Update on Ric Flair's Money Issues with TNA

In an interview with the Ringside Rap radio show this week, Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier noted that Flair is owed a “considerable amount” of backpay by Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, which may have resulted in Flair’s dispute with the company in Ireland on last week’s tour of Europe.

Mooneyham, who is a long-time friend of Ric Flair, said that earlier this week, Ric Flair asked for advanced pay based on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling owing him money for future dates on the tour and for money unrelated to the tour and that Ric Flair isn’t the only one that is owed money from Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. “They owe him what I would consider a considerable amount of pay,” Mooneyham said.

Mooneyham noted that Flair isn’t blaming anyone that coordinated the tour and says the big thing with Ric Flair is respect and that Flair doesn’t want to be treated like Joe Jabroni and that was pretty much how he was treated by the company.

Mooneyham goes on to note that Flair intended to sit out one of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling’s European tour dates, when they were in Germany, to make a point to the company about how he felt he was treated and that Flair has only sat out three dates in his entire career in professional wrestling.

Mooneyham said stories that Flair was asking the guys for money at bars are untrue. Mooneyham said Flair’s response to stories he was asking wrestlers for money is, “Those guys don’t have any money anyways.”
