The incident that led to Ric Flair being kicked out of a Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza in Gainesville, Florida has been released. TMZ ran the footage that shows Flair arguing with the venue’s manager and inviting him to go outside. Watch the full video below or via TMZ.com.
Powell’s POV: I speculated yesterday that the footage might be released online and here we are. Flair indicated in a social media post that the incident occurred because he was upset with the kitchen manager for taking too long in the bathroom. To be honest, I actually expected the footage to be even more embarrassing for Flair than it turned out to be.
I wonder if the guy’s a Flair fan.
Very sad to see, again. NO excuse for drinking too much (that’s a CHOICE), but its sad the guy can’t let his being “The Man” go. Saw him in his heyday, and he was the best. Now, he’s just incapable of understanding those days are gone. He needs a lot of help, but sadly, is too stubborn to accept it.
Alcoholism is a recognized disease, but for once I actually agree with everything else you wrote.
