Ric Flair is very protective of his trademarks.
Flair recently spoke with Chris Van Vliet and talked about the correct way to spell ‘Wooooo’.
“Five o’s. It’s trademarked with five o’s, but I can enforce too.”
Flair then confirmed he sent McDonald’s a cease and desist over a commercial that featured an actor saying the phrase.
Like McDonald’s did one where the guy went ‘Woo!’ We went right to McDonald’s and shut it down, rather than put me in the commercial, or pay me. I don’t know what it cost them to shoot down a commercial that… a minute long commercial has to cost them millions to put together, based on my knowledge of it, especially with the production value.”
The Nature Boy
During a recent appearance on Everyone Talks to Liz Clamon, The Nature Boy shared that he wrote his popular “Rolex-wearing, diamond ring-wearing, kiss stealing, wheeling dealing, limousine riding, jet flying, son of a gun” promo all by himself.
“Everybody hates the bad guy. Everybody hates the truth,” Ric Flair said. “To this day, the line about the ‘Rolex-wearing’… If I am at an event, or a signing, I hear that same line. ‘Say it one time for me.’ People ask me to say that line and turn on their recorders. I laugh because it [the promo] is something I thought of one morning at 9 o’clock after about four cups of coffee. No sleep and being out in Buckhead all night.”
