10 Wrestling Facts We Didn’t Know Last Week (April 26)

4. Ric Flair's $5,000 Tab

It's hardly wrestling's biggest secret that 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair was a party animal in his prime. Flair himself admitted during his ESPN special a few years ago that his booze-fuelled nights on the road were more than a little excessive. It wasn't uncommon for Ric to run up quite the tab at hotel bars or in the clubs.

On the 'WINCLY' podcast, Nasty Boys member Brian Knobbs told how he, partner Jerry Sags, Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon once went out drinking with Flair. At some point in the evening, Ric left the bar, but he left his credit card laying around and told the boys to get themselves some drinks. That was his first mistake.

They racked up $5,000 worth of damage. Literally.

The group had broken tables, some glasses and consumed ridiculous amounts of alcohol. When he returned, Ric had to pick up the tab. Remarkably, at least according to Knobbs, he wasn't upset about it and actually joked that he couldn't leave those guys anywhere.
