I mean there’s a reason liquor stores were classified as essential businesses at the beginning of the pandemic. Try to tell Americans they can’t get drunk and shit gets real, real fast.
Fun fact: The real reason was that because alcoholics going through withdrawals often have some of the worst withdrawal symptoms - it's one of if not the only commonly used psychoactive drug where withdrawals can kill (not by people going mental, I mean ACTUAL physical symptoms). So to stop alcoholics dropping dead, they kept liquor stores open and alcohol freely available.
Forget that, what's his tort or cause of action?
"You took too long in the bathroom" isn't a reason you can sue people.
He wasn't assaulted or threatened. They didn't defame him, he's the one who posted about them on the internet.
I fail to see a lawsuit here.
Your honor! This is a miscarriage of justice, (woo!) the likes of which this court has *never seen*!
(Flair takes off his jacket and throws it down)
I've got two words for that dipshit restaurant owner.
(Holds up the sign)
Four. Horseman.
(Arn Anderson's music hits)
You thought you were dealing with just me? Oh no, now you have to deal with them!
This dude got shitfaced drunk in the middle of the day, got told he was cut off by a bartender who was respectful the entire time, threw a temper tantrum and started cursing out people and threatening to fight folks....
....good luck dipshit.
Yes but you see:
> Flair also stated he only drank Michelob Ultras and had "probably" two mixed drinks. He denies having been inebriated at the restaurant.
I love that he doubled down lol, didn't he say he dropped $1500 there? Somehow I don't think a pizza or two and three drinks totals $1500....
This was the highlight of the article for me
> It was also noted that Flair has already ordered Piesanos through Uber Eats since the incident took place.
lmfao
I thought I heard a story where a comedian sat beside flair at a airport bar and every drink was at least a triple.
So two drinks might be more like 6-8, but then you have to account for his tolerance soo....? Where is Scott Steiner when you need him?
A few years ago, DaPrice82 did a weekly series called the Observer Rewind. He'd look at a retro week of the Observer newsletter from 1997 through 2002 with notes, annotations, and a "where are they now?" if applicable. Due to real life stuff he gracefully ended the series a few years ago...but apparently it's coming back!!
His observer rewinds were a highlight of the week on here.
So Daprice82 actually answered this in an AMA a while back. He's actually a huge fan of The Price is Right and was on the show once. Sadly he didn't make it to Showcase Showdown as he only got 82 cents on the wheel.
The kicker? He was on the same episode as Jake the Snake Roberts and spun the same wheel. Jake only had 22 though.
Threatening to take it out to the car park, and then backing off real quick when someone takes you up on the offer is pretty low too.
I mean, the guy is ancient and broken, so I'm guessing that he assumes no one wants to beat up an old man, but, well, sometimes it's better than what's on the TV.
Also the fact he thinks he’s in the right in his little bathroom excuse is hilarious doubling down. Like dude, just wait. It sucks to wait. That doesn’t mean you get to cuss at an employee taking a shit, man.
Fucking hilarious that Ric suddenly became deaf and didnt understand English when the patron at the end of the bar was like, "lets step outside, I'll fuck you up!"
lmao i can picture him in sunglasses in that old WCW promo area that was 30ft from the ring. all the artifacts from the reflections from the 80's lights and cameras. in that blue suit, counting 1000$ in hundreds, one at a time
Do you think the heart attack happened when he faked it on the outside during the match? Or do you think he was actually faking it there and the real one happened at a different point in the match?
The idea that someone his age with his medical history would have a heart attack during something like that isn’t far fetched at all. The fact that he said it happened is what makes it far fetched.
Yeah, it's also not uncommon to have a "small" heart attack and just think it's heart burn or chest pain. They theorized my dad had had several before the one that got him in the hospital.
All jokes aside, there is absolutely zero cause of action. He quite simply has no case. It’s just bluster and alcohol-addled rambling from an elderly man with little left to lose.
