I had successfully managed to remove this from my brain in a painful procedure that was not unlike that in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, but here we are. Ric Flair was buried in the Las Vegas desert. The Filthy Animals were the perpetrators, as they kidnapped the Alimony Pony and drove him off to the middle of nowhere, eventually showing footage of the burial.

Flair came back several months later, with no explanation of how he had escaped this perilous situation. One can only assume it was a Steven Toast-esque close shave with Fracking.

The Nature Boy of course questioned the creative team on this, asking just how to explain to the audience that he had avoided an early death six feet below the Las Vegas sands. The writers’ response? ‘We’re not going to worry about that’.
