Wrestling icon Ric Flair has returned to Twitter, continuing his streak of provocative posts. At 76 years old, Flair recently sparked controversy with a tweet boasting about spending more money on spilled liquor in a year than most people watch TV in a lifetime, while also dismissing his critics harshly. He wrote, “I’m trying to be kind to everyone. I know God has spent more money on liquor spilled in a year than I have in my life. This is the last message for everyone. I have more money than I have time. I need comments. I’m famous.” Flair insisted that no responses were needed, stating he only respects people who match his level of fame and wealth, and claimed he earns $3 million annually at his age.
This outburst followed a week of backlash after Flair targeted Jim Ross on social media, accusing him of seeking attention amid criticism of Flair’s now-infamous “Woooo compromise” tweet, which many fans found embarrassing. Dutch Mantel criticized Flair, calling his intelligence “below average,” and labeled him “The Ultimate Narcissist.” While AEW commentators recover from cancer treatment, they also sided with Jim Ross in the feud.
Despite the criticism, Flair remains defiant, expressing his anger openly, flipping off detractors, and telling them to deal with it. Whether his recent actions are a form of self-expression or self-destruction, one thing is clear: Ric Flair is far from silent.
Fan Take: Ric Flair’s fiery social media presence keeps the wrestling world buzzing, reminding fans of his larger-than-life persona. While controversial, his outspoken nature continues to influence WWE’s storytelling and fan engagement, proving that even legends can stir the pot and fuel the sport’s drama.
