The sad decline of Ric Flair
Long but fascinating read. Has there ever been a Pro Wrestler who had a well adjusted family life?
http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...tler-real-life Summary: Today the story is about a man known in the court system as Richard Morgan Fliehr, 62, born in 1949 and adopted by parents who raised him in Minnesota. That’s what he was called this past April, when a judge ejected Fliehr from his Charlotte home because he couldn’t pay his rent. That’s what he was called in May, when he faced an arrest order for an unpaid $35,000 loan. That’s what he’s called on the paychecks from Total Nonstop Action, a second-tier outfit where he’s still compelled to perform despite suffering from alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and where almost everything he earns goes toward old debts: lawyers, ex-wives, the IRS, former business partners, and anyone who made the mistake of lending him money.

good guy turns bad bad guy turns good betrayal crowd pandering crowd insulting you can take most of the concepts directly from traditional T.V. Soap Operas. For some reason all the fanboys got their wrestling tights in a bunch about Cena. He isn't any worse a wrestler or fake than 70% of the other guys but the anti Cena movement started and now all the wrestling diehards considering it a point of pride to hate Cena. It's the 'in' thing to do. Whatever. I stopped watching it a few years ago when they stopped showing boobies and ass as much.

its been known for a while that Ric Flair has continued wrestling for a long time because he was badly in debt....despite all of the fame and money he was making etc.
i just don't understand how some people can be so foolish with money, especially when they rake in as much as some do. Mike Tyson, MC Hammer, Ric Flair.....hell even Hulk Hogan is having money issues, he probably won't have a dime either when he (if ever, if that gives you a hint as to why he's still in the wrestling biz) retires. |
