Ric Flair, the world’s heavyweight champion. I don’t have to say a lot more about the way I feel about Ric Flair. No respect. No honor! There is no honor among thieves in the first place! He put...hard times on Dusty Rhodes and his family! You don’t know what hard times are, daddy! Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work! They got four or five kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food!
