WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is widely recognized as the greatest professional wrestler of all time. He is a 16-time world champion – a feat that only he and fellow WWE legend John Cena have accomplished.
Most people know Flair for getting his hands dirty in the ring. But the former WWE champ was recently involved in a “bar fight.” And it was all caught on video.

Ric Flair Gets in Heated Bar Argument
“The 3-minute long video shows an agitated Nature Boy arguing with a Piesanos restaurant manager in Gainesville, FL before another patron steps in and threatens Flair with physical violence,” TMZ wrote.
“Come outside here and talk to me like a man,” Ric told the manager he was jawing with, before another man interrupted, standing up, looking at Flair, and ominously saying, “Hey, you wanna go have a talk with me in the parking lot? Cause I’ll work you. I don’t give a s**t.”
WWE Star Sounds Off on Social Media
Flair later took to social media to explain how the entire debacle began. According to him, a restaurant employee grilled him for taking too long in the bathroom. He also encouraged his followers to not patronize the establishment.
“I Spent $1500 At [Piesano’s] To Be Disrespected More Than I Ever Have In My Entire Life. After Taking 20 Pictures With Customers And Staff, I Was Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom,” Flair said in the post.
“I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place! WOOOOO!”
NBA Star Dwight Howard Interested in WWE Career
NBA center Dwight Howard remains a free agent and has proven to be a serviceable veteran on a championship roster. He did so during his second stint with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 when they won the title inside of the Disney Bubble.
But despite not being signed, Howard has remained busy in his spare time. He attended a WWE tryout in Nashville, Tennessee in 2022. During an Instagram live session, he talked about potentially fighting the Rock.
“That would be crazy, I was in the ring & both of us looking at each other. You know how The Rock is doing… I think I got that part down,” Howard said via Landon Buford.
