Ric Flair’s Feud with Cary Silkin Takes a Twist with Surprising On-Air Admission

Ric Flair’s recent back-and-forth with former ROH owner Cary Silkin took an unexpected turn during The Nature Boy’s appearance on Busted Open Radio. After igniting the wrestling world with fiery tweets accusing Silkin of questionable practices—and threatening to “drag” him on air—Flair seemed to backpedal from his earlier statements.

“Cary, I’m not going to say anything bad about you,” Flair admitted during the live broadcast. “I only said that to get people to tune in.”

Flair’s earlier tweet had promised fireworks, with the wrestling legend writing, “Cary Silkin, prepare to live in another country after I get through with you.” The post followed accusations from Silkin that Flair owed him $41,000 for missing four signings. Flair responded by posting a private message that criticized Silkin’s character, further fueling the drama.

While fans were braced for a no-holds-barred takedown, Flair’s admission on Busted Open Radio turned the anticipated war of words into something far more subdued. Whether this marks the end of the controversy or merely a strategic pause remains unclear.

As one of wrestling’s most controversial figures, Flair has never shied away from the spotlight, and his ability to stir the pot is as sharp as ever. Whether Silkin will respond or let the matter rest is yet to be seen, but Flair’s unexpected pivot has left fans scratching their heads.
