Speaking through his official Twitter account, former Ring of Honor owner Cary Silkin ripped WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair in regards to a potential Kickstarter project, citing that Flair owed Ring of Honor money after walking out during an event in New York City and no-showing other scheduled bookings.

“Kickstart my f****** a**. ‘Ooh please help us’. What a bunch of s*** u begging weak b**** lying wrestling biz carny fleece artists. Oooh let’s have a @RicFlairNatrBoy Kickstarter project so he can pay back everyone he f*****!!! @Highspots @RingOfHonor @ColtCabana. I was f***** by @RicFlairNatrBoy for 40K and it’s less than others if u have any balls retweet this @ScrapDaddyAP @KingCorino @Highspots.”

According to a report from PWInsider, Silkin confirmed that he did indeed write the comments on his Twitter.

The issues between Silkin and Flair stems from a lawsuit filed in January 2010 by Ring Of Honor (then owned by Silkin) against Ric Flair in Bucks County, Pennsylvania alleging that Flair owed the company over $40,000 stemming from Flair failing to live up to his contractual obligations as the Ring of Honor Ambassador on the ROH on HDNet tapings and ROH live events in 2009. The company alleged that Flair was originally scheduled to make 5 appearances at ROH shows for $10,000 per appearance, however Flair failed to appear at a scheduled ROH event in Montreal, Canada in July 2009 and then failed to return his $10,000 payment for the event.

The lawsuit alledged that Flair only attended one ROH on HDNet TV taping after coming to terms with ROH to perform in an authority figure role, however Flair appeared at one taping and at the next set made a brief announcement to the live crowd that he was resigning the commission due to his relationship with the WWE, noting that Flair was paid $35,000 for the TV appearances and only made on appearance. The lawsuit was never resolved and Silkin sold the company to Sinclair Broadcasting in May 2011.
