10 Most Notorious Christian Urban Legends

5. He Hated Going Back To TNA As Part Of Ric Flair Hall Of Fame Deal

http://youtu.be/oop10qpvElc Story: In 2012, WWE decided to induct Ric Flair into their Hall of Fame for the second time as part of the Four Horsemen stable. Flair was already inducted in the WWE HOF in 2008, but they wanted to honor him a second time. The problem was that Flair was under contract to TNA Wrestling. TNA ended up okaying the deal although they wanted to have a former TNA performer appear on their programming one more time. That agreement led to Christian appearing on TNA Slammiversary in 2012. His TNA name was Christian Cage, so that's what he was introduced as by Hulk Hogan. His old music and video played as he entered the ring to deliver a promo. He delivered a promo talking about how even though the people have changed and the ring might have changed, nothing has changed is the fans. He told the fans to give themselves a round of applause for supporting TNA for ten years. Then he set up a video for the number one moment in TNA history. That was it for Christian in TNA. Did he want to be there? Only he knows. It was an awkward sight seeing a contracted WWE performer in a TNA ring, but he was told to go so that's what he did. Why People Believe It: It's something that had never been done before, so it's understandable that he would feel awkward about it. Should We Believe It: Without hearing it from him, it's hard to know exactly what he felt. However, the whole thing felt really weird and there were also online reports that he was uncomfortable with it, so it's probably true.
