Ric Flair-Lacey Evans storyline disappeared after the pregnancy of the Sassy Southern Belle. Ric Flair sat down for an interview with Busted Open Radio, and the WWE Hall of Famer opened up his ideas for the storyline WWE rejected.
The Nature Boy had many plans, but they could not be realized because WWE simply did not allow him to enter the ring. While Ric Flair claimed his doctors acquitted him, WWE officials were unwilling to see him get physical.
“I did have a few ideas. The problem was they didn’t want me to come into the ring because it’s so hard to get me out because of my health problems. Even though I’m approved by my doctors, I just do it. I don’t think they are willing to let me in the ring If something happened it never would be like I could have 40 releases but it could be why the hell are you doing it why did you the hell does he do that? “
It would have been nice: Ric Flair reveals the ideas he pitched for Lacey Evans storyline
Ric Flair would reveal some of the creative ideas he had in mind for the Lacey Evans angle. Flair wanted to train with Evans and show her how to match him. The WWE legend believed Lacey Evans, incorporating the best aspects of his character and in-ring work, would have helped the RAW storyline.
“I actually wanted to, you know, put on sweat clothes and train with her, which I thought would have been great. You know, teach her some stuff and just let her follow my character. Yeah, do the flips, suplex in, turn (laughs) Oh, I had it all written down, but they wouldn’t let me in the ring. I had the master plan; it would have been fun (laughs). “
Ric Flair added while Evans was initially upset about the storyline being canceled, the Superstar would later realize the joys of welcoming another child into the world.
“It never came out, and I’m glad it turned out like that, especially for her, because I think she was a little upset, a little bit. But then she said, ‘Gosh, I have a baby. is what should happen. I’m young. I have a beautiful daughter and I have a second one on the way. So everyone wants to be on TV, but in this case she won’t be on TV for a while. It’s to be a very great reason that we are all aware of. “
Ric Flair noted that Lacey Evans is far from expected to appear on WWE TV, and the company also appeared to have booked a segment on last week’s RAW to write the Nature Boy off TV.
