Ric Flair has weighed in on what went down last week on WWE SmackDown between Tiffany Stratton and his daughter Charlotte Flair.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was a recent guest on Busted Open Radio. When asked about last week’s controversial SmackDown segment between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton, Flair said he had an opinion but he doesn’t want to voice it because the entire situation is very sensitive.
“Well, I have an opinion, but I don’t want to voice it,” Ric Flair began. “I can just say this. It’s, I don’t know, it’s very sensitive. I didn’t like it, but wrestling is wrestling, and Undertaker said it best, the Queen came back and regained her crown.”
When asked if he knew of a conversation beforehand backstage to make sure both sides were comfortable with the promo, Flair said doesn’t know but assumes no conversation took place.
“I don’t know the answer to that,” Ric Flair said. “I would assume that there was no discussion of that before, but I don’t have any idea, guys. I’m not privileged to know that. But I would imagine that they probably didn’t discuss that. Who knows. Nobody gets that wrestling is a tough business, and it’s very personal. Things are handled a lot differently backstage now than they were in the 70s and 80s.”
