On Paul Heyman and the role of a manager: “I think [managers] are good in the [professional wrestling] business if they understand the boundaries and their place. I just feel like the people doing all the work in the ring should be having all the heat put on them. I don’t like that Paul talks for Brock because, to me, that heat goes on Paul. Does that make sense? I just think if you look back on a guy who talks a lot like Bobby Heenan, well, Bobby Heenan had a ton of heat on him, but he got the crap beat out of him. And Paul, I don’t think he [has] been passed, physically, to be taking bumps.”

On being Cesaro’s mouthpiece: “I would love that role, but I verbally said that because I don’t think they think he is strong on the mic, but he is certainly strong in the ring. In my opinion, you could make Cesaro a contender that people believe in, right off the bat, for Brock Lesnar. Within one month, you could get him that hot. Hey, don’t be surprised if it’s a SummerSlam match. When that kid comes back, man, I know they’re going to reassess the way they were using him and if they’re going to put a big push on him. He [has] gotten over with the fans anyway. He [has] gotten over huge. He has a huge following. But if he had someone talking for him in the role of being a bad guy, he could be huge, I think.”

On CM Punk’s departure: “I thought [Punk] was a good performer. I don’t know if I’d call him ‘great’, but I thought he was good. I just know he left here in a lot of controversy and it seemed to affect AJ [Lee]’s run here too. I don’t really know. There [are] so many sides to the story. I just know that Hunter is arguably my best friend aside from [WOOOOO! Nation co-host Conrad Thompson] and I can’t see Hunter doing anything to hurt anybody. And I know Dr. Amann. I can’t see Dr. Amann putting someone in a position to get hurt, so that’s all I can say. Hunter certainly wouldn’t do anything to screw him. What does Hunter gain by screwing anybody, right? I don’t think he has to worry about going anywhere.”

On if Triple H buries wrestlers: “I say ‘bulls–t’ to that. He [doesn’t] bury anybody. He doesn’t have to. It doesn’t make sense. If you are the best, all you got to do is go out to the ring and be the best. Does that make sense? Nobody can hold back your talent if you’re in the ring. If someone said, ‘I’m not going to give you the chance to get in the ring’, then, they’re holding you back. If they’re letting you get in the ring, you can simply distinguish yourself from your opponent or anybody else around.”

Flair dedicated to keeping that heel heat to the point he'll tell these outrageous lies about Trips like it's nothing.:wow:
As you can clearly see, he didn't speak on none of the Booker T $hit and made it about "being in the ring is the opportunity you need to stay over":laugh: As if Cripple H didn't take forever to punk Blandy and Booker at WM 19 and WM 25.

He for damn sure buried Booker T.
And Kane...and Steiner...and RVD..and the Spirit Squad....and Kofi Kingston.....and even tried to bury Cena in that WM 22 feud but he was told backstage that wasn't gonna fly and he never mentioned the whole "you only got two moves and one of them is pumping up your Reeboks" ever again.

At one time I really believed Flair and Arn being best friends was a shoot. I figured if they kept saying it on TV for 15 years there was probably some truth to it.

Turns out they're not much more than acquaintances and co-workers. :heh:

Anyway, legit strapping the rocket to Cesaro's ass for a Brock feud would be dope as hell.
