The Long Island Press recently did an interview with Ric Flair. Flair talked about about WrestleMania, the infamous road rage incident and more. Here are some excerpts from the interview:

Long Island Press: I had a chance to ask you at a NASCAR race last year how you wanted to close out your career, and you said you wanted to face a top guy and have your finest moment. You've got HBK at WrestleMania? How great is it to get exactly what you wanted?

RF: It's one of the biggest things if not that biggest thing in my life, that in connection with the Hall of Fame. I can't tell you anything different than that. It's huge.

LIP: How much more does it mean that it's HBK, who patterned his career after you, and according to all reports lobbied hard to be the man to face you?

RF: I don't have the words to describe it, if you want the truth. It means that much, is what I'm saying.

LIP: There was a time when you were off TV last year and there were questions about whether this WrestleMania opportunity would happen. At that time, a guy who many would consider your greatest opponent, Sting, was sitting in TNA. Were there any thoughts about exploring that, or did you call Steve Borden about it?

RF: Never. No, I wouldn't have.... It's nothing slighting the other organization. I'm extremely loyal to the people I work for, I'm more than loyal to the McMahons, and that never crossed my thought process at all. Sting's not my greatest opponent. My greatest opponent is Ricky Steamboat. I have a lot of respect for [Sting], but he's not my greatest opponent.
