Flair, 75, was celebrating his stepdaughter’s college graduation at Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza in Gainesville, and surveillance footage emerged of him calling a staffer a “dips–t” and inviting him to settle their differences outside.
During the radio spot, Flair referenced how he had a near-death experience in 2017 , and that his “intestines” and the rest of his body “work different now.”
The implication of that is that Flair needed to use the bathroom, and was agitated that an employee of the restaurant was taking a while to do his business.
He said he had a cordial relationship with the bartenders at the establishment before the bathroom incident, and that the employee named Nicholas, who was behind the bar during the video, confronted him over his bathroom behavior, but they had not had prior interactions.
Footage has emerged of the incident where Ric Flair was kicked out of a restaurant.
“I’m with my wife and my stepdaughter, who just got her degree in criminology and is going to work for the FBI, and they came on so strong that she got scared right out the door.”

Flair walked back his post on X where he said he’d never eat at the restaurant again, saying he actually has already ordered delivery from the establishment since the incident.
“I was wrong for losing my temper. I probably should have just walked out the door but it caught me so off guard because we were having a wonderful time.”
Flair denied being intoxicated at the time of the confrontation, saying he drank Michelob Ultra beers and “probably” two mixed drinks.
