Ric Flair Reveals Why He Left WCW for WWE, Talks Drastic Proposed Change to His WCW Character, More (Video)

ric flairWWE has released the following video highlight from tonight’s Steve Austin Network interview with Ric Flair. During the clip, Flair reveals why he left WCW for WWE after a drastic change to his WCW character was proposed.

Below is a quote from Flair:

“I was tired of [WCW Executive] Jim Herd. I had cut my hair. That caused me more anxiety. He wanted to call me Spartacus. He wanted me to wear a diamond earring and call me Spartacus. Kevin Sullivan said ‘why don’t we change Mickey Mantle’s number, too’? Herd said ‘you don’t understand the business’.”

“The minute I got to WWE, I wasn’t concerned, I had no idea they were gonna make me the Champion. There was no guarantees with [Vince]. He just said ‘I’m gonna make you more money’ and he shook my hand.”
