A Barefoot Ric Flair Barefoot Planked On The Floor Of A Restaurant For 4 Straight Minutes
This post stopped me in my tracks today. My initial instinct after seeing the caption/thumbnail was that whoever runs Ric's Twitter uploaded the wrong video, because it says "Beast Mode Activated! 4 Minute Plank! WOOOOO!" - but that still image clearly shows The Nature Boy at a restaurant. Surely he's not going to hit a four minute plank there. I pressed play, though, and sure as shit - he's hitting a four minute plank right then and there! Directly on the floor in front of the bar, and for some reason, with no shoes on.
Why? I don't really know! Just to flex on everyone enjoying brunch I suppose.
Ric's daughter Charlotte appears mortified, and wants him to do his planks at the gym, not a diner....
....but that's just the Ric Flair experience at this point, isn't it?
Some of the quote tweets on this had me howling. There were a few suggesting he's training for WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia/trying to get that call, some pointing out how absurd this would be to walk in on, and this one in particular was pretty good....
At what point did this become awkward for everyone in that joint? 30 seconds? One minute? I feel like he hits three minutes and people start looking at each other like, "He's still breathing, right?" Naitch is one of a kind.
