Hate to see my fave wrestler end up like this. Sad sad sad...putting up old championship belts as collateral on loans (trying to do the same with his daughter's engagement ring). On wife #4 right now, all of them costing more & more money. Still spending like it's going out of style ($Woooooooo!

    To anybody that's followed wrestling news from the last decade, none of this is at all new, unfortunately. Flair has been a disaster on a personal level for a long, long time. He's tried to rip off so many people it's not even funny. He's put up the same NWA title belt as collateral multiple times at once and on and on and on. What a mess.

    I prefer to ignore that stuff and just remember how much Flair entertained me in the 1980s.

    Let's just say when it rains it pours and sadly Ric Flair's financial and personal issues aren't unique in the world of professional athletes.

    If my autograph were worth $25 a pop, I wouldn't have financial trouble. He's just an idiot with a dumb manager.

    I live in Charlotte, NC, and ate dinner at the same restaurant as Flair last Tuesday. At least that evening, he seemed to keep himself together. Flair has been burning the candle from both ends for the last 25 years. He could pass away tomorrow, and nobody would be shocked locally.

    Remember these Chuck Norris Facts

    1. When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down
    2. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday
    3. There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris

    I have no sympathy for these athletes/celebrities who make the big money and waste it all and forget to save or invest poorly.

    Just plain stupidity.

    Was sadly hoping for a fresh thread instead of the birthday bot update.
