Resolution to the Highspots vs. Ric Flair Lawsuit
The Highspots Facebook page has noted that TNA star Ric Flair's $35,000 judgment has been paid to the wrestling retailer, therefore Flair will avoid jail time.
"Whichever Angel pitched in the $ for him THANK YOU," reads the Highspots Facebook page post, seeming to imply that someone other than Flair paid the judgment.
Flair had an order issued for his arrest on May 25th, due to non-payment of a court settlement of $35,000 that Flair had to pay Highspots by June 27th, 2011, or he could have faced jail time.
