Why Ric Flair Kicked Ex-WWE Champion Out Of The Ring
A former champion in WWE has revealed why he was kicked out of the ring by Ric Flair.
Ric Flair has forgotten more about pro wrestling than most stars will ever learn, which is why The Nature Boy may have been the perfect choice to help teach the stars of tomorrow how to make it in the business.
But one student did not meet Flair’s high bar and was kicked out of the ring by the WWE Hall of Famer as a result.
Ric Flair Kicks Out Mr Kennedy
Speaking on Cafe de Rene, former WWE US Champion Mr Kennedy – now better known as Ken Anderson – explained that he messed up a spot he was given by Flair but had no idea what he did wrong until it was too late:
I learned one thing from Ric. I took Ric’s class just one time. He kicked me out of the ring.
He had been there for quite a while. So he was like, ‘Just listen to me buddy, I got you.’ So pretty early on, he goes, ‘Up and over schoolboy.’ So I did this beautiful up and over, got my legs wide, landed softly. Deep schoolboy, 1…2… Whistle. Ric had a whistle around his neck. He was like, ‘Get the f**k out.’ He goes, ‘You know what you did wrong?’ I said no. He said, ‘Someone tell him what he did.
He does not even know what he did.’ And it was, how did you know that the guy was coming to do the up and over in the first place. His big thing was, shoot him in, follow him with the squisher. Shoot him in, follow him with another squisher. Now that gives you a reason to outsmart him and do the up and over. Whereas, when I did it out of the blue, it looks like phony preplanned bullsh** like Jim Cornette used to say.
Ric Flair was recently forced to say sorry after making wild drug claims about the death of Hulk Hogan.
