Ric Flair’s former management company, Legacy Talent & Entertainment, spoke with TMZ and issued the following response to the Flair’s allegations that they ripped him off:

“Ric Flair has always been known to be dramatic and looking desperately for the spotlight. That’s fine as a wrestler but it is despicable when he blatantly lies.”

“As anyone who read [the Ric Flair Grantland article] knows, Ric has always left a trail of destruction in his wake whether it be from his ex wives, the IRS, State Departments of Revenue, creditors, or from his former business partners and friends… the debris is everywhere.”

“Our client wishes Flair nothing but the best and is sad that things have come to this after over a decade of hard work and incredible results for their client.”

As for the explanation for the finances, Legacy said the following:

“Our client provided Flair an accounting of funds as they always did throughout their representation. Flair then demanded funds that belonged to buyers be released from trust that he had not yet earned and our client would not be bullied into doing anything unethical. In reality the $37,000 in dispute are in his management company’s trust account while we were working out a settlement on the sums of money owed our client from deals and money Flair hid from his management.”

Chris Jericho recently talked about Vince McMahon while speaking to Tom Power. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Vince McMahon: “He’s a very unique character, he’s a billionaire that’s built this. Even if you don’t know Vince you know the WWE or the WWF, he’s built this entire empire, a mainstay in the fabric of pop culture in the world and will be, WWE will never go away. He’s a billionaire, he’s a genius, interesting, lots of different dichotomies within that guy. He will never write a book I don’t think, he doesn’t like talking about himself, but I do. He’s one of my favorite characters in the world, I love writing about him.”

Working relationship with McMahon: “I’ve worked with him for 17 years, he’s my boss. You don’t always love your boss. Tell me somebody that’s been working somewhere for a long time that’s had nothing but wine and roses with their boss, and I’ll tell you that you’re probably lying. He’s in charge, sometimes I have to do things I don’t want to do because he is the boss. I trust him, but even sometimes if I don’t, I have no choice. He’s the boss, either I do it or I quit.”

Vince McMahon’s work ethic: “There’s nothing that he would ask you to do that he wouldn’t do himself. We were in Orlando doing a show, I had to do press in New York early in the morning. He had me come on his private jet, we flew from Orlando to New York, had some drinks, listened to some tunes, had a great time, landed at 4:30, both drunk. He goes, ‘What are you doing?’ I was going home to pass out because I had to get up at 6:30 for press. He goes, ‘I’m going to the gym, come with me.’ I’m like, ‘I’m not going to the gym at 4:30, what’s wrong with you?’ He’s like, ‘I have to go to work.’ ‘So do I.’ And I get a text when I wake up the next morning at 6:30, super-hungover feeling like crap, from my 72-year-old boss who’s bench-pressing 275 pounds giving me the finger… That’s him, he just works, and it rubs off on you.”

Vince’s way of doing business: “Vince McMahon’s way of doing things is, there’s no prima donnas allowed. You get the job done, you go do the press that needs to be done, you do the meet-and-greets that need to be done, you do the due diligence for your character, you train, you stay in shape, and that’s part of your job. If you can’t do that, you won’t last and you won’t make it to the top… You don’t last, not anymore. Reality will strike you very quickly when you end up being the opening-match jobber to The Tulip or Funaki or whoever they bring in.”
