Ric Flairs latest tweet was meant to be a heartfelt tribute to his health and familybut instead, it reignited backlash less than 24 hours after he deleted controversial posts targeting Jim Ross and sharing a mock consent message known as The WOOOOO Compromise.
On June 1, 2025, Flair posted three photos from his past hospitalization and recoveryone of him in a hospital bed, another in a wheelchair, and one more hitting the treadmillwith a sentimental caption:
But fans werent feeling it. With his tweet about Jim Ross still fresh in everyones mindone where Flair accused the legendary commentator of being an attention seeker during a serious battle with cancermany users slammed Flair for what they saw as blatant hypocrisy.
One fan immediately flipped the script on Flair, writing: Quit being an attention seeker grandpa.
Another user tried to find middle ground but still pointed out the contradiction: That JR stuff isnt the way to go this far in life. Glad you are both doing good!
Others stayed blunt: Attention seeking. Why did you go in on JR like that?
Ric Flair being Ric Flair. Attention Seeking, someone else beloved in the wrestling industry just had surgery and he made a bad joke about it but wants to post about his health after deleting said joke.
One person summed it up with a sarcastic jab: Ric Flair Will Always Be Ric Flair, Seeking Attention. Focus On Your Recovery
A screenshot of Flairs now-deleted tweet calling Jim Ross an attention seeker also started circulating again, with one fan saying: Dont act like we didnt all see this.
The replies didnt stop there, as more piled on with lines like: At it again seeking attention. Looking for attention at every opportunity.
Within minutes, Flair was trending on Twitter again, but for all the wrong reasons.
Flair has yet to respond to this fresh wave of criticism, but after deleting the tweet about JR and doubling down with a sentimental health post, its clear fans arent ready to move on just yet.
