WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently announced on his Twitter (X) account that he has become aware of individuals selling his old robes without any proof of ownership. Flair has threatened to take legal action against those selling the robes without proper documentation or receipts. He also stated that his lawyer will begin seeking legal documentation starting today.
Flair wrote, “It was a phenomenal weekend in Philadelphia, and thank you very much to @DynastySportsPA and Steve Solomon. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that my robes are being sold by people who don’t own them or have a receipt from me. If they do, they are more than welcome to. If they don’t, just like Tiffany VanDemark, who stole five of them, as of tomorrow, my attorney will seek legal documentation and if you don’t have it, you will be expecting a letter from my attorney in Boston. I can’t imagine why anybody would steal anything that I worked so hard for. Not cool and I’m coming for you. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as I get older, I understand the importance of having some of my memorabilia. @bigeventny”
Several people have commented on the situation. One commenter suggested that he should avoid “going O.J.” while attempting to retrieve his belongings. This reference refers to O.J. Simpson’s conviction for robbery in a 2007 case in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he tried to reclaim items that he claimed had been stolen from him. Simpson served nine years in prison before being paroled.
Flair responded, “After reading your comments, I am very humored. So I have a new saying, my robes are worth more than your house! Rather than my shoes, it’s now my robes. And FYI- it’s a felony and that shouldn’t be taken lightly. And also, I am a long ways away from OJ. I haven’t even started drinking yet, so get ready for the next couple hours. I’ve been fighting with American Airlines just trying to get back to Tampa. On the way to the bar as I post this! You know where to find me, come join me, and if you have one of my robes bring it with you! I will buy all of your drinks. WOOOOO!”
