There is some industry heat on Ric Flair for his recent behavior, including over allegations that he has yet to return money for past business deals. According to the story, Ring of Honor and another unnamed entity believe Flair owes them money--in Ring of Honor's case, it is the advance payment sum given to The Nature Boy before he backed out of the ambassador role.

Flair, who turned down a non-wrestling return deal with the WWE Smackdown brand earlier this summer and has not received much WWE interest in recent weeks, is said to be "completely banking" on the success of his deal with the North Carolina lottery. He is reportedly not interested in working with TNA, even though he contractually would be allowed to do so.
