Before common sense prevailed, RicFlairShop.com attempted to flog a $50 ""WOOOOO Compromise" contract signed by The Man himself - a contract binding two people to "ride Space Mountain and engage in sexual relations on this night". It wouldn't be the first time Ric Flair prostituted himself. Just look at his TNA run.

In 2018. In an era of increased consent awareness. Obviously, this was removed immediately - and what's even crazier is that whomever conceived of it knew it was a complete non-starter, as indicated by the wording:

"No party shall be pressured or persuaded into something that they do not want to do, and they reserve the right to terminate the contract if need be. This contract has the signed and sealed approval of The Nature Boy Ric Flair, who has taken many women for a ride on Space Mountain, and has the utmost respect for women."

Why preempt the backlash in the first place? Why not not attempt to monetise a scandal that has caused so much physical and psychological harm to so many victims? This was Flair's marketing team at work, not the man himself - but still, it's hard to imagine anything more gross to make a quick buck from. Perhaps Flair's murky team will next ask us to check our pulse with an original, official, Ric Flair heart monitor.

Don't flop!
