Ric Flair Sues Car Dealership

Ric Flair is suing a car dealership in Columbia, S.C., claiming it is using his name, slogans and likeness in radio and TV ads without his permission.

According to a lawsuit filed in federal court, Freedom Suzuki is using a character named Captain Freedom, who bears a resemblance to Flair and even mentions him by name. The character uses two of Flair's signature slogans - "Woooo!" and "to be the man, you have to beat the man."

According to TMZ.com, the lawsuit goes on to say that the company approached Flair earlier this year about a deal to use his name and likeness in advertising, but an agreement was never reached - and Flair never agreed to have his name or image used.

Flair is now asking for the dealership to pull the ads and is seeking unspecified damages.
