On a recent edition of his “Kliq This” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recalled Ric Flair getting seriously mad at WCW for making him don the Black Scorpion gimmick.
Flair was eventually unmasked at WCW Starrcade 1990, after losing to Sting in a Cage Match while wrestling under the masked Black Scorpion gear.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On different people portraying the Black Scorpion: “[It] was supposed to be like Al Perez, all these different people, The Black Scorpion was like 30 different people.”
On how angry Ric Flair was over having to portray the character: “Finally, Flair was The Black Scorpion, and I remember him just…oh, he was so f—king pissed. They gave him this red mask that he wore, and he f—king in disgust threw it in the locker room and f—king like everybody left.”
