CarShield commercials are in heavy rotation, and Ric Flair is front and center. However, PWInsider are reporting that their commercial campaign featuring the wrestling legend has been paused due to the “Plane Ride from Hell” controversy.

A spokesperson for InterMedia, the advertising agency that handles Car Shield’s commercials, issued the following statement on the controversy:

“We take these matters very seriously. As of right now, we are pausing the campaign and we will do our due diligence.”

We’ll have to see if Car Shield brings the commercials back. At this point it is clear that they don’t want Flair representing their company, at least for the time being. It was noted that the commercial will soon disappear from TV pending an additional investigation and decisions.

Flair has denied the allegations in the past, and a settlement was reached between the plaintiffs and WWE.
