Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s accomplishments are truly second to none, but he is more than open to admitting when he is wrong and that’s why he is now apologizing to Vince Russo for blaming him for WCW’s downfall.
As previously reported, the ”Who Killed WCW?” docuseries was produced by Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions and the series premiered on June 4 on VICE TV.
Ric Flair shared his perspective on the downfall of WCW, attributing it to a “three-headed monster” consisting of Jim Herd, Eric Bischoff, and Vince Russo. According to Flair, it was the dysfunction, animosity, and divisive actions of those in charge that ultimately led to WCW’s demise.
”I’ve Tried To Lay Low On This But Let’s Face It- Who Killed WCW? It’s A Three-Headed Monster! Jim Herd, @EBischoff , And @THEVinceRusso !!! There’s No Individual Wrestler Or Faction That Caused Anything To Kill WCW. It Was The People In Charge That Created Dysfunction, Animosity, And Tried To Divide And Conquer By Lying To Everyone And Involving Themselves In The Promotion Which Was The Ultimate Failure! God, I Could Give You A Thousand More Examples. I Am One To Live Through All Three Nightmares And To Be Saved By The @WWE ! Thank You To The WWE For Bringing Someone Who Was Dead In The Water As A Result Of These Three People Back To Life!”
Vince Russo clearly saw Ric Flair had to say, as he went on to call Ric Flair a drunk. Today, Flair addressed his previous remarks on Twitter, offering a retraction and extending apologies to the three individuals involved, especially Vince Russo.
“A Very Important Person In My Life Reminded Me Yesterday That Twitter Is The Weakest Form Of Communication. I Want To Take This Opportunity To Apologize To Jim Herd, @EBischoff, And @THEVinceRusso Because I Really Don’t Know. I Unfairly Judged You Without Knowing The Inner Workings And Behind The Scenes Of The Business On The Corporate End With People You Had To Report To And Work With. I Wish On A Personal Note That All 3 Of Us Could Have Worked Together And Had Better Relationships! For Vince Calling Me The GOAT, I Appreciate That & You Did Help My Son To Pursue His Dream In Wrestling. I Am Going To Do Eric Bischoff’s Podcast, But It Won’t Be To Bury Anybody. It’s To Discuss Our Differences! @TheRock Is Making A Movie On My Life, And I’m In A Great Place! I Hope This Can All Be Put Behind Us!”
It is good to know that Ric Flair admitted his own mistakes as WCW’s downfall is currently a huge topic of discussion because of the ongoing docuseries. Nonetheless, we hope Flair learns his lesson from now on.
