WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair and Mark Madden host the “Wooooo Nation Uncensored” podcast on a weekly basis. That is until Sunday when Mark Madden announced that he was leaving the show “effective immediately.” Originally, Madden said it was due to his travel schedule. He said,
“I am leaving the @FlairUncensored podcast effective immediately. It’s not a good fit for me, especially scheduling the prep &taping during my jam-packed work week. Thx to @RicFlairNatrBoy & @PodHeat for the opportunity &for understanding.”
Ric Flair would quickly fire back, noting that it was actually him that wound up firing the former WCW announcer. He said,
“Love & Appreciate You @MarkMaddenX, But Actually, I Relieved You Of Your Duties! Best Of Luck With Your Work! I’ll Be Back & Better Than Ever Next Monday! Going Home To My Son In Law @HeyHeyItsConrad!”
Things would quickly escalate from there, with Madden admitting that Ric did in fact fire him and claimed The Nature Boy “didn’t have the balls” to tell him he was being fired. He said,
“Ok. That’s true. And now, soon, I can tell the whole real story. Like how we lost the deal with Podcast One. Love& appreciate you, too, but hey…as long as we’re telling the truth. Truth is always good, right? Watch this space.
And BTW, you didn’t have the balls to tell me you were firing me. You said the podcast was cancelled, period. Your son-in-law had to tell me the truth. Why couldn’t you just let it go? Why couldn’t you just be a friend after 35 years?
Ric one week: “I want the podcast to be current!” Next week: “Who’s Jay White? Never heard of him!” FFS.
Have another drink. God gave you the gift of life a few years back, &you thank him by getting ***t-faced every single night like you are right now. You are the greatest wrestler ever. What you’ve become is sad.”
Flair didn’t take kindly to that and replied with the following,
“Mark, It’s So Sad. You’ve Been Telling Everyone For 30 Years That I’m The Greatest Wrestler Ever. Quit Trying To Get The Rub That Made You Who You Are! Look Forward To Hearing You On The @PatMcAfeeShow, Oh Wait, Sorry, He Cancelled You Too! Just Be Happy & Enjoy Life!
So Sad! I’m Sorry You Feel That Way! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
CONRAD!!!!!!!! See You Soon! @HeyHeyItsConrad”
As of this writing, the two men are continuing to go back-and-forth on Twitter and it gets uglier with each tweet.

Will try to stop& take a deep breath. For now. But all Ric had to do is NOTHING. Doing NOTHING is win-win.
