Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair was recently a guest on “Busted Open Radio” to talk about several professional wrestling topics. Flair discussed his recent YouTube videos in which he took shots at Shawn Michaels, making the decision to make the videos after his most recent surgery, and his health scares.

Here are the highlights:

His health scares: “I came so close to dying in ’17, I don’t think people understand,” explained Flair. “I had a 20 percent chance to live, I was septic, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, on and on. I decided this time when I woke up, I got nothing to lose.

“I’m not going to drink two beers and have an anxiety attack. The first time I drank beer (after the health scare) was at my wedding, and the two or three beers I had, and a glass of champagne, the anxiety was so bad, it wasn’t worth drinking.”

Making his energized video after surgery because he was losing out on business opportunities: “I just said, ‘Hell, I’m going to say what I think and what I feel,’ exclaimed Flair. “I had to rest for two days after I made that video. I was just making a point because I was losing business opportunities, people were thinking maybe he isn’t going to come around. So, I had to do something to show some energy, just wanted to be energized and show people I still had it.”

Why he made his YouTube video calling out Shawn Michaels: “What I said was because he hurt my feelings, I was not questioning who he is,” said Flair. “I called up Jim Ross (for JR’s comments in the documentary) and cussed him out, but Jim was telling the truth. When you open yourself up (like he did) in that 30 for 30, you take the good with the bad.

“I didn’t like what my own kids said about me. Anyone who knows me knows, if I have it in my pocket, it’s theirs. I can assure you they all lived great lives. Was I there? No. It was a tough schedule and it is now. But you cannot even compare it to not coming home for three months.”
