On a recent episode of his Something to Wrestle With podcast, Bruce Prichard made a surprising revelation about Vince McMahon and 16-time World Champion Ric Flair. Prichard revealed that the WWE boss wasn’t a fan of Flair’s promos during their feud after the Nature Boy returned to the company in 2002.
“I think he [Vince McMahon] wasn’t a big fan of Ric’s promos by any stretch of the imagination,” Prichard said. “I think that he was a fan of Ric Flair, the person, especially at the time, and he was a fan of the work. He was a fan of Ric’s if that makes any sense. But I think when you especially in 2002, we’re talking ten years later, in 2002, he wasn’t a fan of that.”
Prichard also detailed how the company wanted to present Naitch during the time.
“In this era of Ric being the owner and the general manager, whatever the hell it was, it was trying to present Ric in a different way, a different side of him and a business side of him, and not be that character that he had been for all those years as a performer. We were looking for a different side of him to have him grow,” the former Brother Love observed.
