Wrestler Ric Flair Accused Of Road Rage
POSTED: 5:35 pm EST November 28, 2005 UPDATED: 6:50 pm EST November 28, 2005
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Pro wrestler Ric Flair faces assault charges after a road rage incident on Interstate 485 in Charlotte. Another driver said Flair attacked him and his car.
The driver said he was on I-485 on Wednesday,trying to get out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday and traffic was slow.
The driver said he noticed someone behind him flashing their headlights, so he hit his brakes.
The driver said the car then pulled along side him, police said. The victim said he immediately recognized the driver as Ric Flair.
The driver told police that Flair got out of his car, walked over to the vehicle, grabbed him by the neck and damaged his car.
Police said there are two warrants out for Flair -- simple assault and damage to personal property.
Flair's attorney, Richard Finnell, said Flair is unaware of the warrants. He said Flair is in Michigan this week for a pay-per-view wrestling event.
Finnell said Flair would be back in Charlotte on Tuesday.

"The driver said he noticed someone behind him flashing their headlights, so he hit his brakes."

A pro-wrestler? In a 'roid rage? Unpossible.

Where is the reckless driving charge on the part of the driver who attempted to cause a collission.

Do not exit the vehicle unless you are bullet-proof, which nobody is.

Perhaps it was some other guy with peroxide hair and a feather robe.

Good thing Hacksaw wasnt behind the wheel. Ric Flair could take a few "rage" lessons from this guy.

That deserves something. Know what? When I get a tail gater on me, if I am alone, I always hit my brakes hard. Yeah, a-hole; hit me. I got a big machine and more insurance that you; and rear ending is automatically on YOU, fool.
