Ric Flair isn't staying quiet in the latest pro wrestling controversy. After former ROH owner Cary Silkin accused The Nature Boy of owing him $41,000 for failing to appear at four signings, Flair took to Twitter late on December 22 to fire back in true Ric Flair fashion.
Flair posted, "First Person To Comment After My Post! Apparently I'm Not The Only One Who Has A Problem With You Cary!" The tweet was accompanied by a screenshot of what appears to be an Instagram DM sent to Flair. The sender's name was obscured, but the message didn't hold back:
"Hey Ric I hope you bury the f*** out of Cary Silkin. He is the biggest money mark of all time. He funded RING of Honor when I ran it and f***ed me over. He is the worst human of all time. I hate the guy as he is a con artist."
The heated exchange comes after Silkin publicly called Flair out, tweeting, "Please pay me back the 41K you owe me for failing to appear at 4 signing. sincerely Cary Silkin." The allegations follow Flair's recent revelation that he lost $2 million in a 20-year-old business deal gone wrong, which he clarified had nothing to do with his family or personal relationships.
Flair's latest tweet shifts the narrative, suggesting there's more to the story than Silkin let on. It's unclear who sent the DM, but the message only adds fuel to the fire in what's shaping up to be a messy public feud between two prominent wrestling figures.
