"I'm his biggest fan" - WWE legend wants to know why he wasn't invited to Vince McMahon's birthday
WWE legend Ric Flair says he should've been at Vince McMahon's recent birthday, calling himself the biggest fan of McMahon.
The former WWE Chairman and CEO recently celebrated his 77th birthday in New York at the Waverly Inn restaurant with John Cena and his wife Shay Shariatzadeh. Brock Lesnar and commentator Pat McAfee were also present at the party.
While discussing McMahon in a recent edition of the To Be The Man podcast, Flair jokingly asked why he wasn't invited to the party.
The Nature Boy said that McMahon probably thinks that he can't be discreet, which is why he wasn't invited.
"Why wasn't I invited to his [Vince McMahon] birthday party? What in the hell [laughs]. I don't think he thinks I can be - what's the word I use with him - I'll be discreet. I should have been at that party though. Damn it, come on. I'm his biggest fan, even though he doesn't like John [Cena] to be around me," joked Flair. [50:42 to 51:20]
McMahon's appearance at his birthday party was his first public appearance since retiring from the company.
