A former WWE Tag Team Champion has claimed that AEW star Ric Flair will eventually be arrested and put in prison. The Nature Boy has been having issues outside the ring and they are undoubtedly troublesome.
The personality in question would be none other than Rene Dupree. The Canadian star won the World Tag Team Championship when he was part of the La Resistance faction in the Stamford-based promotion. He has now spoken about Ric Flair’s problem with alcohol on his Cafe de Rene podcast.
Flair recently had a run-in with a manager of a Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza restaurant in Gainesville, Florida, and that was just one more mishap that has happened with regards to him. Dupree said that the WWE Hall of Famer had an issue and that he could not keep getting away with such behavior.
“Ric Flair has an issue. Ric Flair has a problem. He has serious issues. He is an alcoholic and I said this last week, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. He is who he is. Eventually, he will be arrested and put in prison or put in jail. I don't give a sh*t who you are. Eventually, enough is enough and you know, he is gonna do something wrong and nobody is above the law in my opinion," Rene Dupree said. [9:33 - 10:20]
