Ric Flair Reveals Vince McMahon Nixed Him Getting Physical At WWE Crown Jewel

WWE Hall Of Famer, Ric Flair recently spoke with WrestlingInc.com where he revealed there was an idea for him to get physical at WWE Crown Jewel.

Within the interview, Ric Flair revealed that he is now physically cleared to do something again. While he doesn’t believe he can wrestle a match, Flair stated that he can take a bump now if needed.

“Yes… well, no, not wrestle a match. I could get knocked down. Could I wrestle a match? Yes… but I couldn’t because it would take me so long to get in that kind of shape. But I could be involved in a spot or take a bump,” said Flair.

“When I sit ringside and you see the speed and how fast the guys move, you think that at one time I was doing that. It’s amazing and now I see why people buy those ringside seats as you have a whole new appreciation. But getting back, if I could have just fed Roman after he cleaned the house – boom, take a bump on the apron or the floor – they would have gone nuts. Roman winked at me and pointed to his heart and shook his head [laughs].”

Flair revealed that he actually got cleared to do something physically at WWE Crown Jewel, but Vince McMahon ended up nixing the idea.

“I got cleared medically to do something in Saudi and then Vince nixed it. If I would have fed Roman in that huge comeback he made, or tapped Hogan, that would have been the coup de gras. You just wanna give them everything they paid for and sometimes if you’re not physically involved, you feel like you’re not giving everything you had if you’re not physical.”

Flair also spoke about Hulk Hogan’s health and why he thinks he isn’t able to be physical anymore:

“The key that I’ve learned is that you can’t hurry the healing process. The first couple of times with my pacemaker there were issues because I had gotten into two accidents. When I had my surgery, I was driving way too early. But I’m built like that and we, in the wrestling business, that, unfortunately, makes you insensitive to pain, discomfort and sitting still,” stated Flair. “Hulk’s biggest issue is taking care of himself and following doctor’s orders to a T. Jimmy Hart will text Wendy and say, ‘If you get a chance, tell Hulk to follow the orders.’ He can’t go through any more surgeries, not saying he can’t, but he just doesn’t have to if he takes time to heal.”
