Not a good look. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently posted a message on his social media accounts advising that people avoid a restaurant that he visited in Gainesville, Florida. However, a new video on social media shows that perhaps The Nature Boy wasn’t completely innocent in his behavior at the establishment.
You can see the message that Flair sent below:
“I Spent $1500 At Piesano’s Stone Fired Pizza 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!”

According to a report from the Gainesville Sun:
Piesanos co-owner Jerry Roberts, when reached Monday by The Sun, said the “evidence was clear” but declined to explain why Flair was asked to leave the restaurant. He then sent a prepared statement via text message.
“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.”
We will continue to monitor this story and provide any updates as they become available.
