Samoa Joe peering out the back of a school bus (...I don't know why it's a school bus) making the "WOO!" face as they slowly drive away, as Ric Flair stands there with his arms crossed making a grumpy face.

What this situation calls for is for Russo to come out on Impact (with no music and the cameras shaking and whatnot) and shoot on how Flair and how he doesn't respect TNA.
and then it's never spoken of again.

Richard Fleur doesn't exist anymore. It's just like Batman Begins: Random Woman From Flair's Past: But then I found out about your mask. Ric: Ric Flair's just a wrestler, baby. WHOO! Random Woman: No, "this" is your mask. Your real face is the one that bartenders now fear. The man I knew - the man who didn't party - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when you pay off your debts, I'll see him again. (She walks away) Ric: whoo!

Do you see Ric? Do you see you should have taken the fantastic farewell you were given, make a guest appearance every now and then on Raw or Smackdown?

Richard Fleur doesn't exist anymore. Yep. Hasn't he also admitted to trying to get Regal to start drinking again, getting HBK drunk and turning Cena into a big drinker? Good for TNA for not giving him an advance.

Give him the damn money. The party has to go on. Has to. Why should they? He acting lke a child. I mean wrestling is a business and a job. Why should they pay him in advance for work he hasn't done yet. Do you get paid at your job in advance? No. Why should TNA just so he can take that money and get wasted and be the "nature boy" life style? If he doesn't have money. Then that he own fault. Because he blew it on drinks for himself and anybody else he paid for.

Stuff him, TNA's done the right thing. They can't have the major talents blackmailing them for more money, that's just begging to go down the WCW road.

I just assume that Flair is gonna walk all the way home, elbow dropping his coat every mile.
Then, when he crosses the sea, every fish he passes gets a chop, while taunting the mermaids about how he'll make them a women.
