Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair was recently interviewed by The News-Press to talk about several professional wrestling topics. “The Nature Boy” revealed how he’s feeling after his health scare in 2017, his daughter Charlotte being the SmackDown Live Women’s Champion in WWE, and why he misses professional wrestling. Below are some of the highlights:
How he’s feeling after his 2017 health scare:
“I’m doing great! It was a year anniversary last Tuesday. I’ve healed, and I had the second operation to repair the stoma. I feel great. And I’m blessed, man, no kidding. It’s been phenomenal. Someone gave me another chance. Not someone, but you know, The Man gave me the opportunity. I feel very special and I feel very happy to be in the position I’m in.”
Charlotte Flair in WWE:
“I live my life vicariously through my daughter. She’s doing phenomenal. She’s above and beyond the legacy.”
Why he misses professional wrestling:
“I’m not saying it wasn’t hard, but I didn’t look at it as just work. I loved it. It became a way of life for me. I loved it, and I miss it a lot now. But like I said, I really enjoy watching my daughter, and I attend a lot of events. And through my relationship with her, I stay in touch with a lot of the kids who all come out… It’s been a wonderful experience.”
