I wooooo! Ric Flair’s daughter Ashley walks that aisle
Ashley Fliehr, the daughter of legendary wrestler Ric Flair, was married Sunday to Riki Johnson (no relation to Rocky and Dwayne Johnson) in North Carolina.
The couple made headlines along with the Nature Boy in Chapel Hill in September 2008 following a drunken brawl in which Ashley teamed with Riki to allegedly assaulted her famous father. Police officers arrived on the scene to find Flair, Ashley Fliehr and Riki in a shmaz.
Neighbors claimed the three were involved in a fight that left the 16-time World champion bloodied and bruised. Flair admitted fighting Riki but declined to file charges in the case, but his daughter was arrested after kicking an officer. Reportedly, Chapel Hill Police were forced to use a stun gun to subdue Ashley. (Frankly, this had Vince Russo written all over it.)
The Nature Girl was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and delaying or obstructing a public official, according to a police report. (Ashley’s mug shot was quite possibly the most flattering I’ve ever seen-better than most headshots I’ve seen in Los Angeles…couldn’t ask for a better picture.)
In the end, Ashley pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 45 days in jail, which was suspended to supervised probation and a $200 fine. A charge of assaulting an officer was dismissed as part of a plea deal.
Much like Flair and longtime hated rival Ricky Steamboat mended fences in the Carolinas so many years ago, Naitch and Riki clearly put the incident behind them as Ric was on hand stylin’ and profilin’ at the ceremony. I cannot confirm if Hulk Hogan showed up unannounced to shove Flair’s face into the wedding cake; however, I have it on good authority that the Nature Boy managed to keep his clothes on for the duration of the reception. (During an awkward moment, Flair apparently felt the best man’s speech was dragging, prompting Naitch to scream, “You keep you mouth shut, fat boy!”)
Ashley was a star volleyball player in high school, leading her team to two state titles. She played volleyball at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C., graduating in spring 2008.
