That viral Ric Flair DM claiming the Nature Boy slid into a model’s inbox and invited her to “ride the space mountain baby” is fake. The screenshot has been making the rounds online, but Ringside News spotted one very Ric Flair-specific mistake that blows the whole thing up.
The fake conversation starts with Flair supposedly opening with, “Hello beautiful! WOOOOO! 👋” The woman answers with a simple “Hi!” before the account posing as Flair keeps going. The fake Flair then writes, “You’re absolutely stunning. Nature Boy always appreciates true beauty. Woooo!” She doesn’t exactly take the bait and responds, “Thanks, but I’m good.”That’s when the screenshot gets even more ridiculous. The account supposedly tells her, “You can ride the space mountain baby.. Oldest Ride Longest Line. WOOOOO! 😎” She shuts that down too with, “Haha I’m all set. Take care!”
It definitely sounds wild enough to make people think Flair could have written it, especially with the WOOOOOs and the Space Mountain reference. There’s just one big problem — whoever made the screenshot forgot how Ric Flair actually types.
Ringside News pointed out that Flair is notorious for capitalizing the first letter of nearly every word in his social media posts. The person behind these supposed DMs wrote everything like a normal sentence, which immediately gave the game away.
That habit has become part of Flair’s online personality at this point. So seeing a supposed private message saying “You can ride the space mountain baby” instead of something closer to “You Can Ride The Space Mountain Baby” was enough to raise a giant red flag.
So no, Ric Flair wasn’t caught sliding into a model’s DMs and offering her a ride on Space Mountain. Somebody leaned hard into the Nature Boy gimmick, packed the screenshot with WOOOOOs and still missed one of the easiest parts of impersonating him. Flair has certainly said plenty of outrageous things over the years, but this viral DM isn’t one of them. One tiny writing habit was all it took to expose the whole thing as fake.
Did the Ric Flair DM fool you at first, or did the capitalization mistake give it away immediately? Let us know what you think in the comments.