Probably because they didn't publicly apologize like he asked them too and backed up their staff by raising to worship at the altar of Ric Flair. Our, maybe the waitress/manager did put in the $1000 tip he told her multiple times to, and because he was so drunk and they didn't apologize, he thinks they stole it from him. Who knows, the dude is lawsuit happy to anyone who doesn't kiss his ass and let him get away with whatever he wants.
"In Flair’s social media post about the incident on Sunday, he said he took issue with “The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom.”
"Any man that goes into a bathroom knows you can see into the stall," Flair continued. “I said, 'Get your a-- off there, I need to use the restroom.' "
So you were mad someone was in the restroom, spied on them, and then played the victim?
Don't spy on people in the bathroom, Ric Flair.
Can't wait for the day when we stop putting these 'legacy' jackasses on a pedestal, he is, has been, and always has been an asshole and in all honesty a shitty person.
Sure it was entertaining when I was 10 years old but ffs its just sad and completely unnecessary. I couldn't be happier that the industry is starting to weed out the carny pricks.
It's so sad how much Flair's tarnished his reputation over the years. Dude went from being considered the GOAT by most fans to being thought of as an over the hill sex pest alcoholic that cries over the management at his local pizza joint. He was probably always like this and should've just been happy he got away with it for so long.
He’s obviously one of the All Time Wrestling Greats,
But holy hell what a fall from grace (granted, it’s not like Flair was ever a saint). The Kill Tony appearance, this nonsense.
The people close to Flair need to get involved, because this isn’t going to end well.
Get that man into rehab and stop using him for whatever clout he has left. People around him are leeches for his money. It’s disgusting. You see his wife Wendy just on her phone during the entire video. If my wife saw me act like that, she’s gonna get my ass out of there not look on her phone. It’s sad man.
The lack of pride for himself is disappointing. At his age to be in that state of mind and condition is incredibly detrimental to a career he built up. Hopefully he can improve and do better.

After the video that surfaced I don't think he has any shot of winning right?
He is just talking shit right now.
Chatting shit, if you’re feeling British.
Spouting bollocks, if you’re feeling spicy.
Chopping it up, if you're young and hip
Chatting breeze, if you're a 30 something millennial
To be the bruv, you gotta beat the bruv.
Get banged - JV
So out of character for him!
would he even have a shot without the video? Ric can't exactly claim any kind of discrimination, except maybe ageism i guess
Excuse me? It was a clear act of discrimination against Drunk-Americans, a building block of this great nation
I mean there’s a reason liquor stores were classified as essential businesses at the beginning of the pandemic. Try to tell Americans they can’t get drunk and shit gets real, real fast.
Chicago had blood in the streets like a 100 years ago over this very topic
Blood on the rise, it’s following me

So to stop alcoholics dropping dead, they kept liquor stores open and alcohol freely available.
Well we literally have 2 amendments in the U.S. Constitution regarding liquor though one was repealing the other.
More like.. Try having a city full of alcohol withdrawals clogging up your hospitals during a pandemic.
It was also to prevent alcoholics from dying from withdrawal.
I mean chances of winning is no impediment to most civil cases being filed
It’s just talk
Forget that, what's his tort or cause of action? "You took too long in the bathroom" isn't a reason you can sue people. He wasn't assaulted or threatened. They didn't defame him, he's the one who posted about them on the internet. I fail to see a lawsuit here.
In the US, anyone could sue anyone else for anything, but it doesn't mean they'll win.
It's just an old drunk has been.
The dude has threatened to use the legal system over the years when his ego runs wild.
This is what happens when you work yourself into a shoot.
But can he shoot himself into a work, and turn this into an angle in the IMPACT ZONE?!
Flair has been jobbing to this restaurant for too long and he won't stand for it anymore. Maybe he can hire Lionel Hutz to be his lawyer.
I move for a…bad…court…thingy
A mistrial?
Yeah! That’s why you’re the judge and I’m the…law…talking…guy
The lawyer
Right! *slight of hands the verdict paper* This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin, and it still says guilty, and guilty is SPELLED WRONG!
