In a recent incident at Piesanos Stone Oven Pizza in Gainesville, Florida, wrestling legend Ric Flair had a heated altercation with the staff, which has now been captured on a TikTok video that surfaced yesterday.

Flair's initial claims of being asked to leave the restaurant after a dispute with a kitchen manager over using a restroom sparked a chain of conflicting accounts. The manager of a sister Piesanos establishment alleged that Flair was "drunk and disorderly" and even accused him of swinging furniture around. On the other hand, the co-owner of the Gainesville Piesanos asserted that the video evidence supported his staff's actions, refusing to provide further details or release the video.

However, contrary to their previous statements, the video of the incident has now been made available on TikTok. In the footage, Flair can be seen admonishing members of the Piesanos staff, vehemently denying any wrongdoing. He warned that his treatment would have negative consequences for the restaurant, urging them to "watch social media tomorrow."

During the confrontation, Flair brought up the bathroom incident, claiming that he was unjustly accused of accosting the kitchen manager and using foul language towards him. Flair even offered a $1,000 tip to another staff member to deliver an explicit message to the employee he had been arguing with.

The video also shows Flair challenging the employee to confront him outside and engaging in a verbal altercation with another patron who was willing to take the conversation outside.

Towards the end of the video, Flair was asked to leave the premises after continuing to insult the employee. However, the staff member refuted Flair's claim of being kicked out, stating that he was merely being cut off from further service.

The release of the TikTok video offers a glimpse into the highly charged situation that unfolded between Ric Flair and the staff at Piesanos Stone Oven Pizza. As the incident gains traction on social media, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact both Flair's reputation and the restaurant's public image.
