The Scoop

Posted: Jan 9th 2013 By: mikeiles

NEWS
At the current time, ?Nature Boy? Ric Flair isn?t expected to return to WWE television for a regular role until after the "Royal Rumble" pay-per-view.

Jacqueline Fliehr, the estranged wife of Ric Flair, is due to appear in court in North Carolina later this month on multiple drink driving offenses. Fliehr is currently fighting for separation support and alimony through the court system. She filed suit claiming that Flair hasn?t given her what he agreed to pay after they separated in June. Court documents revealed recently that Flair owes the IRS $237,436 in unpaid taxes, and also owes the North Carolina Department of Revenue $41,358.

Fans in Japan will get their Ric Flair fix later this month as the Nature Boy will be wrestling for All Japan Pro Wrestling in an event to be held on January 26th in Tokyo. Flair will team up with Keiji Mutoh, better known to American wrestling fans as the Great Muta, to take on Tatsumi Fujinami and Seiya Sanada. Mutoh and Flair feuded for a while when Mutoh, under the name of The Great Muta, was brought in the NWA by manager Gary Hart. Muta went on to feud with Flair, Luger, and even Sting who he eventually won the NWA TV title from, only to lose it a few months later to Arn Anderson.

Mick Foley posted a teaser about his possible WWE Hall of Fame induction "Might have to buy some of those Hall of Fame tickets?just in case! #FoleyFriendsAndFamily".
