WWE Hall Of Famer The ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair has been regarded as one of the greatest pro wrestlers to have ever laced up a pair of boots in the world of professional wrestling. He is also a man full of controversies and has had trouble with a lot of pro wrestlers and pro wrestling personalities. One of them includes WWE legend, Teddy Long. Bret Hart also previously called out Ric Flair for ‘flat out lie.’
One of the previous episodes of Vice’s Dark Side Of The Ring back in 2021 series focused on the infamous Plane Ride From Hell incident and it immediately brought the heat on Ric Flair, Tommy Dreamer, and others. Things have calmed down since then but it seems Ric Flair is still never afraid of speaking his mind.
WWE Hall of Famer The Godfather was a recent guest on The Universal Wrestling Podcast to discuss a wide variety of subjects. During the interview, Godfather said two things had changed his life for the better: marijuana and his wife.
“Two things changed my life for the better marijuana and my wife,” The Godfather said. “And those things took me from being a really bad person to being a nice person, and I’ll just let it go at that. So I just chill, and it’s just me, man, and at this point, I’m basically retired, and I’m just having fun. But it was great. Ric Flair gave me some Ric Flair drip. That night me, my wife, Taker, Flair, and Jerry Lawler. Jerry doesn’t drink, but we were just down there having some shots of Jack and telling stories. It was a great time.”
The Godfather went on to tell a story about a kid at the bar the weekend of RAW is XXX who approached them and had no clue who The Undertaker was.
“Yeah, but not all of us were there, just like me, Taker and a few of us were there because they didn’t want to stay where everybody was staying because when you’re around Taker, it can get crazy,” The Godfather admitted. “Like rock and roll star fans. Not crazy, but sometimes he can’t just go down and have a drink at the bar without people just wanting to talk to him and take pictures with him, which is cool, right.
“That night, I think there was one; I swear to God this happened. I swear, because there wasn’t no fans there, really. It was just some of us and a few guys from the office, and we’re down there drinking, and this kid comes up, and he goes to Taker, and I swear this is true. He goes, ‘And which wrestler are you?’ And I swear Taker looks at this kid and goes, ‘I’m the Godfather.’ [laughs] It was a great time.”
