WWE Told Ric Flair To ‘Tone It Down’ On Road To WrestleMania

Ric Flair is known for his styling and profiling ways, and The Nature Boy is also famous for his mouth. That gives his podcasting efforts an extra bit of everything, because he’s known to pop off at the mouth in audio form. Of course, sometimes he can get a little carried away.

Ric Flair has tried his best to steer clear from major controversy after the Dark Side of the Ring episode exposed the fact that he exposed himself on the Plane Ride From Hell. The two-time WWE Hall of Famer is still known to say controversial things on his To Be The Man podcast.

During Wrestle Binge, Dutch Mantell offered some words of wisdom for Ric Flair, He advised Flair to “tone it down,” a little bit on the road to WrestleMania.

“It’s like the good old saying, tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot. I tried to say let’s put it behind us, but no, he is going to keep it on. I’m almost getting tired of it now, but apparently, I got more comments this week than I got last week.

And I also learned something new today; I’ve heard, just heard, WWE has told Ric, ‘Hey, tone that down, buddy. See if you can get it to go away because we’re right here and WrestleMania and these fans are roasting your butt, and you’re going to induct Muta into the Hall of Fame.'”

We will have to see if Ric Flair takes Dutch Mantell’s words into consideration. Obviously, there are a lot of reasons why Ric Flair would want to continue letting the world know what he thinks. It might be a bit of therapy for Flair, and it also helps rake up those podcast listens.
