Ric Flair Believes The Undertaker Would Have Had a Similar Stance Like Him In His Real Life Confrontation With 35-Year-Old WWE Star

The Nature Boy Ric Flair’s career as a pro wrestler spanned over 50 years. Slick Ric recently announced his retirement from pro wrestling at the age of 73. The Hall of Famer is now living his post-retirement life by sharing his life stories on his YouTube channel Ric Flair.

In one of his podcasts, he discussed his falling out with the Triple H and WWE due to the trademark conflict. Flair used the nickname ‘The Man’ during his time in WWE. After the retirement of Ric Flair, female wrestler Becky Lynch started to use the moniker in her gimmick.

Flair didn’t oppose the use of his name but demanded a certain amount of money instead. The argument led to a quarrel between the long-time friends Triple H and Ric Flair. The Nature Boy also questioned what would the WWE legends like Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Steve Austin would’ve done if they were in his place.

“People ask me all the time what about Hunter and I… Hunter and I, our disagreement, it was about the trademark. But how many guys … this is an opportunity to address this. Do you think if it was Shawn Michaels or Steve [Austin] or Taker or Bret Hart, if they had, for example, had called Becky [Lynch] like Hitman Becky or Heartbreak Becky, they wouldn’t have been equally as pissed?” said Flair in his podcast.

How did The Man moniker help Becky Lynch?

Becky Lynch added the moniker The Man to her gimmick in 2018. Lynch changed her gimmick to an unappreciated rebellious wrestler and started calling herself The Man. The nickname worked for Becky Lynch as she is currently an established female wrestler in WWE.

It disappointed Ric Flair how the company ignored his royalty for the name after the name worked miracles for the WWE diva Lynch. Flair said, “We are not just talking about just a name, we are talking about millions of dollars. Millions, as you know. Merchandise in the millions. But I think people at that level of notoriety that have worked that hard on their brand, they would be as upset as I was.”
