Ric Flair Interview

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.
