The Sun has an audio interview with Ric Flair to promote the TNA UK tour in 2011. He talks about why he returned to the ring, mentioning that when the Australian tour with Hulk Hogan came up, he called Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels to ask if they were okay with him wrestling again, but when the opportunity with TNA came up, he only called Michaels.
Flair also mentions that Beer Money have a lot of talent, and that they are unselfish and could go out and lose every night, but be good enough that no one would remember. He adds that AJ Styles and Kurt Angle are the flagship players of TNA and that they will start the build to Flair vs Angle in two weeks on Impact. He also talks about John Cena being the only person who could rival him outside the ring, but he knows when to draw the line.
When asked about Bret Hart’s return, he said if he was happy with himself, than it’s good. He called his WrestleMania match with Vince McMahon “smoke and mirrors”, and was he was unaware that he won the US Championship a couple of weeks ago, and was under the impression he was a full time wrestler again. The hosts mentioned he was the new RAW GM now, but didnt mention that he vacated the belt.
Flair also mentioned that Reid Flair has signed with TNA, and that Arn Anderson will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next year in Atlanta. Plus he also called the X-Division, “X-Factor”.
