Ric Flair Warns of Legal Action Over FLAIR Trademark by Monday
ric flair says someone he knows is using his trademark FLAIR, and he is putting a Monday deadline on a fix. In a post on May 29, 2026, the WWE Hall of Famer said he is already represented by a $1,000-per-hour attorney who makes a living suing people who abuse his trademark.
“Unfortunately, there is someone that I’m very familiar with using my own trademark FLAIR. I would like anyone who is using my trademarks—which are impossible to own, and I own mine—to know that I’m well represented by a reputable $1,000-per-hour attorney that makes a living suing people who abuse my trademark. You know who I’m talking about. I hope you can clear this up by Monday, and if we can’t resolve this issue, read the penalties,” Flair wrote.
Monday puts the clock on
That deadline gives the post real bite. Flair did not frame this as a vague grievance; he set a specific cutoff and tied it to legal consequences, which turns a trademark complaint into a near-term business risk for whoever is on the other side of it.
Flair followed with a second message the same day, saying, “The relationship was gone nine years ago. I’m sorry and sad that it has come to this. I’ve tried my best to fix things over the years, only to be rejected because your wife runs your life.” The personal language points to a dispute that has been building for years, not something that started with one post.
Trademark fights and Flair
Flair has been in legal battles before, including a dispute with WWE over The Man trademark. That history makes this latest warning easier to read as part of a broader effort to protect the name and brand attached to his wrestling identity, not just a one-off social media blast.
The practical takeaway is simple: anyone using FLAIR now has a Monday clock running against them, and Flair is signaling that he is prepared to push the issue into a legal fight if the matter is not cleared up. For a name built into his public identity, the next move is not about public opinion; it is about who can keep using the mark and who is ready to defend it.
