Bar employees told The Indianapolis Star and TMZ the incident happened Sunday at The Deck at the Gas House.

A bar patron also sent a video of the incident to Pro Wrestling Sheet, according to the wrestling news outlet.

In the video, the 68-year-old "Nature Boy" was sitting at the bar when a bartender came over to pour him a drink. He appeared to became upset after the employee started to pour a second drink into the glass he previously drank from.

In the short video, which includes explicit language, Flair is seen and heard telling the bartender to "lose some weight." He is then asked to leave. Pro Wrestling Sheet also reported Flair threatened to have the bartender fired. Flair's fiancé was also at the bar.

This isn't the first time Flair has been in trouble during his 40-year career and 16-time world championship run. The Indianapolis Star detailed Flair's history of incidents, including: sexual assault allegations in 2004, charges of injury to personal property and simple assault and battery following a road rage incident in 2005, arrest for a fight with his daughter's boyfriend in 2008 in Chapel Hill, N.C., and contempt of court in 2011.
