The ongoing tension between Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair just went up a notch, as The Nature Boy recently lashed out at the former WCW President for trying to “make an example” out of him during their time together in WCW.
On his “To Be The Man” podcast, Flair grilled his former WCW boss for his scathing statements on ESPN’s ’30 for 30′ and the upcoming “Woooooo! Becoming Ric Flair” documentaries.
In Flair’s documentary, Bischoff recalls “making an example” out of Flair when the 16-time world champion missed WCW Thunder to take his son to a wrestling tournament.
In response, Flair referred to himself as being “the eighteenth highest paid employee” in WCW and sarcastically said,
“I’ll go so far as to say in the 90s, Ric Flair and the Horsemen were the sh*ts, if that makes him feel better.”
“Hopefully, he can explain to me why a guy that meant nothing to the company, according to him –- had no value [and] was replaced by so many different people … why he chose me to make an example of rather than someone like Scott Steiner or the guys that didn’t go to take drug tests or why guys didn’t show up for our shows. Just why pick me?”
“What purpose did it serve to make an example of me and try to break me for taking my son to the AU nationals for a secondary show called ‘Thunder’ that nobody went to?”
