Vince McMahon has storied pasts with several WWE Hall of Famers, from Bret Hart to Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and Steve Austin, among others. The former Chairman and Ric Flair also go way back as they have been on good terms, and not-so-good terms, over the years. Flair has just issued a review of McMahon's new docuseries on Netflix.
The Dirtiest Player in the Game often represented the face of the competition as McMahon was focused on growing WWE from a regional promotion. Flair finally joined the other side in August 1991 after leaving WCW amid controversy, but left in 1993 after receiving a better offer to return to his former employer. McMahon bought WCW in March 2001, and it wasn't until that November when Flair shockingly made his return to WWE.
Netflix released all six episodes of its new Mr. McMahon docuseries today, and various stories have been trending topics since the premiere. Flair took to X today to share his thoughts while watching the first episode. The 75-year-old also put his Becoming Ric Flair documentary over, and included a photo from his Street Fight victory over Vince McMahon at the 2002 Royal Rumble. Numerous wrestling stars have weighed in on the series, and several controversial allegations were revealed.
"Watching The @VinceMcMahon Documentary Today! Episode 1, Interesting, But I’m Not Able To Comment On Anything Other Than The Fact That He Made A Lot Of People Rich & Changed The Landscape Of Wrestling For The Good! But I Definitely Will Tell You This. My Documentary WOOOOO: Becoming Ric Flair Blows That Episode Out Of The Water! It’s Emmy Nominated!! WOOOOO!" Ric Flair wrote.
Ric Flair and Vince McMahon battled in the ring four times. Flair won their Street Fight at Royal Rumble 2002, but two months later on SmackDown, McMahon and Kurt Angle defeated The Nature Boy and Triple H.
Vince won a No Holds Barred match for control of RAW two months after that, but Flair won their last match on RAW in March 2008 on RAW. The Career-Threatening Street Fight was part of Flair's retirement storyline for WrestleMania 24.
Ric Flair has immense respect for Vince McMahon
The pro wrestling industry is full of extraordinary stars, but Ric Flair and Vince McMahon are arguably two of the most remarkable characters, if not talents, in the history of the business.
The Genetic Jackhammer and The Nature Boy have been close over the years, but they've also had their differences. Flair previously took to X and publicly praised the former WWE Chairman in a major way.
"@VinceMcMahon, You’ve Made My Life Better Every Day Since I’ve Been In The Wrestling Business. You’re The Only Promoter In My Career That Treated Me Like A Man, Respected Who I Was, And Made Me A Better Person. God Bless You For All You’ve Done. FYI- No One Can Follow Your Act," Ric Flair wrote.
Ric Flair is one of seven wrestlers that Vince McMahon allowed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame twice. Triple H inducted the 16-time world champion in 2008, as the headliner, while Dusty Rhodes inducted Flair, Arn Anderson, JJ Dillon, Tully Blanchard, and Barry Windham in 2012 as The Four Horsemen.