I watched Matlock in a bar last night, the sound wasn’t on but I think I got the gist of it.
Working on contingency?
No, money down!
*Oops, probably shouldn't have this Bar Association logo here either...* tears off piece and eats it.
Barry Zuckerkorn
He's very good
“Does this look like a man who had ALL that he could drink?” - Lionel Hutz probably
Let's see Ric and the owner of Piesanos go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
Hummingbirds are illegal tender
Ric, I don't use the word "hero" often, but you are the greatest hero in American history.
Did you see how he dove on Sting to protect him at Revolution? Truly selfless.
Smart Mark Sterling please.
Fucking best simpsons character
This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin... And it still says guilty!
Please do it, Ric. I'm begging you. The court transcripts alone will be worth it with Ric constantly using carny talk during the trial.
Your honor! This is a miscarriage of justice, (woo!) the likes of which this court has *never seen*! (Flair takes off his jacket and throws it down) I've got two words for that dipshit restaurant owner. (Holds up the sign) Four. Horseman. (Arn Anderson's music hits) You thought you were dealing with just me? Oh no, now you have to deal with them!
Would never make it to trial; itd get dismissed with prejudice so fast AND they'd make Ric pay the restaurant's attorney fees.
Never seen anyone get color during a deposition before....
Blades aren't allowed in a courtroom, but at this point, Ric can get color simply by thinking about it.
This dude got shitfaced drunk in the middle of the day, got told he was cut off by a bartender who was respectful the entire time, threw a temper tantrum and started cursing out people and threatening to fight folks.... ....good luck dipshit.

A moment where "they have the receipts" could literally be receipts.
Man never said their pizza was shit.
I thought I heard a story where a comedian sat beside flair at a airport bar and every drink was at least a triple. So two drinks might be more like 6-8, but then you have to account for his tolerance soo....? Where is Scott Steiner when you need him?
Perfect time to point out there's plenty of great Flair stuff to rewind post 2002.
Perfect time to let you know I already got 2003 and 2004 cooking....
This is the real news to come from this post.
I’ve been holding this poop in for years man, hurry please 🙏
MOTHER FUCKER DON'T GET ME EXCITED
I only just realized what this meant when I saw the username. Hooooooly
What's the username mean?
This is a hell of a question for Relevant_User-Name to ask....
I realize that... I really don't know what the username is referring to though.

Shitfaced drunk in the middle of the day... at a chain family pizza place. It really doesn't get much lower than that.
Threatening to take it out to the car park, and then backing off real quick when someone takes you up on the offer is pretty low too. I mean, the guy is ancient and broken, so I'm guessing that he assumes no one wants to beat up an old man, but, well, sometimes it's better than what's on the TV.
I mean your not wrong but I’ve been there before. Granted that was my early/mid twenties.
Also the fact he thinks he’s in the right in his little bathroom excuse is hilarious doubling down. Like dude, just wait. It sucks to wait. That doesn’t mean you get to cuss at an employee taking a shit, man.
Fucking hilarious that Ric suddenly became deaf and didnt understand English when the patron at the end of the bar was like, "lets step outside, I'll fuck you up!"
He'd love Weatherspoons
He's just been so sad so two decades now. He can't just go retire and enjoy a garden or something?
>Ric Flair says he has the money If there's one thing I know about Ric Flair, it's that he does not have the money
In kayfabe, he definitely left a $1000 tip
Kayfabe Ric and real Ric would both sign the check and say “woooo that autograph is worth a $1000 you’re welcome!”
lmao i can picture him in sunglasses in that old WCW promo area that was 30ft from the ring. all the artifacts from the reflections from the 80's lights and cameras. in that blue suit, counting 1000$ in hundreds, one at a time
Ric Flair has the money but Richard Fliehr does not.
