[@damonpolk4394]

By that time, WCW was beginning to unravel

[@IMaPeecock]

no wcw started to unravel when they didn't chain Bisschoff to someone like Sting or Hart to counterbalance his irratic behaviour and his inabilty on other fronts. Bisshoff did good things, but there wasnt anything preventing him from also doing all that crazy shit

[@IdealX-fr4eg]

You breached contract and your name Isn't hall, nash, or hogan so I'm suing you

[@JasonSeville]

He just point out Ted turners legal team did so I don’t think they care or really know the wrestlers.

[@msoileau83]

When did they breach their contract?

[@koDaffi]

They had guarantees so they could just sit at home and collect a check. Wasn't the same. Flair was old southern wrassler from before the change.

[@michaelvaughn8864]

Ric should've taken that up with Turner Legal headed by Nick Lambrose at the time and not make it personal with Eric Bischoff

[@JeffTullock-yx1hd]

Could have faked an injury and been hurt like nash always was.

[@brianthomas3451]

Flair is no stranger to bankruptcy

[@michaelvaughn8864]

No, he isn't, Mr. Thomas. Not with 4 ex-wives he's paying monthly alimony to under his belt😑💯

[@thecardbunker801]

Ric is rich. Been rich. Die rich.

[@MrTorreyL]

If you don't show up to your job, no call, no show what do you think is going to happen to you?

[@Popeoverhuge]

Write up lol

[@brianthomas3451]

No promoter had any issue letting flair go. Crockett, herd, Anderson, McMahon, Dixie Carter and Tony Kahn.

[@PhilMiCoochie]

Crockett was never faced with that challenge. Also Khan and Carter got Ric when he was 60+ years old so he wasn’t really drawing them any money.

[@Blarg6306]

I don't like EB, but he's right. If I pull that crap at work and just show up whenever I want to then I eventually don't have a job anymore. Flair isn't special.

[@kal0247]

Yes,Ric Flair is special

[@BigOrangeGrizz]

"I am" turned into "we are" in the same breath

[@PSonak]

Suing Flair into bankruptcy wouldn't take much., sue him for a 5 dollar hot and ready and a Mt. Dew and you're there.

[@thestarisalie]

EB never takes credit for the bad things. He acts like he created this great opponent to the WWE. All eric did was give bad contracts with lots of money. Thats it.

[@williamk2257]

Yeah but then you go in front of the guys saying you’re going after him and his family and everything he’s got. Not cool from hearing Flair tell it saying you’re going after his family like that you might get your ass kicked tough guy. After he supposedly told you’ll what was going on that he was going to his boys wrestling event.

[@Zapwhampow66]

Remember there are always 3 sides to every story. And how could they go after his family fool ? They was not under contract

[@IAMMarkStrange]

​@@Zapwhampow66 can't feed his family if their bankrupt, perhaps even have to the house situation, that definitely would effect family. At least that is what the threat implied.

[@Zapwhampow66]

@@IAMMarkStrange no the thread implied that he was going after the family direct not well I’m going after you so this will effect ur family. Facts are he signed a contract and didn’t live up to his end of it.

[@bryanbarnes8997]

Is this why certain stars endorse certain politicians?

[@stevewarren4813]

I still assume that Flair requested the time off and "HR" was just so incompetent that all this happened.

[@metalcoffie]

Wasn't he an independent contractor? Like all pro wrestlers. (The essence of being in business for yourself puts you in control. Not your clients. If a client tries to control your business by telling you where, when, and how to work you become an employee. Never let that happen to you.)

[@PunishersAngel]

He’s the main villain in his own origin story..

[@gregentclemory9285]

Does anybody know the show or shows that Flair missed? Back in 97 in Tallahassee, we had heard in the ads that he'd be at the event, but he didn't show. It was the show Raven got yanked out of ring by a rabid fan.

[@zachariahmorris833]

Flair and his ilk are the reason WCW died the first time. Easy E brought it back from the dead

[@justinp5661]

Yea and every wcw star was breaching daily. But I guess they were one of the boys

[@PsychoticFruitfly]

proof? if you're going to accuse EVERY WCW TALENT of breach of contract on a DAILY BASIS (your own words, btw) , you must have some sort of evidence to back this up... let's see it.

