Ric Flair’s Manager Blasts Stolen Money Claim As ‘Despicable Lies’

As we noted earlier today, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair is suing his former management team, Legacy Talent, claiming the company stole money owed to him from the production of the “30 for 30” special which recently premiered on ESPN.

Flair claims Legacy kept $25,000 which was owed to him from the documentary, along with money owed to Flair from other projects he booked through Legacy Talent.

In a response to Flair’s claims, Legacy issued the following statement to TMZ.com:

“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,” Legacy says.

“Ric has always left a trail of destruction in his wake whether it be from his ex wives, the IRS, 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.”

“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.”
