2) “All Part Of The Image”

How hard is it to keep up with Flair in a night of his shenanigans? Just ask Lex Luger who dropped $500 bucks to stay in a hotel for a couple of minutes after a night of partying.

Lex Luger from an interview with Inside the Ropes, told the incredible story about when he tried to keep up with Ric Flair and his lifestyle outside of the ring.

“Limousine riding jet flying, that was the lifestyle. Ric would stay up so late, riding around the town. Early in my career, when I was riding with him…. He always checked into real fancy hotels, so he checked into this fancy hotel in Sacramento so I did too, but by the time we got there, we checked in and had to go straight to the arena, then we stayed out all night, and when we got back to the hotel, we had a flight to catch”

Luger continued:

“I got into the room and lay down on the bed for like ten seconds and had to grab my bag and go check out. Now this was the 80s and the room cost $500, I almost fell over in the lobby. I was so mad at Ric. I just spent $500 on a room I never got to stay in and Ric said ‘All part of the image enhancement Lex, all part of the image enhancement.'”
