He was rolling his wife's luggage when I greeted him. He introduced me to her, I shook both their hands, and then he signed my book. So classy. I met Shawn Michaels 5 minutes before that - same thing, he introduced me to his wife and asked me if I was born again. Both guys were gentlemen.

    *RIC DIDNT HAVE AN INTERVIEW. RIC WAS HAVING A GREAT FUN TIME JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOOTING THE SHID WITH THEO. THIS WAS AWESOME. GOT TO SEE REAL RIC. SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUST QUESTION AND ANSWER. CAN SEE RIC IS A HUMBLE DUDE. NOTHING TO HIDE, NO DECEPTION. HIS LIFE IS ON HIS SLEEVE!!*

    As a Dominican it was really awesome listening to the Jack Veneno story, they actually used to promote Jack as the guy that beat Flair when I was a kid in the 90's.

    They need to do a podcast together. They mesh so well, and their laughs are infectious 😂

    Theo, I really admire your bravery in immediately asking about Ric's son after he described how he passed. It's a gamble on continuing on the subject but Ric needed to reminisce on the good times in order to flip the energy right back around. You're a real one. Never stop being you!

    My grandfather was a police officer in Wilkesboro,NC in the 70s and 80s and he got a call one night for a man in a robe flashing women, it was Ric Flair when Ric was with Crockett and they came to town 😂

    Ric Flair and Theo Von, WOOOOO! Fantastic interview! Neither of these guys ever gets old. I still watch old videos of Ric in his heyday. Nobody better, funnier or more entertaining.

    I love these podcasts because I know how much Theo loves wrestling and he clearly admires Rick.

      I would watch a podcast with Theo, Ron Funches, Dan Soder and Tony Hinchcliff where they watch old WWE shows and break them down.
