Ric Flair on the Hall of Fame and the induction of his good friend
In his “To Be The Man” podcast, Ric Flair talked about the induction of his friend The Great Muta into the Hall of Fame. Ric Flair is always excited when it comes to this event. He is aware of what it means, but he also recalled various moments from the past.
“This is so big for me. It’s going to be my eighth trip. I inducted Harley. I inducted Piper. I’ve inducted Steamboat, Sting, Fujinami, and I’ve been inducted myself twice, so it’s a huge honor for me.
I mean, how many people, number one, even get to go to the Hall of Fame, much less participate in, at any level? To me, and we’ve talked about this before, I’ve not always thought some of the choices were the best, but it’s the real deal.
It’s the only thing we have that’s real. It should mean a lot to anybody because they treat it like it’s a big deal. It is a big deal. The biggest thrill of my life was when Hunter inducted me. The Four Horsemen thing was great, but the single induction by Hunter when, which people are so aware that I talked for so long because I had so many people to thank.
That’s the only problem when you’ve been doing it a long time. There’s not enough time to thank everybody, but I sure tried hard that night. It ran for 45 minutes”. – he said, as quoted by pwmania.com
Ric Flair on Bob Geigel
Flair also talked about Bob Geigel.
He thinks that Geigel ruined the NWA and thinks that the worst thing is that he became the president. “He ruined the NWA. When Sam Muchnick passed away, they made him the president of the NWA. He ruined it. I mean, what he did to it, he just prostituted the crap out of it.
Sam, he had so much respect. Bob was just horrible. He represented the NWA very poorly. Tough guy, tough amateur wrestler at Iowa and all that, but, if it would have gone to someone who really enforced the rules, I mean, God only knows.
Everything changes for a reason, but the day Bob became president, it was the worst thing that ever happened”.
