Ric Flair dropped a new post on September 9, 2026 — but this time, the message itself wasn’t the part that immediately stood out. It was the way The Nature Boy wrote it.
Flair took to Twitter to publicly apologize to Hurricane IT Solutions and his friend Tyler Disney after missing the company’s Cigars and Connections event due to a scheduling conflict. Flair explained that another commitment took him to New York during the exact window of the event.
“I want to take a moment to publicly apologize to the Hurricane IT Solutions team and to a good friend of mine Tyler Disney for missing Cigars and Connections this past week.”
He then explained why he couldn’t make the appearance and promised there would still be business between them down the road.
“Unfortunately, I had a scheduling conflict I couldn’t avoid. An overlapping commitment took me to New York during the exact window of the event. It wasn’t for lack of wanting to be there. Hurricane IT has built something I’m proud to be part of! We will do business soon!”
Pretty straightforward apology — except there was one very un-Ric-Flair thing about it. The entire post was written with normal capitalization. That might sound like absolutely nothing until you’ve followed Flair on social media for basically any amount of time. Flair has become notorious for capitalizing the first letter every word in his posts, a writing style so consistent over the years that fans can usually recognize one of his tweets before even checking the username.
This post looked completely different. That naturally raises the question of whether Flair has finally handed more control of his social media accounts to somebody else, especially after the amount of attention and backlash some of his recent online posts have generated.
There’s no confirmation that someone new is running Flair’s account, and one differently formatted post isn’t enough to prove anything. Flair could have written it differently himself, dictated it to somebody, or simply had help putting together this particular statement. Still, when somebody has typed “Like This For Years” and suddenly posts a polished statement with completely normal capitalization, people are going to notice.
Do you think Ric Flair finally has someone else handling his social media posts, or was this just a one-off change in formatting? Let us know what you think in the comments.
