Though Ric Flair is technically a member of the AEW roster, having signed a unique contract alongside his Wooooo! Energy to join Sting on his final run before retirement, Vice's new documentary series – Who Killed WCW? -has rapidly brought the former 8-time WCW Champion out of his limousine to take about the company he once headlined and who ultimately ended its viability as WWE's chief competition in the 1990s.

So who, you may wonder, does Flair blame for the demise of the former Jim Crockett Promotions? Well, according to a social media post from “The Man,” it isn't so much who singular but who plural, with three men responsible for ruining the company: Eric Bischoff, Jim Herd, and Vince Russo.

“I've tried to lay low on this, but let's face it- Who Killed WCW? It's a three-headed monster! Jim Herd, Eric Bischoff, and Vince Russo!!!” Ric Flair declared. “There's no individual wrestler or faction that caused anything to kill WCW. It was the people in charge that created dysfunction, animosity, and tried to divide and conquer by lying to everyone and involving themselves in the promotion, which was the ultimate failure! God, I could give you a thousand more examples. I am one to live through all three nightmares and to be saved by the WWE! Thank you to the WWE for bringing someone who was dead in the water as a result of these three people back to life!”

Whoa, interesting stuff, right? Well wait, it gets even better, as Russo fired back despite not being tagged in the initial post, asking the “Nature Boy” if he was partaking in “RUM CANDY” because he is way off base.

“Looks like Ric Flair is hitting that RUM CANDY again!!!” Vince Russo suggested. “Thanks for giving me that much credit. For a writer to take down a multi-million dollar company through words on a page? I guess I really was special. Not my fault you weren't in the Doc, Ric. Sorry, man. I hope you don't think my excessive use of your son David, and the rest of your family for that matter—who were all GREAT BY THE WAY—wasn't the knife that drew the company's last blood. Yeah—I failed at laying low, too.”

Welp, if Russo wanted this to go away, he probably shouldn't have mentioned late Flair's son, as instead of shutting the debate down, he awoke a sleeping giant – a 75-year-old giant who apparently wants to settle things in the ring.

Ric Flair wants to wrestle Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, and Jim Herd.

Summoned into the X debate like Cthulhu from the deep, Ric Flair fired back at Vince Russo in a major way, calling him poor before offering to pay him, Eric Bischoff, and Jim Herd $20k each to show up in Tampa or Atlanta for a PPV… match?

“Wow, glad you got back to me Vince Russo!!! Whatever candy I'm eating, at least I can afford to eat which I'm not sure you can. I would give you $20k, Eric Bischoff $20k, and Jim Herd $20k a piece wired in advance to show up in Tampa or Atlanta. I'll rent the venue in Tampa or Atlanta, it will sell out for sure, so we can hash this out. And I guarantee that I can probably sell this to a PPV status because I'm Ric Flair and you're not. Story of my life!”

$20 grand for a still somewhat confusing PPV event eh? Would Russo, ever one for the dramatics, take “Natch” up on his offer? Well, he, too, responded to being called out and actually tried to take the high road.

“Bro—I never thought I'd be saying this to the GOAT—but—you need to work on those comebacks. No hard feelings, Ric, just really disappointed. Part of me giving David the greatest push in his career was because 1. HE DESERVED IT. He was a Great Human being, EXTREMELY Underrated, with a pair of boots put before him that were impossible to fill. 2. I also did it because of my admiration for you,” Vince Russo explained. “Throughout my entire life, I've never forgotten those who tried to help, were kind to, and encouraged my kids—ask Billy Corgan. But, I guess that's the difference between you and I… our priorities in life were, are, and will always be totally different. My priority was never pro wrestling—it was always my family. I sincerely apologize for making your life a living hell. I didn't realize I did that until today. When we were working together you gave me no indication of that. At the end of the day, I was just trying to do my job. I guess nobody's perfect.

Was Russo being passive-aggressive or sincere in his comments to Flair? Frankly, it's hard to tell, but since Flair hasn't responded yet, it's safe to say even he has something to consider.
