With a new documentary about the life and career of Ric Flair around the corner, the Nature Boy has gone on the attack.
Speaking on a recent episode of his podcast To Be The Man, Flair branded Bischoff an “arrogant pr*ck,” who “f*cked him” every time he turned around. It had been believed that the very real feud between the pair was over, but Flair has seemingly come out fighting.
Eric Bischoff Fires Back At Ric Flair
There has been bad blood between Eric Bischoff and Ric Flair going all of the way back to the 1990s. Things got so bad between them behind the scenes in WCW that the problems were openly acknowledged on television in an attempt to turn the animosity into money-making storyline.
The problems began when Flair requested time off to attend his son, Reid’s amateur wrestling tournament. As he wasn’t in a high-profile storyline at the time, Flair didn’t think his absence would be an issue. Bischoff was said to have declined Flair’s request, but the Nature Boy missed the episode of Nitro anyway. This coupled with Flair already feeling devalued by Bischoff, tipped the tension between the pair to a whole new level.
In the aftermath Bischoff threatened legal action against Flair and the bad blood continued for years, with the pair reportedly coming to blows while working for WWE.
In a new post of social media Flair shared a clip of a promo from their rivalry in WCW. The promo took place on the September 14th, 1998 edition of WCW Monday Nitro. This was the first time that Flair had appeared since no-showing the taping that April. On the episode, the Nature Boy reformed the Four Horsemen and lambasted Bischoff, calling him an “a**hole,” a “liar, cheat and a scam” and finally a “son of a b*tch.”
Flair captioned the post “You Wonder Why Eric? REALLY? Wooooo” while tagging Bischoff. In response, Bischoff said that he “made” Flair, calling the segment some of is best work.
This is some of your best work ever. You’re welcome. I made you. https://t.co/YD3mMvPQwJ
