Ric Flair is walking back his online response after a resurfaced story from Jim Ross accused him of exposing himself at a private dinnerand now, two of Flairs most talked-about tweets have been deleted.
About an hour after defending himself on social media, Flair quietly erased both his clapback at Ross and his now-infamous WOOOOO Compromise consent post.
Flair had originally fired back at JR following a Ringside News report covering Ross recent appearance on Podcast Heat Wrestling, where he described a disturbing moment involving Flair at a birthday dinner for wrestling executive Gary Justers wife. Ross claimed that Flair walked out of a bathroom wearing only a robe, socks, and shoeswith no underwearand strutted around with an erection in front of the guests.
After the story regained attention, Flair responded directly to Ross on Twitter with a now-deleted jab: Jim Ross Will Always Be Jim Ross, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery @JRsBBQ!
Shortly after that, Flair posted another tweet defending the parody consent image he shared earlier that daya fake contract titled The WOOOOO Compromise referencing his Space Mountain gimmick. In the post, Flair said it was all meant as a joke.
If You Cant Take A Joke From A 76 Year Old Man, Then You Are Living Life Too Seriously. It Was All Harmless, Lighthearted Fun! Just Trying To Make People Laugh & Smile!
Now, both the tweet targeting Ross and the one about the consent joke have been taken down.
The deleted posts come after backlash online, as many pointed out how inappropriate it was to make a joke about sexual consent while long-standing accusations continue to surround Flairincluding the infamous Plane Ride from Hell incident where he was accused of exposing himself and trying to force a flight attendant to touch him.
Flairs decision to quietly erase his tweets hasnt gone unnoticed. Whether its an admission of poor judgment or just an attempt to avoid further heat, the deletions are raising more questions than answers about how seriously he takes the criticism.
Was Ric Flair just trying to be funnyor is he realizing too late that some things arent a joke? Should Ric Flair apologize? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
