6 Reasons Conrad Thompson Is The Ultimate Wrestling Podcast Sidekick
3. Taming The Nature Boy
Ric Flair is one of the greatest of all time, but after over 40 years in the business, Naitch sometimes lets his vast mental inventory of events take over speeches and interviews. His intentions are pure but he just can't rein it in sometimes. For example, see Sting's hall of fame induction speech. Naitch tried his best but went up down and around in introducing the Icon.
No doubt The Nature Boy still has the chops, but if we are being honest, he tends to get off topic. Enter Conrad Thompson. A close friend of Naitch and the owner of the famous ConRadisson in Huntsville, AL, Conrad keeps Ric on task by steering him on the path to an entertaining podcast. We all listen for the 16 time world champ, but the cog in the machine has to be Conrad. Whether its Ric's story to Torrie Wilson about her rejecting a ride on Space Mountain, or the 'Ask Naitch' series where no holds are barred, Conrad drives the train and keeps The Ric Flair Show the best podcast going today, and if you don't like it, well, learn to love it!
