Here's another fairly one-sided issue, albeit one that has switched.

Ric Flair has palmed most of Shane Douglas' remarks off over the past two-three decades, but it must surely annoy the 'Nature Boy' that Shane criticised him so heavily in his younger days. During shoot interviews, Douglas has claimed to try and make amends with Flair in person.

If both guys have been cordial in person at various fan signings, then it certainly doesn't show online. Flair even recently blasted Shane's qualifications for future WWE Hall Of Fame treatment on his podcast - there, Ric asked the question: "Who is Shane Douglas? Who is he today?".

The root of all this aggro is that Douglas believes Flair (who was booker at the time) held him down in WCW during the early-1990s. Shane wanted to work with Ric higher up the card, but Mr. 'Space Mountain' wasn't for it and that left a bitter taste in Douglas' mouth.

Now, most of the beef seems to come from Flair's side.
