Former WWE commentator Hugo Savinovich recently revealed if WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was generous with his money when he wrestled in the Dominican Republic.
Ric Flair gave a huge tip in a restaurant
Savinovich, who is a former member of WWE’s Spanish language announce team, was given the responsibility of looking after Flair during his trip. ‘The Nature Boy’ famously lived a lavish lifestyle throughout his career and often partied after shows.
In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Riju Dasgupta, Savinovich said Flair once gave someone in the Dominican Republic a huge tip:
“This was the first guy in my life in the wrestling industry that I saw give a five hundred dollar tip. That was the man. I was in charge of bringing him to the Dominican Republic and prove that Dominican Republic could be the place to get all these beautiful talent in, and Flair went in with the condition that I would be next to him in the business transaction.”
Savinovich also revealed that he and Flair enjoyed partying together:
“He got like seven or eight thousand dollars. They were not all hundred dollar bills. They were like 20, 50. It was like this [big stack of cash], but he had close to eight thousand dollars for his match there, and then the promoters gave me the equivalent to one thousand dollars to take Flair out on a party. And if you asked Flair today, he will still tell you that Hugo Savinovich made him have one of the best nights in his whole life.”
