"To be the man, you gotta beat the man."
Flair's wife, his No. 4 by the way, is officially the man, I guess, after assaulting "The Nature Boy" on Sunday night.
While it's good to see Flair wasn't seriously hurt, this entire incident is unfortunate.
I would like to see an angle out of it in TNA Wrestling, but don't count on it.
As a heel in his pairing with TNA World Champion AJ Styles, an angle would cripple Flair's character.
Expect a few fans to have fun with it.
Oh, and for the record, with Flair being on wife No. 4, he is 1/4 of the way there to tying his number for his 16 (recognized) world championships.
Here's the full story from The Associated Press:
Wife charged with assaulting wrestler Ric Flair
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Police say the wife of pro wrestler Ric Flair has been charged with assaulting him in their North Carolina home.
In a statement, Flair called the incident an unfortunate disagreement and said he did nothing wrong.
Authorities say officers were called to Flair's home in south Charlotte on Sunday night. Flair said his wife attacked him after they went out for dinner. He had minor injuries, but refused treatment from paramedics.
Police charged 41-year-old Jacqueline Beems with simple assault. She was released from jail a few hours after her arrest.
The 60-year old platinum blond grappler nicknamed "The Nature Boy" is currently wrestling for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling after a long career with World Wrestling Entertainment.
