JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Legendary pro wrestler Ric Flair claimed he was kicked out of a Gainesville restaurant over the weekend after attending graduation ceremonies at the University of Florida.
The “Nature Boy” took to social media and posted this after a visit to Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza: “Spent $1500 at @piesanosstonefiredpizza To Be Disrespected More Than I Ever Have In My Entire Life. After Taking 20 Pictures With Customers And Staff, I Was Asked To Leave Because Of An Issue I Had With The Kitchen Manager Taking Too Long In The Bathroom. I Would Highly Recommend That Anyone Who Wants To Enjoy A Relaxing Time In Gainesville At A Nice Restaurant To Never Visit This Place! WOOOOO!”
The Going Ringside Podcast, which covers the pro wrestling industry, contacted the co-owner of the restaurant and he sent a statement: “We have reviewed video of the incident that took place recently at our restaurant. It is clear, our team worked in a professional manner to ensure the safety of guests and staff. We have thanked our team for their professionalism. We are proud of how they responded to this situation using and displaying our team values.”
Footage has emerged of the incident where Ric Flair was kicked out of a restaurant.
