CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Professional wrestler Ric Flair is facing more accusations of violence. His soon-to-be ex wife said he abused her.

Flair is out on bond after being charged with assaulting a man on a Charlotte road.

In May, his wife, Beth, filed for divorce claiming Ric slapped, kicked, choked, and bit her. She also alleges both steroid and alcohol abuse.

Also in the court papers were Ric's legal responses to Beth's claims.

He says that his wife had assaulted him more than once, "striking him about the head and body." He also said he "feared for his phyisical and emotional safety."

But those allegations Ric made agaist his wife Beth this past August are in stark contrast to what he wrote in his autobiography. "To Be The Man" was published just last year. In Chapter 10 he says, "I'm lucky to be her husband". He ends his book saying, "Beth has endured more than a woman should." He continued, saying he planned "on spending the rest of his life proving to her that diamonds are forever."

Ric, you need help, my boy.

Each claims that the other was violent.

Claims don't mean guilt.

You're right, claims don't mean guilt, but Flair's reputation is starting to proceed him here after the simple assault charge. Again, innoncent until proven guilty, though.

Even though all of this stuff is unfortunate about the Nature Boy, one positive is his schedule may become open for the Fanfests.

I read he is paying Beth $20,000/MONTH in spousal support. That's gotta hurt!
