Hogan and Flair both BANKED on wrestling....

Hogan's barely got any cash left due to his kids (son has been in trouble and hes tried to make his daughter a singer) and his wife spent like mad. Now shes cleaning him out in a divorce (I have seen some of her motions and its SICK to see what kinda expenses shes claiming!)

I imagine Flair spent it all as well....

I used to get a kick out of wrestling but as I got older I tired of the soap opera (always knew it was BS) but now I am a UFC addict, just ate with Matt Hughes a couple weeks ago in Indianapolis.

During the late 70's, I stayed in a Richmond Va. hotel on sales runs. At this hotel, all of the WWF "stars" would eat together after appartently just trying to kill one another a few hours prior. Needless to say, none of the performers personallities were as portrayed. Flair would always visit the Children's Hospital and the Vets hospital when the tour would bring him to town and was adiment that the press was not informed about these visits. He and his watch out of the ring was and is a class act.

Living in the same area as Flair (Fliehr) I have seen and spoken with him many times over the years. He does walk the walk and talk the talk but when not in character he has a buzz cut, brown hair, 5-9, and weighs about 185. You probaly wouldn't give him a second look. Seems nice enough person though.

His biography lists him as 6 foot and 230 pounds and states when he wrestled he "claimed" he was 6'1" and 242 pounds. That's a BIG difference between 5'9" and 185!!! Maybe you're bigger than you think!!

Nah. I think closer to b-square. I used to work out at his gym in Pineville (charlotte) a few years ago...was golds now peak fitness. I would guess 5`10 200 lbs. Thats my weight and felt like he was about the same size. Years ago when he was on the juice he was bigger like the rest of them. Stop the juice and shrink. lol

First time I met Flair, and please don't think I know the guy because I don't, was in early 80's. I was at a co workers house and a guy named "Black Jack Mulligan" lived across the street. He was a local tv wrestler. He and Flair were lifting weights in Mulligans garage. Little did we know then what Flair would become And really, he is not a huge guy, especially when not working out.

Hey, isn't Ric Flair's son a TRF member? I remember him posting a picture of his dad and his Daydate once.

I used to go to one of his gyms in the late 90's, and met him a couple of times.

Nothing positive to say about the experience.
