WWE veteran reacts Following Ric Flair publicly calls him out, claims he never criticized The Nature Boy (Exclusive)

Ric Flair, one of the most iconic and unpredictable legends in pro wrestling, recently shocked fans by calling out Vince Russo in a social media post. The Nature Boy warned Russo not to use his name for “ratings” and even brought up his AEW status and daughter Charlotte Flair while expressing anger.

Now, Vince Russo has finally responded to Flair’s public comments and admitted that he is confused and has no idea what triggered Ric Flair’s outburst.

Ric Flair Calls Out Vince Russo on Social Media

In a surprising post, Ric Flair lashed out at Vince Russo, telling him not to mention his name just to gain attention or “get ratings.” Flair also insisted that he still works for Tony Khan in AEW, despite recent rumors that he had parted ways with the company.

Flair’s post left fans and the wrestling world puzzled, especially since there was no prior sign of issues between Russo and Flair.

Vince Russo Reacts to Flair’s Angry Post

Speaking on the latest episode of BroDown Live, Vince Russo addressed Flair’s comments, saying he was shocked and confused. Russo made it clear that he had never said anything negative about Ric Flair and has always praised Charlotte Flair as the greatest women’s wrestler.

Here’s what Russo said during the show:

“Mac, I swear to you I saw that comment, I have no idea what he’s talking about. I have no idea what he is talking about. I never badmouth Ric Flair. I don’t have anything to say bad about Ric Flair. I always put Charlotte over, I think Charlotte’s the greatest. I saw that and I swear bro, I have no idea what he is talking about.” [3:15 – 3:43]

Russo’s reaction makes it clear that there is some misunderstanding or false information that may have caused Flair’s anger.

Russo Thinks Flair Might Have Heard False Rumors

Vince Russo also explained that this situation reminds him of a similar incident with JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield) a few months ago. Back then, JBL believed something false about Russo until they spoke directly and cleared the air.

Russo suspects someone may have told Ric Flair something incorrect, leading to this unexpected reaction. He also clarified that he doesn’t “get ratings” as Flair mentioned because he runs a subscriber-based platform:

“First of all, I have subscribers, bro, I don’t get ratings. I had the same thing a couple of months ago with JBL and I couldn’t understand it and then I got to the bottom of it where somebody told JBL something I said and he believed it. I never said it. So, I’m wondering if somebody told Flair I said something.” [From 3:44 onwards]

Will Vince Russo and Ric Flair Reconcile?

While tensions are high now, pro wrestling history has shown that disputes between personalities often cool down with time. Many wrestlers who have feuded backstage later reconcile, and Russo himself hopes to clear up the misunderstanding with Flair, just like he did with JBL.

Given both men’s long histories in the wrestling world, a conversation could settle things and bring back peace between the two veterans.

The unexpected clash between Ric Flair and Vince Russo has left fans wondering what caused the Nature Boy’s fiery post. Russo has publicly stated he respects Ric Flair and his daughter Charlotte, and is confused about the backlash.

Whether it’s a misunderstanding or something said out of context, wrestling fans will be watching closely to see if Russo and Flair will clear the air. As of now, Russo insists he has no issue with Flair and hopes to resolve the situation soon.
