Flails looked about 80 for he last 30 years. I'll tune in if he gets his flabby Tits out and does that silly tangle up in the corner and gives a couple of woo's over the mic

Ric Flair and I got into a fight in the parking lot of a Stop n' Go Mini Market, in Winston-Salem, NC. in 1981. Absolutely true story. I did not win.
-
at least you didnt shoot at eachother which seems to be the trend these days
-
:) No shooting. And 15 years later we became good friends. Flair is the coolest.

You should document your your fight and friendship with Flair on the wrestling board. Would be cool to hear the details.

Tommy details please.

All right here we go...
It's summer of 1980 (yes nineteen-eighty) and I am still living in my "hometown" of Winston-Salem, NC. It's a Saturday night and earlier in the evening at the Winston-Salem Memorial Coliseum Ric Flair has battled Chief Wahoo McDaniels for the MACW belt. Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling. Back then Flair was ALWAYS a heal aka a bad guy and Chief Wahoo McDaniels was always a babyface aka a good guy. We did not attend the matches.
We were however at a bar very close to the venue, The Safari Room. Also, remember that in 1980 you could drink alcohol when you were 18 years old in North Carolina. Me and my EIGHT friends were all either 18 or 19 years old.
Around 11:00-11:30pm we had all left the Safari Room and walked across the street to a Stop n' Go convenience store. A White Cadillac limo pulled into the parking lot. We were all walking across the parking lot, heading back towards the Safari Room...
...The limo driver opened the passenger door and Ric Flair got out. It was Ric and two girls, I believe. Flair and the limo driver were putting drinks into a cooler I seem to remember- so it was the driver, Ric Flair and two girls standing close together filling their cooler. We started yelling obscenities at Flair almost at once. He was a "bad guy" and nobody ever liked the bag guy way back then. There was NINE of us. Me and eight friends. All former High School wrestlers and/or football players and now home from college for summer.
Well for about five minutes we insulted Flair. He just smiled, gave us the finger but didn't seemed too concerned. Suddenly someone in my group said something about the girls Flair was with. I looked up and Flair was in a full sprint charging across the parking lot at all NINE of us. Remember in 1980 Flair was probably 28-30 years old and a legit bad ass. Here we go!
For some reason I was a few steps closer to Flair then my friends. I was not any tougher, I was just a little bit closer. I think I assumed a wrestling stance and was waiting for Flair to close the distance. Hell, ..."Three of us could shoot low, three could shoot high and three guys could stay close for back up, right? What could go wrong. There's NINE of us. Well...
...When Flair was about 15 feet away, I looked to my left... nobody was there. I looked to my right... nobody was there. All EIGHT of my friends were running away! They were all in full sprint running away! I was the only one there. I heard my friend Steve Peterson yell, "Run Tom run!!!" I turned to run... too late. Flair was on me.

hey hench scott steiner said in a interview that rick rude hated flair and used to tell him all the time he looked like shit, of course flair couldnt do anything because rude was one of the toughest guys out there at the time.
-
Interesting, in the early 80's he looked pretty decent. The pics I posted were 1972.

hench that is probably the best shape ive seen ric in, in that pic
he once said he wished he had been in better shape , during that era, he said he would have made more money, because the big buff dudes got over easier.
he also waid he was making 300 k a year when in the n.w.a circa mid 80's that was big money then.flair always made decent money but he blew it all on whores and coke
-
Yea I think this is the best he looked. He still has a decent bicep when flexed.
Your right, seems he has trouble holding onto his cash.
What is amazing is the plane crash he was in, I think 1979 he was given a bad prognosis yet he reached his highest fame after that.

hench i was a huge wrestling fan back then. flair was great on the mic but the booking then was super fucked up.
dusty rhodes did alot of goofy booking, they never made flair win clean most of the time and the horse men always interferred, people forget the n.w.a fell pretty fast after
the war games of 87. of course having magnum ta getting crippled didnt help. i liked flair, but when i read about allt he people he has fucked over, money wise over the years
really soured me on him now.
-
I didn't know he's fucked people over money wise, has he made amends?
He was always good on the mic, one of the best I've seen, a natural!

This was pretty much the Ric Flair that came across the parking lot. He was big and in shape.

So Flair had the "Groink" attitude about paying people back their money

OK, lets end this fight.
Flair was on me! He grabbed my shirt collar with one hand and started throwing overhand rights. Now kids, all I wanted to do was disengage. All I wanted to do was get away. All I wanted to do was break free and run! I did the duck and spin and twist move. Flair's punches were grazing my head and shoulder. Luckily he never connected solidly. As soon as I broke his grip off my shirt... I turned and ran as fast as I could, I ran in the direction my friends had run. They had all stopped running and were watching me and Ric Flair scrap. I ran across the parking lot in world record time.
When I caught my friends we all turned around and looked at Flair. He was not chasing. Flair and his limo driver and the girls were ALL laughing so hard! All by himself Ric Flair chased off NINE guys.
On a positive note- for years, I was known as the "crazy fucker who fought Ric Flair." LOL!
In 1993 I met Ric Flair while working at Golds Venice. Ric was a Gold's franchise owner and we became friends. I told Ric the story one day. He smiled and laughed as I told the tale and then he said... "Tom, I believe every single word you are saying but I really do not remember that incident... remember Tom, way back then I was always a bad guy- and everyone hated me. I was fighting all the time... Waffle House, Pizza Hut, Red Lobster. I couldn't go out in public without someone yelling at me and starting a fight."
There ya go. Rick Flair vs Tommywishbone for the title. Flair retained the title. The end.

So Flair had the "Groink" attitude about paying people back their money
But Groink didn't know the Figure Four.

You should have whipped him into the corner and he would have got stuck upside down ;D
