On Monday's
RAW, Ric Flair went off on a tangent so peculiar that many fans questions whether The Nature Boy might have been drunk. He slurred his words, appeared confused at times, and them cut a ringside promo that left the show's announce team speechless.
Well, during the latest episode of
The Jerry Lawler Show podcast, The King was quick to debunk that.
"I can assure you. I can tell you for a fact that Ric and I dressed in the same dressing room in Cleveland and we talked for hours. I can assure you, I was with him for hours leading up to right before we went out on the air and he was perfectly fine."
"People were saying that Ric Flair was drunk or something like that. That was not the case. I think he was just so fired up and maybe because I don’t think that was an interview that was written for him. I think that they just let him go off on his own and he was probably so excited doing an interview like that."
Lawler went on to say that he considered making a crack about Flair having a stroke if he didn't calm down but admitted to thinking better of it. "He really went off. That was a typical old school Ric Flair interview. He was fired up." In other words, Naitch got fired up and went off the script after being given some freedom, something many fans have been crying out for!
