WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently appeared on the Inside The Ropes podcast. The full INTERVIEW is at this link. They sent the following highlights in:

Recent comments about getting back in the ring:

"Physically I'm more than capable but it's a cosmetic issue now so I'd need time to prepare. I've always wanted to manage Dolph Ziggler but ya know if they were to ask me to get back in the ring tomorrow my answer would be yes and I could work with anybody. I've actually worked with Ziggler before when he was in the group (Spirit Squad) I love all those kids. I think I've had enough of Brock Lesnar, I don't think I could do that one again. I don't think I could take 17 German suplexes. I could work with any of the kids but I don't think that's going to happen, I just meant I'm physically cleared to go out there and bounce around or drop an elbow on a sports coat. I'd love to be a part of it again."

The Undertaker's legacy and Taker saluting him at Flair's RETIREMENT:

"First of all, I think the world of him personally. He's a wonderful person. On top of being one of the top ten performers of all time, he's got the greatest gimmick in the history of the business. When I first started coming to EUROPE with him in the 90's, I had no idea. There were ten thousand people dressed up like The Undertaker. I had no idea how much of an impact he made over here. I was very surprised he did that. Not because he doesn't respect me but he just doesn't come out in public. You know you're never gonna see him at the front row at the Hall of Fame. He's backstage listening to every work. It's not that he's not in attendance, he's back there with Vince. He's a wonderful guy."

Memories of the Randy Savage MATCH at WrestleMania 8:

"It's funny because it was just an average match. There was so much tension at that time between Randy and Liz. As a matter of fact, that was the last time they were together, they split the next day. It was just very uncomfortable. Not working with Randy or Liz individually, they're great people but there was just tension between them and that was the last time they worked together there. I thought the match was OK but it could've been better and it wasn't out individual abilities there was just a lot going on behind the scenes that people weren't aware of. I felt bad. I was honoured to be a part of it and be in a main event at WrestleMania but there was so much going on behind the scenes that I felt bad for everybody involved. Not for me, but they were going their separate ways and it was difficult. He cared for her a great DEAL."
