"I'm not the man anymore" - Ric Flair dishes out multiple apologies backstage at WWE RAW XXX
Ric Flair was looking to make up for some past mistakes this week at WWE RAW.
The Nature Boy took part in the RAW is XXX special Monday night on the USA Network and introduced his daughter Charlotte Flair as she made her way to the ring. But Ric was doing even more important things behind the scenes.
On the latest episode of his To Be The Man Podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair spoke about his time at RAW is XXX this week and revealed that he apologized to both Becky Lynch and Seth "Freakin" Rollins due to his issues in recent years over "The Man" trademark.
"I apologized to Becky Lynch," Ric Flair revealed. "I walked up to her and said, ‘May I speak with you for a minute?’ I just said I’m sorry this ever got to where it is’ I went over and shook Seth Rollins’ hands and I said, ‘I’m gonna apologize to your wife.’ I’ve just decided that, it all came with the documentary. Sometimes you get so wrapped up in things that you just forget and you get so wrapped up in things that you just forget, and you say it so many times for so many years."
Flair went on to discuss what made him decide to apologize, comparing Becky to his daughter Charlotte.
"But ‘The Man’ trademark, the whole thing was decided by someone besides she and I. It’s not that as much as the money that was involved in it, which the company reaps the better part of it anyway. Then I saw her with her child, and I thought, ‘God, this will be Ashley someday. It’s not worth it." [H/T: Fightful]
