Ric Flair returning to podcasting
Starting on Wednesday, July 6th, wrestling icon Ric Flair will be returning to podcasting as part of the MLW Radio family.
His team reached a deal with the Court Bauer-run MLWRadio.com to launch “The Ric Flair Show”, released every Wednesday on their website, iTunes, and Stitcher. In a sense, Flair will replace Konnan on MLW Radio as he had left for a slot on Podcast One’s new Chris Jericho programmed ‘network’.
Flair’s previous show (“WOOOOOO! Nation” on CBS Radio’s PlayIt) with host Conrad Thompson went on hiatus after Flair’s contract expired and his side decided not to renew.
Flair, 67, is currently not being used on television by WWE after a storyline breakup with daughter Charlotte, the women’s champion.
MLW currently has podcasts hosted by Bauer, Jim Cornette, friend of the site Matt Farmer, Kevin Sullivan, and more.
