4. Steve Austin Thinks The Charlotte-Ric Flair Segment From Last Week’s Raw Was Real Bad, Thinks Charlotte Is Still Green
During a recent edition of the Steve Austin Show podcast, WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin discussed the Charlotte-Ric Flair segment from last week’s Raw and thought it was real bad. Below is what Austin said:
“Ric Flair spilled the beans as soon as he went out there. He had only been talking 10 to 15 seconds and I said, ‘oh, he’s getting fired or she’s going to kick him out of the damn ring’ and that’s exactly what happened. And then, man, that was a pretty rowdy crowd and she got lost. And I love Charlotte. She’s a talented female. She’s still green, but she has got so much potential. And she carries herself like a star. When she enters that damn arena, everybody comes to their feet when they hit that music. It’s a moment. We’ll see what happens with the matches that she’s in, but she’s a special one too.
But that was just a real bad segment and that thing, Ric kind of spilled the beans. Whoever wrote that, and you know Ric is one of the best promo guy in the history of the professional wrestling business and you don’t writing anything for Ric Flair. Just let him go out there and do his thing. But, so he’s going out there and he’s trying to memorize this script that someone wrote him and he spilled the beans, started tripping all over himself, and then, it only got worse from there.
And then, Charlotte’s trying to recoup and she gets lost a couple of times and goes at the crowd and then kind of misspeaks and then it was extremely awkward and it was hard to watch because I’m such a fan of the Flairs.”
