– During a recent episode of his podcast (transcript via wrestlinginc.com), Ric Flair spoke about bleeding in wrestling and WWE banning the practice of blading. Here is what he had to say…

“Well, the person that I bled the most with would either be Wahoo McDaniel or Dusty Rhodes. I’d have to say Dusty, probably. We both had no problem doing that. And, it’s not that it’s a lost art. I think it’s just a health precaution and, obviously, it’s safer for the guys not to be doing it. For an old timer like me, I miss it. But I think there are occasions for it, but, obviously, there are health reasons and the safety issues the company has become much more aware of, the concussions, the blood, and stuff like that. I think it was a necessity, but do I miss it? Yes. I can’t critique [or] be critical of the company trying to make it better for the guys, safer.”

He shouldnt be taken as a good example on this, considering he's used as a joke when it comes to blading.

He's actually being quite sensible about it.

WHO IS HE AND WHAT HAS HE DONE WITH THE REAL RIC?

Maybe he didn't have money for booze that night
