Following Ric Flair’s speech at the WWE Hall of Fame last Friday, reports suggested that company higher-ups were not too happy with some of the words the Nature Boy used. Now, one week on, the legendary performer has had his say on the matter.
Inducting The Great Muta
Flair was invited to the induction ceremony last week to enshrine The Great Muta into the Hall of Fame. The Japanese star ended his 39-year wrestling career at the start of 2023.
To Be The Man Podcast
Speaking on his To Be The Man podcast, Flair questioned why some individuals, whether they be part of WWE or not, were angry with his speech. “I don’t know what they didn’t like about it. You have to remember that 99% of the people in attendance in that building don’t even know who Muta is. Does it make sense? They haven’t performed [against him], well the wrestling people do but I’m saying the audience.” Flair then revealed that nobody from WWE directly told him that they were upset with him after his speech.
Charlotte Flair Loss at WrestleMania 39
WrestleMania 39 this past weekend was not a good one for the Flair family as Ric’s daughter Charlotte lost her SmackDown Women’s Championship to Rhea Ripley. Despite the fact that she lost her championship last Saturday, The Queen seems to be in great spirits as she celebrated her birthday earlier this week. The former SmackDown Women’s Champion took to social media as she thanked her fans for their birthday wishes and told her supporters that she still has plenty still to prove both in the ring and away from it.
Throughout her career, Charlotte has established herself as one of the greatest of all time, from being one of the first women to main event WrestleMania, to winning 14 World Championships as well as the Royal Rumble match in 2020.
