Money to burn?
|
We all know that Nature Boy Ric Flair has money problems. But how bad is it?
Is Naitch doing more wheelin' and dealin' than he is Lear Jet-flyin' and limousine-ridin'? Is he a 16-time World Champion spender? To be the man, do you have to bankrupt the man? Does the former Money In The Bank participant actually have money in the bank? Can Slick Ric slap a figure-four on his debts? Will.... hmmm, I guess I've killed this analogy sufficiently.
In order to find out how far away Ric is from walking the aisle to the poorhouse (ooh, another one!), we've obtained a copy of his bank book for last month. Why his accountant let us see and then publish it, I'll never know.
