Ric Flair Talks 30 For 30

Ric Flair’s ESPN 30 For 30 documentary premieres on November 7th at 10:00 pm EST, and The Nature Boy has been making the media rounds, promoting the show. During a recent interview, he spoke about the one part of the documentary that was difficult for him to get through.

“The only hard part was what I experienced with the stuff with Reid. I expected negative comments from my kids. That didn’t surprise me and I couldn’t be upset about it. What people need to understand is that I am not a Doctor, or Lawyer, I am a Wrestler.”

Jack Gallagher On Vince McMahon & 205 Live

During a recent appearance on Ring Rust Radio, WWE Cruiserweight star Jack Gallagher expanded on his work on 205 Live and working with the WWE Cruiserweight Division.

“For me, it’s not escaping the division, it’s about elevating it. NXT went from a developmental system which was considered a step-down, to a completely separate brand unto itself where people are stars and they sell out stadiums and they tour by themselves. In my head I think, if we all work hard, then 205 Live becomes good, the division becomes good, the division raises, and then there are more opportunities and then there are more interesting things for everyone as well.”

He also paints Vince McMahon, and his relationship with WWE’s Chairman, in a positive light.

“The relationship with Vince McMahon, he is surprisingly approachable. Growing up watching WWE or WWF as I did growing up, you think of Vince McMahon as this larger-than-life scary character. He is a larger-than-life character, but he is very welcoming, charming, he sits down and if he has time in his busy schedule, which is rare, but if he has time in his schedule, he has time for anyone.”
