RE: Ric Flair is broke and is selling his likeness to anyone that will pay for it

in Sports Talk Social2 years ago

Wow. I would never have guessed this. It's quite disheartening to see these stars who graced our tvs and gave us good entertainment having to resort to scraps in order to survive.

I remember watching the Figo Affair and seeing Futre telling Figo that it's all about the money because when you retire, no one cares about you anymore and this is very true.

But sadly many of these athletes still won't learn to be judicious with the money they earn at their peaks. I hope he eventually sees a way out.

Naitch is running out of time. It's pretty sad. The industry still cares about him but he burned a lot of bridges in his prime. I guess that is why he is the doing things like selling weed now.

When you say he burned a lot of bridges, what do you mean??

He ticked off a lot of people when he was bouncing back and forth from WWF to WCW and even doing things like stealing the championship belt and taking it to WWF and refusing to give it back. Later he would bounce back to WCW during the Monday night wars and this pissed off Vince. When WCW went under Ric had to take a huge pay cut to get hired again by then WWE despite being a huge name in the biz.
