Ric Flair’s impeccable career in the squared circle is only matched by the controversies he has been part of in his personal life. And yesterday was no different. Flair found himself kicked out of a restaurant after a conflict with the staff.

According to the Nature Boy’s version, after spending $1,500 on a meal and taking photos with several customers, an incident with the kitchen manager led to the WWE legend getting ousted from the establishment. But it seems that wasn’t quite the case. The restaurant released a statement while footage from the restaurant went viral on social media.

In response to the complaint by Flair, Piesones’ co-owner, Jerry Roberts, made a statement.

He noted that he had reviewed the security footage and expressed his satisfaction at the way his staff had handled the situation.

This news quickly spread among the restaurant chains that are in close proximity to each other. Stone Fired Pizza, located a few miles away took Twitter to provide additional context on the incident. According to the manager, the WWE legend was “drunk and making a fuss about the staff”. At one point he “threw a woo directly into a blind grandmother’s face.” The manager also added that Flair “picked up furniture and swung it menacingly” after confronting staff. In the end, the establishment kicked him out to avoid further complications. This surely led to another string of bad PR for Flair, as fans took no time to introduce Flair with their thoughts.

Fans rally against The Nature Boy for “embarrassing himself”

As soon as the video surfaced online, fans started calling out Ric Flair for his behavior. Flooding the comment sections, they made sure that Flair was aware that he surely did not have the public’s support in this case. One fan simply called out Flair for embarrassing himself in this situation. He tweeted, “Ric Flair is embarrassing himself”. The fan probably just wished that Flair would’ve handled the situation more calmly.

While another set of fans decided to make fun of Flair for his bizarre choice of words. During his argument with the staff, he proclaimed that he put the place over. Something that caught the attention of two fans, who tweeted, “Only Ric Flair would say that he put a food place over” and “Put this place over” 😂😂😂 Ole Rick jobbing out for the local pizza place”. ‘Putting over’ is the wrestling term for promoting someone in the eye of the public at one’s own cost. Well, Flair surely did put them over now then.

Ric Flair has had his demons. Something aptly pointed out by a fan who wrote, “I think Ric Flair might have a drinking problem.” And it is actually true. The Nature Boy has been open about the fact that his decades-long wrestling career often involved consuming a staggering 20 drinks a day. Something that had a detrimental effect on his body. This led to him being involved in such controversies. Thus leading him to be called a sad old man by some fans. “What a sad, pathetic old man he turned out to be.” Well, we hope that Flair manages to crawl out of the situation considering that the proofs are surely against him. What do you think? Did Flair actually put the restaurant over now? Let us know in the comments.
