Well we didn't see this one coming: The wife of professional wrestling legend Ric Flair has been arrested for domestic violence, TV Guide is reporting, claiming Flair suffered minor injuries at the hands of Jacqueline Bains Beems after the two had "an unfortunate disagreement." While we'd certainly never make light of a domestic violence situation, we will note that Flair's catch phrase was "to be the man, you've got to beat the man." Apparently, it seems Bains Beems took that a bit too literally.Ric Flair's Wife Arrested for Domestic Violence

Well we didn't see this one coming: The wife of professional wrestling legend Ric Flair has been arrested for domestic violence, TV Guide is reporting, claiming Flair suffered minor injuries at the hands of Jacqueline Bains Beems after the two had "an unfortunate disagreement." While we'd certainly never make light of a domestic violence situation, we will note that Flair's catch phrase was "to be the man, you've got to beat the man." Apparently, it seems Bains Beems took that a bit too literally.According to Flair's agent, Melinda Morris Zanoni, "Ric and his wife had an unfortunate disagreement [Sunday], which led to his wife being arrested and charged with assault."
Flair and Bains Beems married in November, marking the fourth marriage for the white-locked entertainer.Morris Zanoni went on to say that "Ric has done nothing wrong,' and that the wrestling pro "finds this incident unsettling and is committed to correcting any issues in his personal life."
But fear not, wrestling fans! Ric's agent says that despite the incident, "the important thing to remember here is that we have some very exciting professional announcements in the near future." Woooo!

if a women hits a man she deserves to be hit by a man
FIGURE - FOUR , BEEYATCH !!! WOOOOO !!!!
Dani, you have it wrong. A LADY never hits. And once she does she CEASES to be a lady and that guy who was just assaulted has the right to knock her out. No one is putting their hands on me, including a female. What woman agrees their son, father, nephew, grandson deserves to be assaulted and just sit there and take it? Men, call the police and have them arrested for felony assault. Make sure they have a record. Their life will be hell from this point forward trying to get a job, secure a passport, traveling abroad, find a place to live, etc. Believe me, they'll learn to keep their hands to themselves!
To the people responding to Dani saying it's right to hit a woman if she hits you 1st, Thats stupid. You must remember most men are stronger and tougher than a woman and most of the time we deserve it so refrain yourself and walk away, Sissy Boy.
Steven,
This is where you have it wrong. A woman, lady, whatever hits a man. He hits her back, her story changes that he went after her and she hit him in self defense. HE goes to jail, not her.
As a female I have to say bologna. Men and women BOTH should not put their hands on one another. If I put myself in the place of a man, I should be treated like one. That is part of the problem in this country many women seem to think we have the right to hit a man but he fights us back he goes to jail. It is hypocrisy at the highest level. Please grow up.
Dani, you are correct...i have been arrested twice for do/assault..never laid a hand on her..she starts a fight, I get mad she calls cops and tells her HER side...I go to jail. That simple. The only way to win is to get out of the relationship.
There is no excuse for violence in a relationship regardless of who initiates it, the woman or the man. Violence begets violence. Don't forget that conflict in a relationship (regardless of gender) is a kind of dance, a flow of give and take that can actually result in a stronger bond if only you are willing to talk out the issues between you, not act them out. If your women are angry to the point of doing you bodily harm, take a look at yourselves. What are you doing to contribute to her rage or discontent? I would ask the same of women who feel the need to behave in aggressive ways toward their men. If nothing else, think of the consequences before you raise your fists. Someone could be badly hurt, or worse. Think of the the consequences. Families could be torn apart. Children could be without parents. Think of the consequences. Always think before you act. If you are feeling unsafe, seek protection. Leave the situation. Get professional help. It's not about ego or being the master or mistress of your domain. If things are out of control admit it and do something about it before something even worse happens.

He should've never taught her the step-over toe hold.
Wow, are those two pictures of the same wife? She looks rough in the second picture.

I too applaud Rick for doing the right thing in calling the proper authorities.He had to show great restraint in not hitting her.It's too bad that society thinks that men are less of a man when he chooses to be a real man and do the right!!!

You,sir,are a moron
She may be violent, but this is the perfect ploy if this man wants to hurt her in the future. He could say she initiated the fight. If this is true, then they should be 'forced' to get a divorce. It should be a law that if a man or woman hurt each other, they should have to be divorced. Would save justice system time, police enforcement, and a myriad of other taxpayer dollars.

Are you serious? Maybe you wouldn't mind giving up your Constitutional rights and told how to live your life, but the rest of us would shoot anyone who tried to encroach on our rights. What a moron you are.
WOW What country do you live in? Forced to get a divorce? lmao
Havent you heard of the song "YOU ALWAYS HURT THE ONE YOU LOVE"?Rick could let her hit him all day and not feel any pain.If he hit her once,she would probably be dead.

You are mentaly retarded in an extreme manor you idiot!"
"In an extreme manor" ? Would this be one that is, perhaps, painted in garish colors ? Or one that is outlandishly large ? Or just one in which everything is over-the-top in every way ? Or should we take you literally and assume it is one which has been converted to a care facility for the insane ?
