Flair is a coward- he berated a small guy behind the bar on his latest videoed tirade. Flair says step outside, guy says he is at work and can't. Guy at the bar says "I'll step outside, I don't work here". Flair sees the guy is normal sized and backs down.

That might be accurate because, I'm old enough to tell when people DO change while being around with others. Their demeanor change as if you're being dealing with someone who is completely stranger to you. The very same people would start acting friendly when there's no one around. I would call it an ego drive, almost like a manipulation.

I have met Stevie and Meanie so many damn times, they are both super nice and friendly. Meanie is funny as hell. There was about a month maybe a month and a half I ran into him almost every day in the same stores. ( we are all from the same neighborhood)

[@wwfchriswwf]

Stevie is one of the few men I would pay to teach me to wrestle. Extremely kind person and super knowledgeable.

[@bdr113080]

I’ve met Kevin Nash , a handful of times. he’s always been super nice and super cool not just to me but everyone like there are some wrestlers like I’m from the Carolinas and we have all of these wrestling events in the fall because that’s when Starrcade originally would happen. Like WrestleCade , and other events where NWA/WCW wrestlers come back to the Carolinas, and he always has one of the longest lines and I’ve seen other wrestlers at these events basically signed something take a picture and pretty much push the fans out so they can just get through their line. Kevin will sit there and talk to you. I remember one time we were talking and I started feeling bad because I knew there was about 200 people behind me so I just up with him and told him thank you but we talked for like seven minutes and he talked for about five minutes with the guy ahead of me. He is very appreciative of his fans.

[@ShaneHinchy23]

It's nice to hear all the stories behind the scenes. I genuinely feel like Stevie is a guy id have got one with if had been in the locker room. Nothing worse than arrogance and ego. Stevie seems like a genuine guy and respectful towards others like maven on his KZbin show. Can't but class

[@dantegood2195]

Well, Stevie is in just 50s now and retired. He’s a lot more mellow and mature today, obviously. But he always talks about how immature he was in his younger years. Plus, he seems overly sensitive and self important.

In 2003 I worked as a Baggage Screener at an International Airport and Ric Flair was preselected to be checked extensively by security personnel. I was at the outpost that checked the passengers in great detail which involved opening the luggage and checking their personal belongings with unlimited range. I was staring into space, when a man slams his suitcase up on the table… it’s Ric Flair! Flair than starts to rant about getting chosen to be screened, he stated that he worked with 200 of the most patriotic men in world and he’s swearing up and down. I look at him, and dryly say to him, I’m just doing my job… and I’ll get you out of here as soon as possible. After that he didn’t say anything but thank you and left. They say never meet your heroes… I know that was a awkward moment but he could of been more professional since he is a public figure, I never forgot or like him much after that - imagine how many more moments he had like that with people?

[@DenisDugan-ot9eh]

I was at the Extreme Reunion and Rising Shows, and Stevie is speaking the truth . Extreme Reunion had beyond Standing Room Only, friggin people in the parking lot that couldn't get in, that still stood out there just to hear the show. And boy, was everybody disappointed, Crazy late start, technical issues and wrestlers (and promoter/wrestlers) that didn't even get in shape for the show, hell, some didn't even bother with a spray tan. Reunion was a clusterf*$#, Rising was a bit of redemption. But for both shows, Stevie was one of the brightest spots. Best shape of his career and really gave 110%. He wanted to be there, unlike many others who were just there to collect money off their name. Raven was booked to wrestle but was in such bad shape, he showed up with a "bootleg flock" and had them get beat up while he tried to be clever on the house mic. I'd love to hear an episode on these shows.

A lot of people act differently when you’re alone with them compared to when they are around their friends, so I’m not surprised some wrestlers are like this as well.

[@Uuusssaaas]

If Dixie Carter laughs at you, your career in TNA has peaked. You should have decked Flair you would have retained your self respect and may have caused Dixie to see you in a different light. Or you would have been fired. On second thought, you were smart to keep your mouth shut and continue getting paid. Mocking him in the ring was a nice touch. You should have told why you did it. I hope he hears the podcast. Hopefully he does and he goes off on you. It would get you another 5000 subscribers. I am going to subscribe. See, it is already working.

I agree with him about Kanyon and The Undertaker. The more you hear about him as a person, the less likeable or “stand up” he seems.

[@lucashebbe3335]

Taker covered it, checked out, Taker swings a chair the same way, every time. Look in any of his matches, there's no give, no take. If somebody took it wrong then that's on them for knowing it's coming and not protecting themselves...ala bret hart/goldberg which stevie already covered. At the end of the day it's up to you unless you're foley wrestling the rock, on what kinda bump you take involving a chair. Stevie, maven, taker, so many guys have covered it.

[@Derek70388]

Taker was also complicit with JBL’s bullying

[@JoKiR90]

I agree wholeheartedly with that! My respect for him has totally dwindled. Chad Wick’s story is especially sad. Granted, a lot of it was JBL, but Taker was always aware and never stepped in to stop it. Renee Dupree is another guy that got fucked with a lot with Taker essentially being the driving force behind it all. Dude was no better than JBL, Holly or anyone else. He could’ve put an end to the ignorance at any point and he didn’t. He condoned and even encouraged it.
