Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, the credit crisis has finally claimed another innocent victim. Mortgage and consumer-loan specialist Ric Flair has shuttered his fledgling operation, Ric Flair Finance ("Home of the figure-4process!"), despite what we're told were steller results.
I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I mean, this comes as quite the shock. We haven't been able to find out what, exactly, Ric Flair Finance actually did (origination maybe?), or what role they played in exacerbating the housing crisis thats swept across the nation, but we're deeply saddened that the company is nevermore, regardless.
In memoriam, Ric Flair Finance (Wooooo!?)
To be the man... you've got to beat the man... and I am the man... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
If we go by Ric Flair's logic, that leaves... ummm, not sure who as the man.

Wait, you're telling me that this was a real company, and not an elaborate Dealbreaker.com in-joke?

@ Lee
RFF (as it was known) was as real as you wanted it to be. It was magical like that! Unfortunately, Flair stopped believing in the magic, and the dream faded away, almost as quickly as it had appeared...

What's next? The end of Tully Blanchard Enterprises or no more hard money lending by the Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase?

@Anal - WTF. Saturday mornings for me didn't involve Fox BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FOX NETWORK.
ABC Schoolhouse Rock for me...

So now who am I supposed to mail my mortgage payments to? I'm so lost...

Imagine if Rick Flair foreclosed on your ass? He comes over and kicks your ass out of your house because you haven't paid your mortgage..
