Ric Flair became a viral topic of discussion this past week. The former WWE champion was in a heated argument at a bar. One of the employees grilled him for taking too long in the bathroom. Not too long after the fight, Flair encouraged his followers to never visit the establishment.Â
“I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place!” he said in a social media post.Â

Ric Flair Apologizes For Bar Argument
But the WWE star has had a change of heart. In an updated statement, Flair apologized for his role in the incident and admitted that he was in the wrong.
“It just escalated and I was wrong for getting mad, but I kind of felt like I was defending my position,” Flair said.
“I probably just should have just walked out the door, but it caught me so off-guard because we were having a wonderful time. Then all of a sudden .. someone in their kitchen said I did something wrong in the bathroom and there’s no one there except me and him.”
‘Nature Boy’ Gets Candid on Triple H
Ric Flair had long been a mentor and friend to WWE superstar Triple H. But things went sour when Triple H was named Chief Content Officer at WWE. He used Flair’s noted nickname “The Man,” and pinned it on Becky Lynch who was a rising WWE superstar at the time. But on a recent episode of his podcast, Flair revealed the two of them recently had a heart-to-heart.
“He mentioned he wanted to talk to me and we talked. And we just got real serious. I mean we both went through the same thing. I didn’t realize to what extent he’s gone through, I do now,” Flair said.
“I’m not gonna share obviously but he was in a bad place just like I was. When you get there you’ll realize, as only you can do if you’ve been there. That there’s so much more to it.
And it’s time to just look each other in the eye and talk about the issues and put them behind you and hope that we get to see each other tomorrow. He was like me. And it took him a long time to get over it.”
