He was rolling his wife's luggage when I greeted him. He introduced me to her, I shook both their hands, and then he signed my book. So classy. I met Shawn Michaels 5 minutes before that - same thing, he introduced me to his wife and asked me if I was born again. Both guys were gentlemen.

    Love it when Theo asks questions that the guest hasn’t been asked before

    Ric Flair and Theo Von, WOOOOO! Fantastic interview! Neither of these guys ever gets old. I still watch old videos of Ric in his heyday. Nobody better, funnier or more entertaining.

    A living legend.
    Theo on his way to legend status too.

    the way Theo giggled throughout this is so sweet. Theo met a hero. Bless!
