While addressing his haters on social media, Ric Flair revealed how much money he’s making at the age of 76. Here’s what the 2-time WWE Hall of Famer tweeted:
“I Try To Be Nice To Everybody. God Only Knows That I’ve Spent More Money On Spilt Liquor In One Year Than People Have In A Lifetime. I Tried Being Nice, And This Is My Last Message To Everyone. I’ve Got More Money Than I’ve Got Time. Go F Yourself Haters. No Comment Needed. Live With It! Actually Learn To Love It! Get Back To Me Again When You Make 3 Million Dollars A Year At The Age Of 76. That’s What FAMOUS Gets. And By The Way, I Don’t Recognize Anyone In This Conversation Who Is Famous.”
Dutch Mantell Calls Ric Flair A “D*ck” For Comments About Jim Ross, Flair Responds
Dutch Mantell (Uncle Zebekiah in WWF and Zeb Colter in WWE) has harshly criticized Ric Flair for his recent online conduct. On a new episode of his podcast Story Time With Dutch Mantell, the longtime manager expressed frustration over Flair’s since-deleted tweet mocking Jim Ross, who had posted an update about his cancer recovery.
“Why would he say that? Because he’s a d*ck. No kidding,” Mantell said bluntly. “What difference does it make to Ric Flair? The man’s sick, and he was just telling people what’s going on with him… He needs to shut up. He really does.”
Flair had accused Ross of “attention seeking” in the now-deleted tweet, a comment that caught widespread backlash. Co-host James Romero pointed out that Flair later claimed he was only joking, but Mantell wasn’t buying it.
Ric Flair’s Intelligence Questioned by Dutch Mantell
As the conversation turned more personal, Mantell took shots at Ric Flair’s intelligence, raising eyebrows with a direct insult:
“What do you think Ric Flair’s IQ actually is? I would say between 80 and 90. He’s not the smartest student in the classroom. You won’t sit down and have any kind of physics discussion with Ric Flair.”
Later on, Mantell lowered that estimate even further: “I’d put it in the 70s.”
Ric Flair’s Past Resurfaces: Old Stories and New Controversies
Mantell didn’t stop there. He recalled a story Jim Ross once shared, about Flair allegedly exposing himself at a party hosted by promoter Gary Juster’s wife.
“That kind of behavior is really unforgivable and embarrassing,” Mantell said.
The podcast also covered another now-deleted post from Flair—this time a bizarre fake contract titled “The Wooooo Compromise,” which jokingly detailed exaggerated terms for $exual encounters. It referenced Flair’s old catchphrase “riding Space Mountain” and claimed he held the “utmost respect for women.”
Mantell was unimpressed. “He’s nuts,” he said. “I bet he did have some signatures on that thing… they went ahead with the joke.”
Romero noted that the post was especially tone-deaf given past allegations against Flair, including those revisited in Dark Side of the Ring’s “Plane Ride from Hell” episode. Mantell agreed: “He does himself no favors.”
Ric Flair Responds to Dutch Mantell With a Surprising Tweet
In response to Mantell’s remarks, Ric Flair tweeted:
“Dutch, Everyone Is Always Going To Think Of You As A Veteran That’s Not Allowed To Have An Opinion. But I Sympathize With Your Health Issues, And Hope You Recover & Return To Top Health. You Have Always Been A Good Guy. The Anger You Pour Out At Everybody Is Clearly Coming From The Pain You Feel. Please Stay Strong!”
Despite the controversy, Flair’s response struck a more sympathetic tone—though it didn’t address the accusations directly. As the wrestling world watches the legendary Ric Flair continue to draw attention for all the wrong reasons, his public persona may be taking more hits than ever before.
