WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair addressed his split with his ex-wife Wendy during this week’s “WOOOO Nation” podcast. Flair stated that not one person called him from WWE regarding the split.
“She did that for like nine straight years, and she just got tired of it, and I and I get it. But what killed me is that Charles Barkley, Darius Rucker, Kid Rock, can call me and say, ‘Is everything cool?’, which they have, and I go, ‘Yeah, everything’s great.’ Life changes and goes in different directions. Not one person from WWE called.”
“The most insensitive company in the world, people that I’ve given my life to, and they’ve given me a lot of theirs. None. So you see how it goes. When you’re not there, they don’t care.”
“I don’t resent them for it, but I noticed. I know who reached out to me and who reached out to her who didn’t. So if you’re that insensitive, shame on you.”
Flair clarified that there were people from wrestling who did reach out, just not from WWE or AEW.
“Oh, yeah. Yeah. I’m just saying, neither company,” Flair shared. “Executives have, but I’m talking about my wrestling friends. It’s wrestling. And that’s why the lessons that should be learned is that when you are so wrapped up in your life as I was, now I look back on my career and I say,’ Well, you know what? I don’t feel so bad because I wasn’t around either.’ It’s a full time job being a wrestler.”
