- WWE Hall of Famer praises Evans, but claims it wasn’t a proper story
- He stressed that the idea was Vince McMahon’s to carry out a push for the fighter
After more than two months missing from WWE programming, Hall of Famer Ric Flair spoke about what he thought was the angle that took place earlier this year, between him, his daughter Charlotte Flair and Lacey Evans. , in a chat with Ariel Helwani, a journalist for ESPN, which collects EWrestlingNews .
“I am a guy who always says yes to all stories. Everything has happened to me. Vince Russo buried me in the desert and they even shaved my head. The best, such as Shawn Michaels, Undertaker or Bret Hart, have not had to go through this. I have resisted everything and I have returned ”, explained Flair about the moment in which the idea was proposed to him.
However, the former WCW and WWF world champion made it clear that it was all Vince McMahon’s idea : “I didn’t want to argue with him, he just made a decision. Vince wanted to give Lacey a push , I think because he was in the navy and he wanted to be grateful. But it does not work”.
He also praised what both he and Evans did. “She is a very nice girl who did great, just like I did everything on my part. But she got pregnant. It is not personal. She dedicates her entire life to her husband and daughter. But you already know. For Vince I will always be the one of ‘kiss stealing, wheeling-dealing…’, I will never change for him ”, he concluded in this regard.
