According to a source, several sources in TNA have confirmed that Ric Flair missed the TNA event in Germany due to, "Flair refusing to get on the plane to Germany". Those sources have also stated that the reason he did not get on the plane was due to a blow up with a member of TNA management in Dublin, Ireland.


The source went on to say the following…


"He threw a fit. He was playing 'Nature Boy' on the tour and got pissed off and threw a tantrum. As far as we all know, he's in Dublin still. He said he wasn't coming and he wasn't in Berlin."

This is not the first time Flair has been said to have an outburst since signing with TNA, but most of these incidents were after events, and didn't cause a change to scheduled cards. Flair was not advertised to wrestle in Berlin, but he is advertised for the Glasgow, Scotland show on the 27th. For that event, he is scheduled to team with Kazarian against Douglas Williams and Matt Morgan.


When reached for comment, TNA's head of publicity, Steven Godfrey stated the following…


"TNA does not comment on personnel matters."

More details on the incident are coming out. As reported before, Flair wanted advance money for the tour. When the request was denied, Flair tried to play hardball by refusing to get on the bus that was taking the roster to the airport. The decision was then made to leave him behind.

Certain members of the roster were said to be in favor of leaving Flair behind and mocked him after the bust left, using his "signature promo lines" to do so. There was also discussion among the talent about how much of Flair's partying may have factored into the situation.

Flair was not sent home by the company; he was left behind and could easily catch up to the troupe in Scotland, if he chooses.

I could watch Flair knee drop his jacket all day.

Here's what a person that sounds a lot like AJ Styles had to say about the incident:
The whole thing was stupid but most of us feel more sorry for him than upset. If someone told you everyone is mad, that's a lie. But, there are some pissed because it makes the entire crew look like a**holes and we are certainly tired of his sh**. Flair's asked several of us for money when he's had his credit cards declined. When that happens, the bar tab comes and others get stuck paying for the very drinks he said were on the house in the first place. Everyone loves the "Nature Boy", but when the limousines and party lifestyle is based on bad credit and lies, it suddenly becomes more pathetic than anything else. There is nothing glamorous about a guy who has no concept of money management and then lies to try and get out of it. The fact he has no money should be a lesson every wrestler today should take note on. Don't let this happen to you. If you read the Gorgeous George book that came out and then take an honest look at Ric, you realize, wow, that book is pretty much predicting his future - and that's not a happy ending."

THe reason I say it sounds like AJ Styles is because he tends to bring up wrestling books a lot in interviews.
