While Ric Flair’s professional life was on the rise, his personal life was moving in the opposite direction, which resulted in some financial troubles for the “Nature Boy”. Therefore, a good way for someone like Flair to wind down and take his mind off his many problems was to prank people.
One such prank involved Ric Flair dressed in drag to prank another wrestler. One of Flair’s former tag team partners Blackjack Mulligan spoke to MidAtlanticWrestling.net. During the interview, he described an incident where he convinced Ric Flair to dress up in drag to prank a fellow wrestler named ‘Dynamite’ Jack Evans.
“One night Ric and I were at the Hilton in Raleigh. I talked Ric into dressing up like a girl. Flair comes into the bar…we’re pulling a rib on a little buddy of ours who we loved, named ‘Dynamite’ Jack Evans. He was a good little worker there…”
Anyway, he was always with one of us. He was our side guy…he did the driving for us and the dirty work. But that let him stay in the territory. Dynamite Jack was our guy…with Ric and I there was always a big fight as to who was going to get Dynamite Jack.
I told Dynamite Jack, I said, ‘I got me a new girlfriend.’ And he said, ‘Really, Jack?’ Now keep in mind, Dynamite Jack couldn’t see too well…he had these big thick glasses (laughing) So, I talk Flair into dressing up like a girl. He puts this wig and this dress on, and he comes on into the bar at the Hilton there. And Flair’s sitting on my lap…
Dynamite Jack reaches over to Angelo Mosca and says, ‘HOLY MOLY, THAT MULLY HAS ONE UGLY BROAD WITH HIM TONIGHT…LOOK AT THE NOSE ON HER!’
