4-step.pngThe brightest news in the credit markets today isn’t the potential cracks in the wall against credit for the big private equity buyouts. It’s the launch of a new financing agency, which is offering home loans, auto loans, and loan loans. As we say in poker tournaments, a new power is heard from.
The latest, uhm, entrant into the ring where lenders do battle promises it will “compete so you don’t have to”and employ its “figure-4 process” to pin high-interest loan down to the mat. And, once thing is for certain, it’s got flair.
Ric Flair that is. The flamboyant professional wrestler recently announced that he is starting Ric Flair Finance. The website is adorned with pictures of Flair dressed in gaudy wrestling robes, sporting a shock of beached blonde hair. It promises “With Ric in your corner, you’re sure to win!”

    This is same thing as Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs, just with a little more flash & dash.

    Well, it looks like they won’t be outsourcing the collections process.

    Lee, that is funny, can you imagine a sub prime borrower getting held above his head and tossed on the mat, then taking an elbow to the head for being 90 days late. Hold on maybe this is a good idea for a finance company.

    Best quote:
    Wrestling commentator Jim Ross once said, “if wrestling can be considered an art form, then Rick Flair is using oils and the many others merely watercolors”

    A year ago Ric Flair was all-but broke due to poor financial decisions and a nasty divorce from his ex-wife, and continued to perform to pay off his debts. It only makes sense he would open up a finance company.

    I wonder if it is a scam. They want you to fill out a form with your SSN and all your personal details…
    Although I guess if you’re going to Ric Flair Finance to get a mortgage on your trailer you may fall for that.

    View the source code on the form… It goes to

    KeyBank can’t be happy someone is using that name for a mom and pop mortgage company in dirty south S.C.
