Ric Flair Detained At Airport For Being Ric Flair

He may be known as a limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin', son of a gun, but the second aspect of that moniker found itself in serious jeopardy yesterday as Ric Flair was detained at Boston's Logan International Airport. The Nature Boy made it onto the flight eventually, but what happened prior is not entirely clear.

Being the age of internet reporting things moved fast with the incident. Initial reports stated that Flair was inebriated and causing an almighty fuss and acting loud and obnoxious, leading to him being detained for disorderly conduct. Twitter journalists spoke of bleeding (presumably a blade job), of a cut on the hand and of Flair knocking his head and getting busted wide open, so to speak.

Other witnesses have come forward and reported that the incident stemmed from an individual acting in a rude manner to Flair, and then having the temerity to ask for a selfie with the Alimony Pony. This led to a shouting match and the cops having to have a chat with Ric, presumably as his jacket lay on the floor, reeling from a perfectly placed elbow drop.

WWE has confirmed that they are investigating the incident, but the likelihood is that this entire thing is a whole lot of nothing. Flair's agent issued a statement that came laced with excellent self awareness, noting that 'it is true Ric Flair and his buddies have been keeping airport bars in business since the 70s...' but denying this was the case in Boston.

Rumours of Flair taking to his knees and begging off the cops before poking one in the eye cannot be confirmed at this time.
