Ric Flair made an appearance on Dan Le Batard's ESPN Radio show on Thursday, and in between telling a bunch of other wild stories, the 67-year-old self-proclaimed "wheelin' 'n' 'dealin' son of a gun" relayed a story about the time he cheated death by inadvertently deflecting a lightning bolt with an umbrella. The story is kind of hard to believe, but let's enjoy Flair telling it anyway:
Flair also said he had no idea how he was still alive. "I've always wondered what kind of a lawsuit that was, because it was really a big deal," he said, "hence probably the steel tips coming off umbrellas at that point."
Like that story about him having sex with Halle Berry, it's hard to tell if this is actually true or not. However, to his credit,it's not the first time he's brought it up, though before he said it happened in 1981 (skip to the 3:15 mark in the video below):
