Nothing is more important than the business to Vince McMahon. WWE didn’t just become a sports entertainment giant overnight. McMahon gave his whole life to pushing WWE to great heights. So when it comes to business, McMahon is never ready to hear any excuse, even if it is his employees not in a position to do the needful.

That being said, Ric Flair recently opened up about an incident when despite him and his iconic rival Sting being unfit to wrestle, McMahon forced them to do so. Let’s hear what he had to say about it.

Ric Flair details the incident in his podcast

The latest edition of the To Be The Man podcast features Sting. While taking a trip down his most iconic rivalry with on-screen nemesis, The Nature Boy shed light upon the incident when McMahon forced both the stars to wrestle without taking their health into consideration.

The match that Slick Ric is talking about is the last episode of Monday Nitro. It was March 2001, and the place was Panama City, Floria. McMahon had bought the WCW at the time. The first-ever Monday Nitro witnesses the two iconic rivals, so it made sense to end with them.

“I vehemently argued with Vince [McMahon]. I wasn’t in shape to wrestle,” he said. He added, “I wore a T-shirt and I just let Bischoff shave my head. I had a crew cut, right? I mean, I had your hair from before. Does that make sense? With the spike? I had a T-shirt because I was so fat and you just had shoulder surgery, right? Or something like that?”

The Icon then clarifies it was not a shoulder injury but an elbow injury. In fact, both his elbows were injured at the time. Flair mentioned that he even went to Shane McMahon to request him to cancel their match but to no avail.

“But he [ Vince McMahon] insisted. I mean, I argued with Shane McMahon all day. I said Sting and I aren’t ready. Why can’t we be remembered for what we were because this won’t be like tonight? It was just a smidgen of what you and I brought to the business,” he continued.

The ending segment of the match saw The Vigilante put Flair in his submission hold, the ‘Scorpion Deathlock.’ This forced the Flair to tap out and thus the night marked the victory of Sting along with the official ending of Monday Night Wars.
