Ric Flair Goes on NSFW Rant About Not Getting Married in Cameo a Sister Bought for the Groom

Ric Flair may have walked down the aisle multiple times, but he’s not exactly encouraging anyone else to follow his lead.

A Cameo message from the 76-year-old WWE icon has been making the rounds again after resurfacing on social media. The video, originally recorded in April and later shared in an X post on Dec. 23, was purchased by a woman named Tina as a wedding-day surprise for her brother, Eric. Tina said she paid $1,000 for the video—only to end up calling it, in her words, “the worst thing he’s ever been gifted.”

In the clip, Flair (real name Richard Fliehr) appears to be sitting at a bar as he starts the message, telling Eric that “Tina, family and the military boys” are sending him the greeting. He opens by sounding unsure of the occasion, saying, “I guess this is a beautiful gift, I’m not sure why,” then seems to realize what he’s recording: “Oh bachelor gift? Gotcha, man.”

As he continues, he reacts to details from the request, including the fact that Eric has a tattoo of Flair. Flair responds with a quip: “So many women do.”

The tone shifts as the video goes on. Flair slurs his words at points and abruptly tells the groom, “Don’t do it.” He then adds, “No, he’s getting married. Oh my God. Why would you get married, motherf—er?”

Flair continues by criticizing marriage as a financial commitment. “It’s the worst possible commitment you could do, because after the day you get married, 50% of everything is hers. I don’t care how beautiful she is,” he says, before suggesting Eric should “stay her girlfriend.”

Flair’s personal history includes multiple marriages: he was married to Leslie Goodman in 1971 and divorced in 1983. That same year, he married Elizabeth Harrell; they divorced in 2006. He then married Tiffany VanDemark in 2006 and the marriage ended three years later. He also married Jackie Beems in 2009, and they divorced in 2014. Flair later had a long-term relationship with Wendy Barlow from 2011 to 2024, and the two previously said they were never legally married despite holding a wedding ceremony in Florida in September 2018.

Toward the end of the Cameo, Flair appears to return to the original request, offering the groom “best of luck.” He wraps up with one of his signature-style sign-offs: “Diamonds are forever and so is Ric Flair, and that’s the God’s honest truth. I’m a diamond. I’m forever. I’ve overstayed my welcome and my name is Ric Flair.”

The buyer who ordered the Cameo later left an angry review, calling the video “unbelievable.” In the review, they wrote that after spending “nearly a GRAND” on a wedding wish for someone her brother admired enough to tattoo on himself, she expected a more thoughtful message.

Instead, the reviewer criticized Flair for reading the notes “word for word the first time” and, more pointedly, for telling the groom he was making a mistake—adding that Flair seemed so intoxicated he “could barely speak right.” The review ends with the buyer’s conclusion that what should have been a great gift became “the worst thing he’s ever been gifted.”
