Remember the brilliant blog Paul Heyman posted in The UK Sun(http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/wrestling/heyman/article1596414.ece) about how 16 time World Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair leaving WWE was a mistake because Flair should be on the big stage and not in some rinky-dink places doing appearances?
  • B/R Ticket Guide
Well, check out this press release sent out by the NWA about an autograph appearance Flair is doing soon in Philadelphia:

The National Wrestling Alliance®, Harding Road Entertainment and HK Entertainment and Big Vision Entertainment presents the 10 Times NWA™ Worlds Heavyweight Champion “Nature Boy” Ric Flair at Chickie’s & Pete’s 1526 Packer Ave. in South Philly on Friday November 28. 2008 from 2:00 – 5:00 PM. Limited tickets for this autograph event are on sale now at all Chickie’s & Pete’s locations.
Chickie & Pete's? This is what Flair is reduced to? As the man many fans call "the greatest in-ring performer of all-time" continues to charge those very fans for his autograph and the privilege of taking a picture with him, his post-WWE career seems sadder and sadder by the day.

  1. LOL how much are tickets?, I actually might go to this. I live 5 blocks from there.
    In all seriousness. I appreciate Ric as a wrestler.
    His peronal life should be it's own ABC daytime soap though.
    I like to give people benefit of the doubt, but after 3 divorces. I'm starting to believe what his latest ex-wife Tifanny had to say recently on a radio program. She said she's glad to be away from all his drama, and that Ric loves to live in negativity and loves drama in his life.
    I actually think she's on the money on that statement.

    1. It's all very sad.

  2. I can't imagine this restaurant handing out $25,000 to Ric Flair to make an appearance.

    1. Well, someone's picking up the tab!

  3. It was time for Flair to go his last match with michaels was one of the matches of the year, Flair was certainly one of the all time greats of the proffesion and always will be just watch the hall of fame 2008 see how much respect he gets from everyone.
