WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam has taken exception to Ric Flair accusing him of trying to ruin his reputation. The Nature boy had enjoyed a resurgence within WWE earlier this year but it's all come crashing down in spectacular fashion in the wake of his getting released by the promotion in August and then becoming the name on everyone's lips in recent times, and not in a good way.

The latest episode of Dark Side of the Ring bore some startling revelations, with former flight attendant Heidi Doyle making claims of being sexually harassed by the 16-time World Champion in 2002 during what's described as The Plane Ride From Hell.

The fallout has come swiftly, with Tommy Dreamer getting suspended indefinitely by Impact Wrestling for comments that seemed to defend Ric's actions. Flair himself has been removed from WWE's opening video package and replaced by The Ultimate Warrior.

Meanwhile, Flair and RVD have gotten into a Twitter exchange of shorts - it wasn't direct - given that the latter was one of the persons who described the events of the infamous flight. Flair was less than pleased over what he reckons is RVD trying to destroy his reputation based on an assumption.

"A Man Tried To Destroy My Reputation Based On An Assumption. I Don’t Even Know What To Say Right Now," he tweeted this week.

RVD has been getting into it with fans and has sent a warning to Flair, telling the wrestling icon to meet him outside.

"Tell him Meet me outside Weird Dude Wes. Join him," the former WWE and TNA wrestler tweeted in response to a fan who suggested he didn't have the stones to stand up to Flair.

For Clarification Sake

Flair has categorically denied the accusations and has made two statements since the episode aired, despite advice urging him not to say anything.

Van Dam has also clarified his comments with claims he didn't actually see Flair's privates during the incident in question.

“Just watched DSOTR. Heavy,” he wrote on Twitter. “Some insight for those who can handle it- 1) I haven’t seen Ric Flair’s d**k. My comment about fans shouldn’t see him doing the helicopter was a response to DSOTR telling me that’s what they were told. They shouldn’t. I don’t want to see it either.”

“2) I said ‘trying to make her touch him’ referring to his body crowding her space and her backing up like bad breath was in her face. I thought maybe they were playing (from seeing a similar scene at the hotel bar) but I wasn’t interested in naked Ric. Still ain’t. I tried to sleep.”
