Remember Sylvain Grenier? He’s still active on the indie scene and often works for FWE Wrestling.
During a recent appearance on the Culture State podcast, Grenier told a story about Ric Flair almost appearing at an FWE Wrestling event in Raleigh, NC earlier this year. While Flair initially agreed to the appearance, something changed and it never wound up happening. Instead, Billy Gunn from AEW came in as a replacement. He said,
“We were ‘that close’ to getting Ric Flair for the show. He had wrestled his last match six months ago and was doing appearances, we really tried hard. Ric actually said yes, but I think it was his agent, he had some other stuff to take care of and the travel and the schedule, it was that close. Maybe next time. Now, we have Billy Gunn, who is on TV with AEW.”
