Ric Flair will be appearing at the Magic Monikers 2 autograph show in Secaucus, NJ, tomorrow as he's reported agreed to fly in tomorrow morning after travel arrangements were made.
Elaine Gillespie, who handles Flair's bookings, had released earlier today that Flair wasn't going to be attending because of an unfulfilled obligation by the promoter. Gillespie has demanded all money paid in advance for autograph shows for any of her clients, as opposed to the usual industry standard of half up front.
It's unclear what the exact problem was, but one of the problems was that the promoters wanted Flair to sign autographed merchandise for those who had made requests through the mail and Gillespie said the deal was only to sign autographs for those appearing and signing more autographs would be a different price.
According to those involved with the signing, people close to Flair, including Hulk Hogan, who is appearing there, talked with him and convinced him to come.
