Update On Highspots-Ric Flair NWA Title Drama
Posted by Larry Csonka on 11.04.2009
What’s the deal?
- Highspots.com issued the following statement on the Ric Flair-Highspots NWA Title drama:
It has been accurately reported that, Highspots is one of two companies that Ric Flair pledged his NWA belt to for outstanding amounts owed. To ensure that the eventual buyer has no potential issues, Highspots has continued to work with the other holder of the lien on the title belt at issue.
After speaking with our counsel, Combraco, Inc. has informed us that they decided to give Mr. Flair an additional six months in which to repay the more than $300,000 that he owes to them. While we are disappointed by the delay, we respect the legal process and continue to work to resolve the issues with Mr. Flair's other creditors to protect the interest of our customers.
In the unlikely event Mr. Flair pays these funds owed, we will be the only remaining lien holder on the belt and will place it back for sale. If he does not, we anticipate working with Combraco after the period ends to reach a final agreement to facilitate the sale.
Again, we are sorry for the delay, but Highspots is a long standing and respected company that values its integrity and respect for the legal process. We will continue to hold the belt and will update the situation and contact all individuals who submitted bids again this spring.
"In the unlikely event Mr. Flair pays these funds owed..."
Ouch. But it's only harsh (and funny) because it's not necessarily untrue.

It's a shame that people outside the internet don't know what a piece of shit Flair is.
The internet is still the vocal minority. As long as the marks are kept ignorant, Flair will be able to scam his way into more paydays.

Maybe Flair should work for JBL to help repay his debts...

It's sad just how low Flair has sunk.
He needs to go to TNA, get the highest deal he can manage, and start paying people off to at least attempt to salvage some dignity.
Doubt the WWE would pay him all he needs in this situation.

When it goes back up for sale, I think Vince should buy it and out it the HOF.

UTTER BULLSHIT
Flair is in this mess because he has spent his entire career living his gimmick. the ONLY person Flair has to blame is himself because he wasn't smart enough to plan for his own future.
stop swallowing what Flair's squirting and learn a lesson from his situation...
...don't live beyond your means.

I guess you could say the NWA belt is held up (cue Roger Dahltrey scream).

I've never been clear, how does Flair owe these people so much money?

um......Because he BORROWED it from them!
You see, when you get a LOAN, you are expected to pay it back.
Pretty simple really.

"um......Because he BORROWED it from them!"
- I'd imagine he's querying it due to the fact that highspots.com isn't a well known loan shark (as far as i know!), so it's a pretty reasonable question to ask.

I agree - this is the most brilliant comment ever. Well played sir. Well played.

Perhaps Flair's belt isn't REALLY that valuable, and maybe he said F' it, I'll take the CASH!! Screw these inet marks!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! "In the unlikely event? IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT?" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't talk TO ME about what's unlikely, because I know better than anyone else on God's green earth that there's no way you're getting the money I owe ya! Because when you're the 16-time heavyweight champion of the world! WOO! You don't need to concern yourself with every single one of them! I've got more championships and more accolades than anyone who's ever been in this business. CAN EVER DREAM OF!
So don't THINK you're threatening me by holding MY property for ransom, because the person who buys this symbol of my greatness may get to hold it in his hands and see his reflection in it, but he'll always know that he never beat THE MAN for it, and he will always know that he stands in my shadow.
'Cause I'm the original check skipping, investment flipping, pocket picking, creditor tricking, bum of the slum! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Flair still owes ROH money and another indy company money. He is a fraud.

Are you mental? At what point did the poster make ANY statement relating to being on Flair's jock? I guess you just had a comment that you wanted to make anyway to pose it off as a "response" to a Flair supporter so you picked the one that closes to being a Flair supporter to you in your mind because you're comment had NOTHING to do with his comment lol..... people....