[@christianbaker3564]

"Then i continued to run wcw into the ground and still expected to be paid"

[@fhartmart]

My question is why did he have to make an example out of Ric in front of the boys? Like you think the boys didn't know that!?

[@LeeRoss-bw3yd]

Because everyone who laced up a pair of boots has a lot of respect for him 4 🐴 for life

[@Andrew.Grabowski]

He said it: Turner Legal made the decision, Not Eric directly. He’s just the one telling the talent about it. So continue saying he’s an A-hole, but it wasn’t his decision.

[@Kratos-eg7ez]

He sure is acting like a stuck up ashole about it, even if he wasn't the one to make the decision. Just listen to him, you can tell he's on a power trip, "we're going to sue him into bankruptcy!" Yeah, talking about taking literally everything from a man because he didn't do a show, n he seems proud of it. Definitely a slimy roach.

[@gaminglikeaproallthetime4563]

Think a bot is below me 😮

[@Juju_The_Dude]

Least they've got a nice ass 🤷

[@Juju_The_Dude]

These bots invading EVERY comment section is getting ridiculous...

[@Allen7]

Where? I didnt saw a single bot comment

[@Juju_The_Dude]

@@Allen7 They've since been deleted

[@awolfinthemist2497]

Bischoff still being relevant now is ridiculous

[@SouthernWolf81]

And how many times do we know for a fact that Hall, Nash, Hogan, Savage, and Piper repeatedly breach their contract... I rest my case.

[@doublez_]

Biggest carny in the wrestling business

[@nicopillay4059]

Nash, Hall, Hogan, and Goldberg weren't even doing house shows at that time

[@JeffTullock-yx1hd]

Saw Flair vs Jericho on a house show. Flair lost and bled for a house show. It was St. Louis though.

[@antonettelamberty5650]

But everyone else had guaranteed contracts and could no-show whenever they didn’t feel like working. And that’s one of a hundred reasons WCW failed

[@natureboyronflair5330]

Bishoff the magot

[@Rudepunzle]

With a f

[@theuglyfisherman9531]

the man that killed WCW, Eric Bischoff

[@renwickpage5956]

Ric went on for years & years...... How bout WCW?

[@MrPilgrim]

Lesnar vs Logan Paul

[@JeffTullock-yx1hd]

Flair screws up a lot now. He was 100% right doing what he did. They fired fk’n Ric Flair. I quit watching until he came back. Fired over something that little? Flair is the best ever and sold tickets. Like telling Tom Brady no thanks were good.

[@HaakonAnderson]

Wooooo

[@johnathan7258]

This doesn't apply to you Terry I'll meet you outside on the bike

[@geraldlenczewski6809]

You notice he blames Turner, but yet he keeps saying he’s going to. This guys Ego killed WCW. That and the NWO. Flair was the biggest star he had. And he ruined that relationship.

[@jeffreyivery4299]

U know Ric Flair never got the $25.000.00 Thousand Dollars Back When he put that MONEY up for the NWA title so he left WCW

[@Thewhiteclawoutlaw]

Something wrong with these people and even worse with the grown men who still care or follow any of this crap

[@coltino99]

You know what Ric flairs problem is? He think he’s ric flair. He brings his gimmick beyond the ring and public appearances. Does it in private too much.

[@ryula4215]

Bs

[@bushcraftguru682]

We're not talking about a bunch of jobbers like Hall, Nash, Jericho, or anyone else. We're talking about THE God of wrestling!! You can't hold Ric Flair to the standard of mediocrity as all these other jabronis.

[@msoileau83]

Flair's a pos anyway.

[@stevenandrews5050]

Finally someone said it.

[@danielh5583]

Haven’t met all wrestlers of course but he is the only one I’ve met who was an absolute cunt

[@roanblack2]

Great company 🙄

[@angelmontes8602]

You know he's lying because his lips are moving

[@johnm8209]

So Eric was in charge when he wanted to be. But now everyone else told him to do it not him 😂

[@coastwardwolf]

I’ve never liked Bishoff!

[@alanwakeish]

He's like Hulk Hogan. You can always tell when he's lying, it's when he opens his mouth and starts talking.
