The relationship between Jim Herd and Ric Flair was rocky at best. During their time together in WCW, they ended up unable to work together. Now, it is clear their relationship hasn’t exactly been patched up.
During an interview with Conrad Thompson on AdFreeShows, Herd brought up his latest thoughts on Flair. Here is the quote, courtesy of Fightful:
“There was a lot of controversy with Ric, he…..I just saw Ric a month ago on some show, what’s the guy’s name, the bald headed guy [Steve Austin] who has a show on now, he interviewed Ric. I looked at Ric’s forehead and I said, ‘They must’ve taken part of his ass and put it on his forehead because all those cuts are gone,’ which is great. Ric was a guy that you couldn’t control out in public and he did a lot of different things that we didn’t agree with, Turner didn’t agree with. Believe me, during all this time, if you didn’t get a pass from Turner, you got no pass at all because he controlled everything through me. I took the lumps when they came and as long as I maintained his dynamic, which was making it rain dollars, he didn’t interfere.”
Ric Flair ultimately left WCW over his dealings with Herd in 1991. Famously, he left with the WCW Championship in hand and went to the WWF.
