| Cops: Ric Flair roughed up by daughter's boyfriend RALEIGH, N.C. -- Most of former professional wrestler Ric Flair's fights were scripted. But Chapel Hill, N.C., police didn't find anything fake about the blood and bruises on the Nature Boy after a fight with his daughter's 22-year-old boyfriend. Neither man was charged, but Flair's daughter, Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, was charged for resisting police after the 22-year-old became belligerent and kicked an officer, Chapel Hill police Lt. Kevin Gunter said Tuesday. Neighbors called police about 2:30 a.m. Friday about a fight at an apartment in the city about 30 miles northwest of Raleigh. The fight was over, but officers followed a trail of blood to Fliehr's apartment. She told police the men had fought but it was over and things were fine. Officers found the 59-year-old Flair, whose real name is Richard Fliehr, on a bed in the back room. The boyfriend was in another part of the apartment. Flair admitted fighting with the boyfriend but he didn't want to press charges, Gunter said. Gunter refused to give the boyfriend's name because he was not charged. "He was kind of elusive," Gunter said of Flair. "He said everything was fine. Officers said he had a 'no problems here' kind of attitude. He just wanted everything forgotten." Flair, known for his platinum blond hair, fur-lined robes and signature "Wooooo!" catchphrase, retired earlier this year after a 36-year career. He had wrestled for a number of big-name organizations, including World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment. |

| #10 If wrestling was fake, this hillbilly wouldn't bet on it. I bet with fellow coal miners and I usually win. No. I am not toothless, although I lost a couple in a fight with a cheater. |

| #5 Flair probably tried to talk the boyfriend to death. My old hero, "Dick the Bruiser",would have given him one heluva smack...and only one would have been needed. |

| #4 IIUC, earlier pro-wrestlers came from, well, free or greco-roman wrestling and were often quite good at it, in addition to being athletically gifted. Nowadays, I think more and more come from other sport backgrounds, and so are not able to actually perform the moves except as choregraphies. The origins of pro-wrestling as the "catch as can catch" fights is also very interesting, talk about a rough and shoddy past. |

| #2 I am not fond of wrestling and I never watch it on TV but: First: We don't know how big and strong is boy friend. We have images of an Obama-like guy when it could be that he is Hulk Hogan-like but 22 years old againt a 59er. Second: We don't know if the fight was fair or if Flair (that I don't know) was hit by surprise and/or with a bat or similar object. Wrestling is fake but you still need to be strong in order to lift the other guy and agile when it is you who is being lifted and thrown around. |
