In the latest episode of his podcast, ‘To be the Man’, the WWE Hall of Fame Ric Flair shares the days of his wrestling career. There, he talked about the time when the wrestlers not only have to face the brutality inside the ring but in the locker rooms as well.

According to Flair, the former owner Vince McMahon used to yell at the wrestlers if the match didn’t go as he expect.

It didn’t just make the superstars uncomfortable, but the former owner himself had to pay a price for his strive.

The price McMahon paid for his strive for perfection

Former WWE employee Jim Cornette once revealed how Vince McMahon made his health suffer because of his strive for perfection. According to Cornette, McMahon used to yell at the wrestlers and practice the promos repeatedly. It affected his voice a lot and as he got older, his voice became more and more hoarse.

It is true that the wrestlers from the 70s and 80s era have endured Vince McMahon’s wrath to a greater extent, since he was setting up his wrestling empire and was quite ruthless.

Now, Vince McMahon has lowered his burden and usually just looks after the minor work. And when it comes to interacting with the superstars regarding creative work, then as Flair says, stars are very lucky that Triple H has taken over this responsibility.