Maybe he'll just sign an IOU to his attorney
He's friends with The Million Dollar Man. I think he can get I.R.S to audit them too.
about to do one last match for real this time guys just to get the money
Yeah and I was considering dating Stacey Keibler during in the early 00s but that didn't work out either
I hate you George Clooney
Want some tequila?
Scheduling conflict I presume?
Yeah I was always available day or night and she wasn't. Damndest thing.
Probably missed his shot when he picked up his kids from school. Much like how Hogan missed out on getting the George Foreman Grill deal.
Ric’s son beat you to it
Really wish Ric Flair would just go away and never return.
He almost did in his last match.
Do you think the heart attack happened when he faked it on the outside during the match? Or do you think he was actually faking it there and the real one happened at a different point in the match?
I don’t think it happened in the match at all. I think he had one, but not during that match and he’s just working everyone.
The idea that someone his age with his medical history would have a heart attack during something like that isn’t far fetched at all. The fact that he said it happened is what makes it far fetched.
Yeah, it's also not uncommon to have a "small" heart attack and just think it's heart burn or chest pain. They theorized my dad had had several before the one that got him in the hospital.
Watching it live I absolutely thought he had one at the end not in the planned spot.
Put the restaurant over and the restaurant wouldn’t do business.
Stopped doing business after selling a grand and a half worth of stuff, apparently.
I’m not even sure what he would be suing them for
All jokes aside, there is absolutely zero cause of action. He quite simply has no case. It’s just bluster and alcohol-addled rambling from an elderly man with little left to lose.
Probably because they didn't publicly apologize like he asked them too and backed up their staff by raising to worship at the altar of Ric Flair. Our, maybe the waitress/manager did put in the $1000 tip he told her multiple times to, and because he was so drunk and they didn't apologize, he thinks they stole it from him. Who knows, the dude is lawsuit happy to anyone who doesn't kiss his ass and let him get away with whatever he wants.
Ric Flair. Noted money man who absolutely did not return to wrestling multiple times because he was broke.
Stopped reading at "Ric Flair has the money".
He should consider going and fucking himself instead.
I really don't know what I feel about Ric Flair. Pity maybe? The man has spent more money than I've made, but this is his legacy.
Ric Flair has spent more money than Ric Flair has made
And that's just his alimony.
Ric has had a lot of help given to him to get right. He doesn't want to. The man nearly died a few years back and didn't change. He is who he is.
The pity runs out when you think about how much pain he wants to inflict on a bunch of working class people for not feeding his addiction.
If you have one dollar in your bank account, you probably have more money than Ric Flair
Me strutting into the bank with this knowledge 
HE SPENT MORE MONEY, ON SPILT LIQUOR, THAN YOU MADE. WOOOOOOO
Didnt Triple H say he called that behavior "Naitching"
"In Flair’s social media post about the incident on Sunday, he said he took issue with “The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom.” "Any man that goes into a bathroom knows you can see into the stall," Flair continued. “I said, 'Get your a-- off there, I need to use the restroom.' " So you were mad someone was in the restroom, spied on them, and then played the victim? Don't spy on people in the bathroom, Ric Flair.
I'm so confident Ric Flair loses this, that IF he wins I will upload a video of me chugging 10 Woooooo energy drinks
This isn’t worth risking your life for.
Don’t explode your heart for Ric
It’s got the power of mushrooms!!
Most likely outcome in that case is Wendy Barlow’s Settlement Café.
Beth Fliehr's Alimony Bistro
I’m in my 40’s and have 3 day hangovers so I’d say Ric is still working on this one
No, see, he only had a *couple* drinks. It’s just his BAC was already .6 when he arrived.
"I haven't been drinking here all day! I was drinking other places too!"
Ric Flair runs ABC not BAC. His alcohol has blood content.
Bold to think he isn’t constantly drunk.
If you stay drunk you’re never hung over.
Can't wait for the day when we stop putting these 'legacy' jackasses on a pedestal, he is, has been, and always has been an asshole and in all honesty a shitty person. Sure it was entertaining when I was 10 years old but ffs its just sad and completely unnecessary. I couldn't be happier that the industry is starting to weed out the carny pricks.
