    Regarding Ric Flair, what I've heard throughout the years is that he ruins friendships over his ego, and it's always a one way friendship. Scott Hall was probably the most honest on what is like to deal with Ric during an interview.

Not to mention Hunter went out of his way to speak highly of Flair publicly, until that infamous episode of "Dark Side of The Ring" came out.

    Sad to hear Arn and Flair are not friends any more. As long as I remember, where Flair went Arn was there backing him up. Once WCW folded I assumed they stayed as friends. My personal opinion is Flair needs to grow up. He is not forgotten by not being the spotlight and could have been a hands on mentor or backstage to thousands of wrestlers. Instead he kept pushing to be in the spotlight taking time away from wrestlers in a company that failed the wrestlers by focusing on Flair and other over the hill wrestlers that show time of being well past their prime. I remember a program between Flair and Hogan that was just horrible, they moved too slow could not take bumps and the bumps they took had me wondering if they were okay due to their age. As for Punk does he have any friends or only when he works with them in the same company? Friendships are hard to come by and those who reached out to mend the fences, glad to hear they did.

(2) Arn sided with one of Ric's ex-wives during the latte's divorce proceedings. (3) Arn simply grew tired of Ric's wild antics (i.e. the partying, womanizing, etc.).

    The situation between Randy and Kennedy was definitely exasperated. Randy complained, not asked let alone demanded for Kennedy's firing. Now John Cena inserting himself into the equation is really suspicious. I believe it's Cena who truly got Kennedy pulled. There's no reason Cena had to jump into Randy's situation like that. Randy was definitely over and had hella pull backstage at that time after paying his dues early on, so Randy could've got Kennedy pulled on his own if he really wanted to with no boost. According to certain wrestlers testaments, Cena really did sound like Hogan backstage when it comes to politics. This reminds me of that situation with Hogan and Ventura back in the day when Ventura was schooling other wrestlers on getting payed what they were worth and understanding the value of their brands rather than accepting crabs in a bucket.

What's funny is Taker had that stroke all the way up until he retired, yet never had to sabotage anyone else's career underhandedly. For people like Foley or Taker to say something towards the repremanding let alone firing of another wrestler that wrestler really legit had to be guilty of whatever they would've said seeing it is no wrestler ever had anything negative to say backstage about them no matter who it's been over the span of their careers.

    alot of Trips and Flair issue is HOF where vince told trips to axe his speech as was too long, Trips didnt want to but being company man did so and i think flair blames him for it.

    I'm not sure about everyone else but the wildest "breakup" is between Flair and Arn with Flair and Hunter being a close second.

    this was difficult for me to watch because I've had lots of falling out with people I thought were my friends. It's a shame we live in a judgmental society where as long as everything is placid, nothing happens, but the second you reveal something about your sexuality. beliefs. and values.. Some people show who they really are towards you and that is the saddest thing of all in hearing all these tales.

    At least with Shane/Raven it came from other people and not from the both of them.

      And if it was Shane's parents who asked they not be friends that leads me to believe they were concerned about shane. Maybe they thought maven was a bad influence? Maybe raven was bringing out the worst in shane?
