Ric Flair talks about the brand extension and his new podcast

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently spoke with Fansided to promote his podcast, Ric Flair Show. Here are the highlights.

On the brand split: Well when it happened the very first time, it captured the imagination of the viewers. The fact that Smackdown is going live, it was needed to create that shuffle. Now you have two competitive products under one umbrella. Now don’t think they aren’t going to be digging. I love the new sets and everything that is part of this new era. Vince McMahon is a genius and innovative as hell. He has a daughter and a son-in-law who will carry that flag, until somebody shoots it down. Trust me, the work ethic they have is simply amazing.

On his new podcast: I think this network is really behind the new podcast. Working with my co-host Conrad, he has really put the work into this and I think he is a genius. I don’t think CBS really got behind it and promoted it properly. They are nice people don’t get me wrong, but they don’t do that for a living. They are a television network and podcasting isn’t their forte. They wanted me to go find my own sponsors. Again, I enjoyed working with them but they were so much of a turnover in the chain of command, you never knew who to deal with.

Flair also talked about Charlotte losing the Women’s Title to Sasha Banks, Evolution and more. You can read the entire interview here.
