The teenage son of pro wrestler Ric Flair was charged with simple assault after a wrestling mat confrontation in which his mother said he was defending his father's reputation.
The misdemeanor charge stems from a heated match at a state regional wrestling competition in February between Colby Harden and Reid Fliehr, both 17 and competing in the 189-pound weight class for the state's largest high schools.
Colby, who won in overtime, jumped up and mocked the theatrical shuffle Ric Flair commonly performs in the ring.

That's a big kid as a high school wrestler.

Well in order "to be the man, you got to beat the man"
Flair beat the kid up for mocking him, his dad and his whole family.
I don't know, if someone mocked my dad after a match I played by the rules with, I might consider handing them their head to. Especially if still a minor.
I'm sure Oly, Arn, and Tully will straighten the young man out.
I tend to agree. The guy did something completely without class and got his butt kicked for it. I don't see that any further action is required.
I don't blame the kid for kicking some butt when he was made fun of/mocked in front of the public.
The one kid taunted and embarrassed him in front of everyone and even mane gyrations mocking his dad.
If this guy called Reid a homosexual and made all these movements, he'd be out of school and even if attacked, they'd be on Flair's side.
Same issue, but over the kids parent being famous and the kid who got knocked out gets a big pass and Flair gets into trouble. Bullhocky.
Unless it's going to be in a wrestling rematch on PPV. :-)
Who do you think lost the match
Cobly won, and has every right to celebrate is win in manner he sees fit
The only one at fault in this is Reid. He had already been warned of unsportsmanlike conduct for pushing Colby into the judges table because Colby scored a point against him
Colby is a super person and I have know him all his life and he has never been violent or disrespectful in in any manner.
Before making comments, get the real facts, don't read a bias media account.
Reid did not play by the rules,
Colby did
Colby won
Reid was the one who did not act appropriate
He (Reid) is the bad guy, not Colby.
Colby was acting like a spoiled turd. He asked for a reaction and I'd say he got one. He basically got what he wanted.
That's his real name.
Your comments shed a different light on the incident. Thank you.
Though you do not deny the fight took place. I'd have to say both athlete's behaved poorly after that particular match.
Flair's kid was taunted after a match was concluded.
The referees did not stop the kid from taunting his opponent and allowed it to continue.
I would have taken the kids head off at that age and I approve of Rick Flair's son doing that 100%.
If you want blame, look to the parents of the kid who won the match. They raised such a miserable child, that he had to gloat and taunt the person he already had the victory over.
IMO, Flair's kid should sue the hell out of the school for the refs allowing that to happen.
Flair's kid didn't just attack. He was provoked in the most outrageous and embarrassing manner in front of a large crowd.
The kid that started the problem with the taunting should be banned for a year IMO.
