In recent weeks, Ric Flair has come across more unfiltered on his podcast because he has been very blunt about certain people in the wrestling business, including Eric Bischoff and Jim Ross. On the latest “To Be The Man” podcast, Flair was asked if he thinks about Vince McMahon wanting to come back to WWE. In his answer, he said some interesting things about Geraldo Rivera. Note: As far as I know, what Flair said has never been stated publicly before and nothing was said to back up the claims. Rivera reported on the WWF scandals in 1992, including an episode where Rita Chatterton appeared to accuse McMahon of rape.
Flair said the following:
“I just want him to be happy because I won’t budge on the statement that he built it. He withstood it. He went through all the personal aggravation. I mean, the fights, the bad stuff, everything that anybody that tries to rise to success in business. He went through it all by himself, I’m sure with the support of his family, but them never probably at such a young age truly understanding what it was like for like Geraldo to break into their home and sh*t like that when all that was going down. You know about that right?”
Conrad Thompson said, “No.”
Flair: “You didn’t know Geraldo broke into their home?”
Conrad: “No. What are you talking about?”
Flair: “That investigative reporter. Remember him?”
Conrad: “I know who Geraldo is. Geraldo broke into Vince’s house?”
Flair: “Yeah, it happened when that steroid trial was going on.”
Conrad: “No. I had no knowledge of this. This is, what?”
Flair: “Yeah, I’m absolutely telling you the truth. I don’t say he broke in physically. He had people do it.”
Conrad: “Oh my God, no, I didn’t know that.”
Flair: “Well then make sure we get this right, but I’ve been told that by some very close people to the situation.”
Flair later said, “Let’s get our facts before this airs so we don’t get lawsuits from Geraldo. I’ve been told that by people that were right there.”
