Darius Rucker Recalls Buying One Of Ric Flair's Robes

Darius Rucker, who is the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, recently spoke with Coop at the CMA awards and talked about having purchased one of Ric Flair's authentic robes from back in his wrestling career.

“Yes! I do own one of Ric Flair’s robes. I’ll never forget this, it was at the Jimmy V [Valvano] Foundation, the cancer foundation — it was at their big party and auction. I’ll never forget, I walked in and I saw the Ric Flair robe and I turned to the Hootie boys and I said, ‘I don’t care what this costs me, I’m walking out of here with that.’ It cost me a lot of money… a LOT of money, but it was worth every penny… Right now, it’s in my closet, but I’m building a new house and so when I do that, I’m going to put it in a big display case and make it the center of my Man Cave. He’s the greatest of all time."

Flair and Rucker have hung out in the past. Here's a tweet from the Nature Boy from a time they met up in 2017.
