12 Things We Learned From Ric Flair On Stone Cold's WWE Network Podcast

3. He Once Owed Vince McMahon $800,000

Ric speaks of Vince McMahon in a highly respectful manner, commending him for always being a man of his word, and a fair (if tough) boss. He also explains how grateful he is for Vince's help during his financial struggles, including one incident (following a messy divorce) where the WWE owner loaned him a staggering $800,000. Flair promised to pay Vince back every dime, and stuck to his word - although he was helped out a little by his monster cheque for WrestleMania 24. Ric keeps the exact amount a secret, but does reveal that it was his biggest ever payday.
