Ric Flair appeared on Busted Open Radio yesterday and spoke of the highly talked about Tiffany Stratton – Charlotte Flair segment on last week’s WWE Smackdown that reportedly went off-the-rails with both women going off script and getting personal. The WWE Hall of Famer did not appear to
“I have an opinion, but I don’t really want to voice it. I can say this, it’s very sensitive. I didn’t like it, but wrestling is wrestling. I hate when they use me, but Charlotte said it right, you think that’s the first time hearing my name?”
“I want to clarify this. She is ten times the athlete that I am. So much better of a worker than I ever was. I can’t do half the things that she does. It’s not like she’s 5’2” and 103 pounds. She’s 5’11 and weighs 145 pounds. She works so hard. Undertaker said it best, ‘The Queen came back and regained her crown.’ She deserves it. She’ll be the best worker in the business, female, until the day she decides to retire.”
He was then asked specifically about Stratton’s line targeting Charlotte’s failed marriages and subsequent divorces and whether it was unscripted:
“I don’t know the answer to that. I would assume there was no discussion of that before, but I don’t have any idea. I’m not privy to know that. I would imagine they probably didn’t discuss it.”
“Well, they (fans) are talking about it. They are certainly talking about it now, at the expense of Ashley’s personal feelings. Wrestling is a strange animal.”
