‘The Deadman’ had a lot of respect for Ric Flair and often honored him. In a recent interview with Wrestling Inc. Daily, ‘The Nature Boy’ shared a message Taker sent to him last year:
“Happy Thanksgiving Champ!! Thank you for carrying this business and setting the bar of greatness! The bar we all strived to reach and very few have even gotten close to! Then, now and forever you are ‘The Champ’!! So proud to call you my friend.”
