ORIGINAL: As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently took to Twitter to claim that he was asked to leave Piesonas, a major restaurant chain in Florida, after spending $1500 on a meal.
The WWE Hall of Famer explained that he had an issue with the kitchen manager taking too long in the bathroom, which led to the incident.
In response to the claim, Piesonas co-owner Jerry Roberts provided a statement to The Gainesville Sun, clarifying the circumstances that led to the Flair’s unceremonious departure from the restaurant. He noted that he reviewed the security footage and was proud of the way his staff handled the situation.
Word often spreads quickly among restaurant chains that are in close proximity to each other, and the manager of a sister location of the Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza a few miles down the road has taken to Twitter to provide additional context on why Flair was kicked out of the restaurant.
According to the manager, Flair was “being drunk and disorderly” and at one point “woo’d directly into a blind grandmothers face.”
The manager went on to add that Flair “picked up furniture and swung it menacingly” after being confronted by the staff. He wrote,
“I’m the manager of @PiesanosSFP sister location off Archer. Mr Flair was being drunk and disorderly. He woo’d directly into a blind grandmothers face. After being confronted he picked up furniture and swung it menacingly. We love Ric. But he was booger’d”
Leave it to the Nature Boy to somehow spend $1500 and cause a scene at a Stone Fired Pizza joint! 🤷♂️
