Ric Flair calls Vince McMahon his "hero"

[Chris]

While appearing on the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Ric Flair revealed that Vince McMahon is his "hero."

Flair made the statement after the subject of McMahon's sexual misconduct scandal was brought up. Flair said he judges people by how they treat him, and no one in the pro wrestling business has ever treated him with more respect than McMahon.

Rogan: When he was getting involved in scandals and there was like girls that he had paid off, I just wanted to say: Duh. Like, duh. You've got an 80-year-old savage who's built like a f*cking gladiator. Gee, you think he f*cks? What do you think? You think Vince McMahon is doing that just for f*cking hee-hees and haw-haws? No, of course he's got some floozies on the side.
Flair: He’s my hero.
Rogan: That guy's an animal.
Flair: I judge people by how they treat me and he has treated me like -- I’ve never had anyone treat me with more respect ever in this business. He’s a great guy. I don’t care what he does. He’s my hero.

McMahon retired from WWE amid the sexual misconduct scandal in July 2022 but returned to power this January. McMahon assumed the role of executive chairman upon his return and remains in that role following Endeavor's acquisition of WWE.

In December 2022, McMahon agreed to a multi-million dollar legal settlement with former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who accused McMahon of raping her in 1986. McMahon's lawyer Jerry McDevitt said that McMahon "denies and always has denied raping Ms. Chatterton" but settled the case "solely to avoid the cost of litigation."

Flair recently made an appearance for WWE when he inducted The Great Muta into the WWE Hall of Fame over WrestleMania 39 week.

WWE and Peacock's "Woooooo! Becoming Ric Flair" documentary is one of five nominees in the Outstanding Long Documentary category at this year's Sports Emmy Awards.

Having this stance always sounds very bad, if you think about it. It basically sounds like it's okay if a person murders, rapes or runs around being the biggest racist... "as long as they treat me perfectly, I consider them being the greatest person of all time"

I legit don’t know what’s wrong with him lmao. What a stupid response is “as long as someone is nice to me they can be a rapist”
