Rep Power: 68   | Foley/Flair Fight Dave Meltzer is reporting that there was a backstage physical altercation at RAW last night between two legendary figures - Ric Flair and Mick Foley. As the story goes, Flair reportedly threw a punch at Foley's head before the RAW tapings in Huntsville, Alabama. This happened when Foley refused to shake Flair's hand, and followed that with a comment Flair didn't like about asking for an autographed book. Flair's punch landed, and the two were broken up before anything else happened. Foley wasn't injured from the punch, and decided, as we all saw, to work RAW anyways. | |

Rep Power: 37  | Well we all knew that it would happen sooner or later. Sounds like Flair... If i recall correctly he did the same with Bischoff when he came to WWE. Although that his attack was pre planned. | |

Rep Power: 24 | Flair is a fucking asshole and his is lucky Mick didn't kick his ass from one end to the other. If I know Flair like I think I know Flair, his offer for a handshake was prolly offered with a sneer attitude. Either way, he was being a hypocrite by acting like all was well after saying the stuff he said in his book about Mick. |

Rep Power: 37 | In any other line of work a physical altercation between members of staff would lead to one of them being fired. D'ya reckon Vince would fire Flair? | |

Rep Power: 24 | Ya I do think he would fire him actually. Might take some doing because we know how much HHH likes Flair. If he did I am sure it would only be for a short time and then take him back. |

Rep Power: 5 | Flair is useless. Hes just jelous that Foley is way more popular than him. I hope Bob Holly kicks the crap out of Flair. |

Rep Power: 6 | Id love it if Flair was fired. In all honesty, what is he there for now aside from name value? Absolutely nothing  He can't wrestle anywhere near the spot that he's been given on the card, his promos are samey and do nothing for me these days, and he looks terrible in terms of physical condition compared to every other wrestler anywhere near him on the card. Its ridiculous. He's a PR disaster zone to top it off. |

Rep Power: 5 | Flair is a very ignorant person. He always has been. Remember the plane from hell? What a difference between him and Foley. Foley is a genleman and a very smart guy. Flair may have been a good wrestler, but he is just so stupid. |

Rep Power: 68 | The Honky Tonk Man has updated his website with his thoughts on the Flair/Foley situation from Raw. Here are a few excerpts from the commentary. To read it in it's entirety, visit The HTM's official website at: http://www.thehonkytonkman.com. "I guess Flair is right. To be the man, you have to beat the man. Is that why he sucker punched Mick? The dirtiest player in the game was trying to be the man so he wanted to beat the man. I say Foley is the man because he found his niche outside the business. His books aren't about his bragging rights of being the man or being the Kink. When I had a beef with Mick over some sentences he had written about me, we settled it in a civil manner, shook hands and went on about our business. Why would Flair punch instead of going off to the side and hash things out over a cup coffee? Jealous anger! That is why. I have been called an angry man, but I have not sucker punched anyone over this business. Standing naked in front of airline flight attendants, trying to punch Bischoff (that's ok), making derogatory remarks about virgins in front of WWe advertisers, having a stinking match with the Kink, and sucker punching Foley is enough for WWe to tell Flair, "turn in your plane tickets, you are finished." To be the man, you need to act like the man." | |

Rep Power: 37 | Honkey hits the nail on the head with these two comments: "The dirtiest player in the game was trying to be the man so he wanted to beat the man. " "turn in your plane tickets, you are finished." To be the man, you need to act like the man." Foley is the Man | |
