During a recent interview on The Five Star Podcast, Ric Flair discussed his reasons for no longer offering advice to young wrestlers.
“I don’t give it anymore, because they’d rather read the internet. They don’t listen to me. They ask me something, then they walk over and ask someone who knows nothing about it. I used to respect it when they asked me, but if I give an opinion, I got to rethink if they’re gonna take it to heart.”
Flair also praised AEW President Tony Khan, stating, “Once Tony found out I was on blood thinners, he wouldn’t let me get in the ring.”
Despite acknowledging Khan’s concern for his health, Flair expressed his desire to have another match, responding “Hell yeah I do.” when prompted by one of the hosts. Flair will celebrate his 76th birthday next month.
