To the people that keep saying did he steal or or they stole it? 1. You need to watch the full episode for the full contents of everything to actually understand what happened. 2. It wasn’t stolen it was left on the airplane and was put in lost and found for 90 days and no one claimed it therefore the airplane guy who found it was able to keep it after 90 days. 3. The guy who had it all these years decided to sell it on eBay recently for 10,000 because someone in his family passed away and he needed the money to pay for a funeral (as Triple H put it he sold it for much less than it’s actually worth) 4. The guy who bought it from the guy who owned it originally on eBay basically didn’t want to show his face for the “publicity” and so he had a stand in negotiate for him however he continuously broke the agreement that they originally had for the deal trying to maximize the value of it as much as possible because they knew Ric Flair and WWE wanted it.

This was always the "Titan Robe" or "WWF Robe" to me & my wrestling dork friends in the 90's. It was the robe he seemed to wear most on TV and to me the black & silver look made it the most badass. WWE could've cut the owner/recipient of stolen property a check for $100 grand without batting an eye but they figure "it's in the family" now. Conrad buys it "for Ric", then later on when Flair passes (hope it's 30 years from now) WWE can put the squeeze on Thompson, "Donate it to the Flair wing of the HOF building", etc. If Conrad balks they either offer him huge dough or more likely send their lawyers after him with some convoluted excuse it's there's anyway.

Olivia walker work deserves credit and that butterfly robe is a masterpiece and that robe debuted at clash of champions 6 when ric flair challenges Ricky the dragon steamboat for the nwa world heavyweight championship in a best 2 out of 3 falls match.

[@michaeldavila4055]

The fact that the seller kept driving a hard bargain was so frustrating. But at least they got it! 🙌

[@jd-iv1lm]

Obviously not a true flair fan just driven by profit and greed

[@mustang268]

It was staged lol

[@starkiller9897]

WOOOOOOOOO!! When i seen Rick in that robe at WWF i was so wrapped as a huge Rick Flair fan!! What an icomic momment in wrestling history!! 😎👍

[@TheSSUltimateGoku]

5:20 this was not Ric Flair‘s debut in WWE he had been already wrestling months prior.

[@oli3437]

Yep. Just more orchestrated WWE propaganda. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole series is completely scripted just like their crappy shows, not to mention all the wrestling (sorry “Sports Entertainment”) revisionist biographys they put out on DVD/Blu Ray or on their crappy network

When men were men.... I was a kid watching this. These guys are my hero's!! Keep this channel up please. God Bless.

[@keithc728]

I thought that the original butterfly robe was stolen from a hotel that he stayed at? It should rightfully go back to Ric.

1992 was my introduction to WWE, Summer Slam, that year alone means a lot, those memories always lift me up.

First of all the robe was stolen. So technically speaking whoever had it is in possession of stolen property which is against the law that's receiving stolen property which is a felony

[@nathanpickering7312]

If it was lost and found and not claimed after certain time it's fair game

god, I miss the "old school" wrestlers. Hulk Hogan, Andre, suppafly, Flair, Warrior, Hacksaw, Piper, Slaughter, Jake... the list goes on & on. There are so epic many wrestlers that paved the way for what we see now. Great guys & hard workers. Wooooo!! The good ol days

[@oliviagriffinmusic]

bro I did not know Ric was in Richmond Virginia that day. I could’ve seen him, I’m only 10 min away from Richmond 😂😂

[@joebaby555]

Flair could say he wants to meet the seller and then hit him with a figure four leg lock and get the Robe back for free as the guy screams and submits to give it back to the Nature Boy!! WOOOO! Let me produce these segments and I’ll show you what the fans want to see!! 🤣😂🙏❤️
