Source: WOOOOOO! Nation with Ric Flair
Stone Cold Steve Austin was special guest on WOOOOO Nation Podcast with Ric Flair and they discussed Flair’s record of 16 world championship reigns. Steve Austin says Flair’s streak will always have a special meaning to professional wrestling fans, even if John Cena goes on to break that record.
Austin claimed that Vince McMahon will do something to distinguish the accomplishment, even if Cena breaks the record and claimed Vince will make up something that if Cena gets to 17, John’s titles were all WWE and Ric’s place is still special,” given that eight of the titles were from NWA. Austin continued, “so with all due respect to John Cena, if he was to get to 17 and they eclipse your number 16, does it mean the same in a guy’s book like mine, It’s not even the same ballpark.”
Ric Flair then followed with “I don’t care. I don’t think about it,” Flair said. “I don’t have any belts hanging in my room. I’m lucky. I have more fun than anybody alive. That I know for sure.”
Steve Austin also claimed that McMahon maintains logbooks of important WWE records.
“I won three Royal Rumbles and no one has surpassed that yet and that’s only three Royal Rumbles,” Austin said. “For some reason, Vince has all this logged down in these books – he’s very meticulous about how he protects certain things, so it will be very interesting.”
