It appears restaurants and bars in Tampa, Florida, have been enduring the transgressions of former WWE legend Ric Flair for several months. According to an anonymous Tampa resident who either owns a restaurant and bar business or works there, Ric Flair has been drunkenly defecating in various establishments in the area, presumably with his pants on.
The allegation came from Reddit user HonchoPoncho824, who posted his impassioned rant in r/Tampa titled “Does Rick Flair keep coming to your restaurant and sh*tting himself?”. Apparently, Ric Flair has done this around six times in 2025 and often gets expelled from these establishments, likely leaving the service workers cleaning up after the old man and former wrestler. The post was immediately deleted, though some quick hands managed to preserve it, and it has since gone viral:
It’s not clear why the post was deleted or if the Tampa worker is afraid of potential repercussions from the man himself, seeing as he might have kept tabs on which restaurants or bars kicked him out. It also wasn’t clear whether Ric Flair was diligent enough to defecate outside of his pants or inside, but either way, service workers would’ve had to clean up a rather stinky mess afterward if the reports are anything to go by.
This alleged incident is not exactly the first time Ric Flair was caught causing trouble for Florida’s restaurants or bars. Around a year ago, footage of Flair drunkenly berating a restaurant employee surfaced on the internet:
Other places where Ric Flair lashed out would be in Charlotte, North Carolina, where a restaurant that named a meal after him had to retract the gesture after the former wrestler allegedly threw a chair at another customer.
Was the Wrestling Persona Real?
Flair has had plenty of success in WWE in the past and was even made into a Hall of Famer. He was famous for his flamboyant, lavish, and arrogant persona as “The Nature Boy” and was notable for his showmanship and underhanded, below-the-belt tactics, which earned him the reputation of being the “dirtiest player in the game”. It appears that persona might not have been acting on his part if the allegations are true.
Fans, or former fans, are concerned for the man’s image, however, stating that he might be a little too old for alcoholism and unhealthy episodes. Some, however, found Ric Flair’s reported constant troublesome behavior hilarious, particularly the part where he poops in his pants. I imagine service workers didn’t find it funny, however.
“The man still thinks his drinking is endearing and hilarious, despite the fact that 1) Drinking like that might have been legendary in the 80s but it’s not nearly as cool now (and I say that as someone that enjoys getting my buzz on) and 2) He’s 75 years old and father time is undefeated,” says QuicksilverTerry
“lol this is hilarious but i also feel bad for those people who have to deal with it,” laughs Sensitive-Degree-26
“That’s why they call him the dirtiest player in the game,” according to Cjvolney12
