WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was recently invited over as a guest on ESPN MMA’s “Ariel Helwani” Show.

“Thank god I could talk. Didn’t throw off my thought process with talking.

They didn’t need to be there. That would be Vince [McMahon], Hunter [Triple H], Stephanie [McMahon], my daughters, you know what I mean.” 

Flair knows that all these people have a life of their own, and they are wrapped up in it. But he feels confident that he can talk to any one of them anytime and assures that they feel the same way with him.

Ric discards the saying that people have only five friends after they are fifty years old. He gives his own example and states that he has a lot more than just five friends at seventy-two years old.

We sympathize with Ric Flair. The general public looks at the WWE Superstars and thinks they can’t have problems in their lives.

It’s not the public’s fault all the way as the flashy lifestyle, the money, the fame, etc. of the Superstars makes them to be perceived like this. But we have to remember that people can’t buy happiness, not even with a billion dollars. Humans need other humans.
