Ric Flair Suing Former Manager

According to TMZ Sports, Ric Flair is suing his former management (Legacy Talent and Entertainment) for money he claims he didn’t receive for the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on his life. The amount for that totaled $25,000. He claims that money instead went to his former management group and Flair says he was never informed or given his share of that payment. There was also an endorsement deal with Jake’s Fireworks for $12,000 that Flair says is missing. When he reached out to Legacy, they told him they used it on legal fees, which Flair said he never authorized them to do.

“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair helped make Starrcade a popular thing in wrestling and it’s why he’ll be front and center at WWE‘s upcoming live event with the same name.

WWE.com says they’ve now confirmed Flair will be part of the show and the report notes that he won his second of sixteen World Championships at the very first Starrcade.

Ric’s daughter Charlotte Flair is scheduled to wrestle Natalya in a cage match for the SmackDownWomen’s Championship, so it seems safe to assume he’ll accompany her to the ring.