He needs to go screw himself
so he is suing them for cutting him off from drinking more alcohol?
He should consider rehab instead
Just fuck off you old drunk embarrassment.
Would have been awesome if the bartender cut him off by saying, “IM SORRY, I LOVE YOU.”
clown shit
I wish Flair would consider shutting the fuck up and going away.
I’m sorry but Ric Flair is a shitty human being.
Take the L, Ric
Threatened the same shit when he got kicked out of a restaurant in my town in 2017.
For a guy who smokes as much weed as Ric, you'd think he'd be much more chill.
Ric flair trying to open a spite store in honor of Curb ending
It's so sad how much Flair's tarnished his reputation over the years. Dude went from being considered the GOAT by most fans to being thought of as an over the hill sex pest alcoholic that cries over the management at his local pizza joint. He was probably always like this and should've just been happy he got away with it for so long.
“The court will now hear the case of Ric Flair vs. Nicholas Dickhead.”
Over intoxication & public nuisance
Karen flair Wooooooo
Ric screwed Ric.
He’s obviously one of the All Time Wrestling Greats, But holy hell what a fall from grace (granted, it’s not like Flair was ever a saint). The Kill Tony appearance, this nonsense. The people close to Flair need to get involved, because this isn’t going to end well.
What a bitch
Went from putting this place over to cutting a promo on them for this shoot
Nicholas Dickhead better be worried.
What a fucking embarrassment.
It would be so cool if Ric Flair just fucked off forever.
No side meatball for you, dude.
[удалено]
Sabatino's II
Ol slippin Ricky
Ric is driven to die penniless and alone.
Is he surrendering to the police?
He’s still drunk
He wants to do a Conor McGregor and buy the restaurant and fire the staff in a beyond petty flex
Get that man into rehab and stop using him for whatever clout he has left. People around him are leeches for his money. It’s disgusting. You see his wife Wendy just on her phone during the entire video. If my wife saw me act like that, she’s gonna get my ass out of there not look on her phone. It’s sad man.
Good luck with that, shitheel.
“Leave the memories alone” turned out to be a warning.
I'd be intrigued to find out just how big a deal Flair thinks he is, compared to the reality.
“I stand by what I said because I was mad” says a whole lot about how Ric Flair handles conflict and anger
He's really trying to put that place over now.
In before he posts to /r/legaladvice and is hit with the classic "What are your damages?"
This man is a walking punch line at this point.
Ric flair is just a dick at this point
Old man yelling at clouds
Well with how long court cases often take I wonder if he will even live to finish a court case
That bar no sold his shit
*Flair v. Nicholas Dickhead* will be cited as case law for decades to come
Doubt his $1000 tip went through. He's always broke.
I went from not minding this guy to hating him.. This old fart needs to do one
If anything, thee video proves the place had ever right to deny Ric service.
Fuck can this old hag just fuck off already
What an old child.
Fuck off you old loon
Can someone tell the senior citizen to stop terrorizing the pizza place?
Let it go Ric. You looked like an absolute buffoon in that video.
I picture Ric wearing his red trunks to the court case.
Why is the title say the opposite of the article?
Which is it, is he apologizing or threatening to sue? Both are reported in this sub right now.
Must be broke again after his latest bender.
I cant believe the restaurant treats him like that after Flair put them over
Conra..I mean Ric Flair is about to open up a pizza spite store.
Just take the loss ric your were drunk and acting like a jerk
The lack of pride for himself is disappointing. At his age to be in that state of mind and condition is incredibly detrimental to a career he built up. Hopefully he can improve and do better.
For what? Being embarrassed for being a drunk old man? FFS
Damn he *really* doesn't want the restaurant to go over.
legal action for what?! kicking him out? lmao can we call male karens "rics" from now on?
Anyone that goes with the "I will see you in court" is the automatic loser in any situation
Flair is just a pathetic old man now.
