WWE legend Ric Flair almost fought a pizza parlor manager in Gainsville, Florida on Tuesday afternoon, as seen in a video from TMZ.
The three-minute clip shows an agitated Nature Boy getting into a heated verbal argument with the manager of Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza before another customer intervened and physically threatened the 75-year-old.
During the conversation, Flair referred to the manager as “Nicholas D***head” and called him a “dips***” in front of his employees as he stood on either side of the bar.
“Come out here and talk to me like a man,” Flair told the manager before another man interrupted and told Flair, “Hey, you wanna go talk to me in the parking lot?” Because I don’t work here. I don’t care.’
‘What did you say to me? What did you say to me?’ Flair responded after the bystander stood up for the manager, who did his best to remain calm despite the wrestling icon’s verbal attack.

Following the incident, Flair took to Instagram to express his feelings about his experience
As the bickering continued, the manager accused Flair of swearing at one of his employees. In response, Nature Boy said, “I never said a curse word.”
Flair then offered one of the employees a huge tip to berate their manager. “I’m going to give you a thousand dollar tip just to tell him, ‘Kiss my a**,'” Flair told a bartender as he turned to the manager.
While the situation thankfully didn’t escalate, Flair took to Instagram to express his feelings about his experience and the staff.
Additionally, he explained how the exchange stemmed from an issue he had with the bathroom line and the kitchen manager.
“I spent $1,500 on [Piesano’s] To be disrespected more than I ever have in my entire life,” Flair wrote. ‘After taking 20 photos with customers and staff, I was asked to leave due to an issue I had with the kitchen manager staying in the bathroom too long.’
‘I would highly recommend anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing time in Gainesville at a nice restaurant to never visit this place! WOOOOOO!’
