Ric Flair Goes On Wild Social Media Rant

Ric Flair's latest outburst comes in the wake of backlash over a now-deleted tweet in which Flair referred to fellow wrestling icon Jim Ross, who is currently battling colon cancer, as an "attention seeker." The comment was met with widespread condemnation, prompting Flair to backpedal and claim that "everyone takes things too seriously."

Adding fuel to the fire, wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell criticized Flair on his podcast, urging him to "shut up" while throwing insults. In response, Flair posted a message addressing Mantell in a passive-aggressive way, insinuating Dutch was ill :

Dutch, everyone is always going to think of you as a veteran that’s not allowed to have an opinion. But I sympathize with your health issues, and hope you recover & return to top health. You have always been a good guy. The anger you pour out at everybody is clearly coming from the pain you feel. Please stay strong!

Ric Flair Throws A Hissy Fit On Social Media

That wasn't enough for The Nature Boy. The 76-year-old WWE Hall Of Famer took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to lash out at his detractors:

Some things never change. Instead of offering any sort of apology, or acknowledging what he said, he doubled down with a rant talking about his wealth while addressing his supposed "haters."

Stevie Richards offered his two cents as well, calling Flair a narcissist:

You can’t feel sorry for someone who shows no empathy. Ric Flair has no compassion. He’s a narcissist—he always has been. He thrives on attention, even if it’s negative, just to keep his name out there.

It's a shame that even in his old age, Flair continues to stir the pot, especially at the expense of a sick Jim Ross. It seems as though Stevie Richards has a point, with these old legends (see Hogan, Hulk) trying to stay relevant, through any means necessary.
