The Ric Flair vs. Hannibal war is getting nastier — and now Devon “Hannibal” Nicholson is firing back with numbers, court documents, and some brutal personal shots.

After Ric Flair mocked Hannibal on Twitter, accusing him of being irrelevant and claiming he had “2,000 followers,” Hannibal hit back hard on his YouTube channel, dragging Flair for lying, exaggerating, and deflecting from his own controversies.

“I have 510,000 subscribers on YouTube and 294.2 million views. Ric Flair’s channel has a total of about 35,000 views and only 186,000 subscribers — so, not too good compared to mine. But for some reason he did a post saying I only have 2,000 followers. So how do you get 2,000 from 509,000?”

He also revealed that his Facebook reach alone pulled in nearly 14 million views in the last month — and questioned why Flair, with decades on TV, can’t match those numbers.

“By the way, in the last month, I’ve had almost 14 million views on Facebook alone. But Flair, being the compulsive liar he is, is making fun of me for apparently having 2,000 followers, even though he’s been on TV for decades and I have more followers on YouTube than him.”

Hannibal then got personal, addressing Flair’s jab about never making it to WWE — and he brought receipts. According to Hannibal, he did have a WWE contract, but lost it after contracting Hepatitis C from Abdullah the Butcher, who was found guilty in court.

“I had a WWE contract. They took it away due to Abdullah the Butcher… He passed me Hepatitis C. You can look at it right here — this is the court order finding Abdullah the Butcher guilty of passing me Hepatitis C.”

He explained WWE settled with him over the issue and planned to give him another shot in 2016, but backed out, labeling him “damaged goods.”

“They later settled with me because you can’t release people for that reason. There was an undisclosed settlement, and I went on to beat Abdullah, as I just posted, in Canada and the U.S. They were going to give me a tryout again in 2016, but they canceled it because I was ‘damaged goods.’”

And when it came to Ric Flair’s credibility, Hannibal did not hold back — especially over Flair’s now-debunked comment that Hulk Hogan died from street drugs.

“Why did he have to lie about Hogan? His supposed good friend Hulk Hogan. He’s such a good friend that he makes up a story saying Hogan died because he took street drugs.”

He then took aim at Flair’s personal life, bringing up his family tragedies and history with women in a brutal final rant as he called the Nature Boy a disgrace for his actions.

“He is a disgrace. He is a freaking disgrace. I mean, if you’ve had four wives and you’ve had sex with 10,000 women, you’re a disgrace just for being unfaithful. And then you wonder why your stepson’s dead and your son died of a heroin overdose. Man… get your own life in order before you start taking shots at me.”

So far, Flair hasn’t responded to Hannibal — but after this public dragging, the ball is clearly in Ric’s court. Will Flair fire back, or will this feud quietly die down? One thing’s for sure — Hannibal isn’t backing off, and he’s making it personal.
