Ric Flair goes on Howard Stern & addresses Chris Kanyon's firing claims
On Wednesday, October 18, 2006 at 3:52 PM EST Earlier today on The Howard Stern Show, Chris Kanyon returned to the program. During the show, Stern got Ric Flair on the phone to talk about the WWE. The show had actually hoped to have booked Vince McMahon knowing Kanyon would be there, but McMahon was unavailable. Triple H had also been contacted, but he is currently overseas in Japan with the Raw brand.
According to reports, both Kanyon and Flair went back and forth over Kanyon's claims that he was fired by WWE because he revealed he was gay. Flair stated Kanyon wasn't a great worker anymore and that was why he was let go by WWE, not because he was gay. Kanyon disagreed with Flair, bringing up that he was good enough to be on TV from 1995 to 2003. It was said to be a very entertaining segment.
John Cena's comments from earlier about Kanyon were also mentioned. Kanyon stated Flair and Cena wouldn't agree he was fired from WWE for being gay because that is what Vince wanted to hear. In the end, both seemed to agree to disagree.
