Did you want him to chop you? Lock you in the figure four? Ride Space Mountain with Tina? I didn't pay to see flair, but just by looking at his expressions throughout the night and I can tell you Flair gets a thrill from doing this all over the U.S. and globe. I don't think Flair lost his smile at all. I mean, the man just took +100 pictures and signed God knows how many items...if it was another wrestler, ala Sandman, you think they would be sitting there with flashes in their eyes and signing autographs up the wazoo they would be gone halfway through, if that. You have to remember though, the guy was paid 10,000+ dollars. I would put on a happy face for 100+ pictures and autographs for that money. Hell, I would sign autographs and pictures for a week straight and give a 10 hour long speach for 10 grand plus. Here's an example, as Flair was getting out of the ring, he reached out his hand to shake hands and spiker shook his hand and I stuck mine out, he looked right at my hand and just walked away. I think he is pretty greedy to want 10 grand+ to come out, sign autographs, take pictures, and give a minute long sgive presents toch. Also, Sandman was very nice to me, signed 2 autographs and my family and I were able to get a picture with him and he didn't charge a cent and was very nice. He didn't just walk away Nick...he shook my and Noah's hand...the man is a class act head to toe, unlike the Sandman who has about as much class as a used condom and a personallity to match.

I was unaware that he shook yours and Noah's hand. The fact of the matter is that he looked right at my hand and just walked over to you. Do you guys notice that the only people that Flair shook hands with were the people that paid to meet him. And how did Sandman get mixed up in this?

Hell Nick I paid to meet him and he didn't even look up at me. I don't know how Sandman became involved but anytime I've seen him he's signed things and taken pics. Also I wasn't negative about Flair coming in I was hugely in favor of it. Now that he snubbed me and who knows how many others just to hit on some chick 40 yrs younger then him I feel like it was the biggest waste ever. But on the other hand the show itself was well worth the price of admission and then some.

I agree Branden the show was great. I was also in favor of Flair coming in. But like you i feel like it was a waste. Thankfully the show saved it.

I brought the Sandman into this because he's a waste of flesh and was completely unprofessional when I met him-I used him as a contrast to class and style that Ric Flair has. The fact he hit on a girl that much younger than him only solidifies my view of him-way to go Ric!!! In all honesty after so many pics and autographs, I sincerely doubt he remembered who paid to see him and who didn't. I do agree that the show was awesome without Flair, but he's who most of the fans came to see-the show with the regular wrestlers is what will bring back the new fans(hopefully).

See you say way to go Ric but i didn't pay my cash to hear him hitting on some girl and get snubbed in the process. See if you were behind me in the line than you'd probably be a little pissed too. Think about it you pay cash to meet ric and have a picture or something signed you say hello Ric but instead of getting a hello back you hear come back to my room and i'll let you wear my robe and my belt sweetheart i didn't hear the rest but think about it anyone who paid the cash and got that would be pissed.

The above posts make me wonder if someone was jealous that Flair didnt ask him to wear his robe and belt....

John, I really wish he would have been more accommodating toward you, I can only speak for my experience with him, and although it agitated you, I have to wonder if he was just in character, I mean he's know for that behavior...not making excuses for the man, just playing devil's advocate.

I must say that i've found that Shark Boy has more class then Ric Flair. Now that's saying something (no disrespect to Shark Boy).

he wasn't in character and I got the same thing no hello nothing. Even if he was in character I paid to meet him not even a hello is total BS. When Sandman snubbed Ken I'm sure Ken didn't pay $45 to get snubbed. Again this will make me think before paying to meet any "superstar" in the future. Also John were you one of the guys with the belts that was signed by the former champions?? If so then yes I was behind you if not then Flair hit on more then one girl at this show and this garbage happened to more people then just us.

this pisses me off even more now. So he did this to countless other people. The girl he hit on near me had long dark hair, tight white shirt, with bf,mom and dad, told a story to us about dr feelbads sister and other wrestlers in uniontown and had a bf who did not want to be there. Siege was with me and can confirm. It pisses me off that someone be it N~Con or Flair (I assume Flair) can charge that ammount and not even look at you and say hi. I thank god I didn't pay the extra and get more signed. The girl behind us didn't even stay til the end of the show so Flair's hopes were probably crushed. Guess money can't buy everything. Cue Ted Dibiase Sr's music.

You know what? Is it wrong that he likes to flirt with the ladies (even if they are younger)? I'm soooo sorry that you guys think that Ric Flair crushed your hopes because he didn't shake your hand. I was honored to be in his presence and I didn't get my hand shook, I didn't get my picture taken with him, I didn't hear him flirt with girls, I didn't even get a glance, but I was still in awe of his presence. It was worth the money that I have paid for and, I know, if I did pay 75 bucks for a VIP section I WOULD STILL be.
