I'm happy to hear Arn and Ric reconnecting and repairing their friendship. It's just damn unfortunate it had to come from the passing of Barrett. Gone too soon.

[@JesseLeeKing]

Charlotte Flair is the whole reason that I have actually started liking women's wrestling. I used to never use the women wrestlers in WWE 2k and now I'm like wow they are really good and I was missing half of the roster. Not only that but they do some moves not even the guys do. I love how Charlotte made the figured four her own and into the figure eight that's a stroke of genius. I'm also glad she is not hiding her last name which Vince McMahon loves to do. Who would of ever thought that Flairs daughter would take the torch from Rick and not his son...

[@lisabrackett7586]

I love the format of this show. I like watching an hour at a time vs small segments. Great show this week... probably the best and I try to catch them all. Thank you!

[@ricflair]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@ddwchamp]

Charlotte is the most exciting wrestler in the world. She actually brings more offense to the ring than Ric. The Nature boy does have an edge over Charlotte when it comes to promos. Then again, who can match Ric on the stick? Good to see two of the greatest wrestlers talking again.

[@destindude1978]

Oh God I would have died if Ric Flair would have shown up on Cheers I can picture it too, Hey Sam let's get everyone a round but we're putting it on Norm's tab! Wooooo!!! LMAO!🤣

[@michaelrose3101]

Beer Money were a great combination.

[@JesseLeeKing]

The problem with the retirement match is you always want one more. I guess some wrestlers just figure what ever match is there last will be there unofficial retirement match.

[@curtisburgdrof8618]

Wooooo styling and profiling ❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

[@chico1680]

I had never heard that Barry was supposed to feud with Ric in 89 and Terry was the replacement for Windham myself. But, had Barry stayed in the NWA/WCW instead of going to the WWF, it would have made for a great story with great matches with them being the last two remaining Horsemen. Question is does Barry turn face or does Ric?

[@norrisc7163]

Charlotte Flair should be in The Main event

[@AdamSMessinger]

Terry Funk had enough retirement matches for everyone who never got one.

[@pattimiller74]

Go Charlotte!!

[@delbertprince5302]

| love the Jim Crockett promotion….

[@patrickherse2901]

....holy cow we get it.. Charlotte is the best ever..she's the greatest and deserves it all...every podcast. We get it..she's your daughter but geez...does it get old to hear

[@ronmcdonald-z2n]

Why did Rick Flair bring so many horsemen in over the years. because his releationship with wcw caused fricion was guilt by association

[@mattgibson482]

Do you know my 3 ex wifes! No Ric doesn’t have memorabilia

[@curtisburgdrof8618]

😂😂😂😂😂z

[@norrisc7163]

Arn Anderson has been retired for more than 20 years

[@norrisc7163]

Ric Flair son in law Conrad Thompson

[@erictate5135]

How come ric flair was not in the wwe 2k23 game this year

[@michaelrose3101]

This is bordering on ridiculous. I think Charlotte is fantastic and an absolute standout talent. BUT when you have dad and dads son in law, constantly pumping her up to the public it's a little bit off putting. Showing my age but there used to be a tv show many years ago named Family Affair.

[@handsomelee9568]

Why would they not build her up. It's blood! Anyone who doesn't understand that maybe didn't get enough love from family. I hate to be a jerk to you Michael but if my sister was a female wrestler and I had a wrestling podcast guess what. My sister is the best in the world. How big of a jerk would he be if Ric said oh no my daughter isn't the best___________ is the best. You would be on here saying that he is a bad father.

[@michaelrose3101]

@Handsome Lee Nepotism in an public forum too regularly by someone famous isn't really humble, then again it's wrestling. Just my opinion.

[@handsomelee9568]

@@michaelrose3101 correct it's a wrestling podcast that Conrad owns lol. I do respect your opinion but no one can convince me that they wouldn't do the same if it was their family

[@handsomelee9568]

@@michaelrose3101 when it comes to family there's no such thing as humble you build your family up you love your family you want the best for your family you want them to be the best at whatever they decide to do and you want to be their number one fan that's the reality of life

[@michaelrose3101]

@Handsome Lee l am a family man, I am not famous, but no I would not push my children constantly. I personally would say l know how good he or she is, and leave it up to you Joe Public. Thanks for your opinion. 👍

[@mikerivera870]

No she isn't

[@1fridays]

Charlotte is not better than AJ styles. Get over the comment that she is the best worker.

[@50farmers]

I'm so old I can remember when Ric Flair podcasts were fun and entertaining. Now it's just the Ric Flair pity party/woe is me hour. Arn's kid dies and it comes back to how that effects Ric Flair followed by a story about how someone did Ric Flair wrong in the 80s. It's kind of pathetic and disgusting, or maybe it's that bearded hog son-in-law bootlicking all the time that rubs me the wrong way.

[@handsomelee9568]

Then why do you watch? It's the RIC FLAIR podcast and he was asked a question. Clearly you don't like him so why are you here? It's sad that your life is so dead that to get attention you come to a site to view a podcast of someone you don't like JUST to get attention on yourself but you say Ric is woe is me lol brother get lost lol

[@curtisburgdrof8618]

I'll think Arn Anderson should retirement match

[@ericstrickland2812]

Flair has brain damage. It’s sad to watch. And annoying the way he smacks his lips
