10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 4)
2. Ric Flair Chose To Watch Hell In A Cell's Main Event As A Fan
Up until the May 23, 2016 edition of Monday Night Raw, Ric Flair was by his daughter Charlotte's side for most of her matches. Managing his little girl must have been a proud moment for the 'Nature Boy', although he has since stated that it's better she strikes out on her own.
Via his own podcast this week, Ric talked about Charlotte's main event alongside Sasha Banks from Hell In A Cell. Naturally laying out how proud he was for both, Flair revealed that he didn't actually know what the finish to the match was before watching it.
This was through choice, as- Ric asked that nobody tell him what was going to happen. Watching as a fan, the legendary grappler believed that the bout was over when Banks suffered an eye-catching bump through the announce table.
Flair thought that WWE wanted to hark back to Mick Foley being dragged out on a stretcher at King Of The Ring 1998, and was surprised when the match continued. It's astounding to think that Ric Flair wanted to look on just like any other fan during one of his daughter's biggest ever matches.
