Ric Flair: Scratch! Sniff?

Great news keeps on rolling into the state of the art Sexy Action newsroom occupied by Arabian Facebuster's Sexy Action I-Team. First up, the clip of Stan Hansen's systematic dissection and evisceration of jobber Don Herbert has been restored! Then, to my delight, I stumbled across that clip of the Fantastics thumbing it shirtless and partying with a pigeon of unscrupulous repute and reposted it here.

And now this indisputably newsworthy item from the Ground Zero of Confederate Flag flying and/or waving has just broken across the intertubes. Article copied and pasted without expressed, written permission. Lime green ext color selected in order to match this stunner:

S.C. lottery tag-teams with Flair

Former professional wrestling champion Ric Flair will be the subject of a $5 scratch-off ticket, starting Monday, according to representatives of Flair and of the South Carolina lottery.

This is not a first for Flair.

Flair’s photo -- and his trademark “Woooooo!” yell -- were pictured on a $5 scratch-off lottery ticket last fall in North Carolina. A representative for Flair said the tickets were among the state’s best-selling lottery items. The ticket sale was accompanied by television commercials featuring Flair.

Paula Harper Bethea, executive director of the South Carolina Education Lottery, said Flair will help promote the ticket sales in the Palmetto State, too.

“We look forward to hosting Ric Flair in South Carolina at various events and anticipate an increase in ticket sales to generate more funds for education,” Bethea said.

She said he is scheduled to appear on behalf of the lottery on May 8 at NASCAR’s Southern 500 race in Darlington; and June 5 at the Sun Fun Festival in Myrtle Beach.
