Ric Flair says he was “banned” from WWE WrestleMania 42 because he threatened to beat up Ludwig Kaiser

[What happened there?] Well, they had that thing, you know, where, Tiffany made this smart remark about Ashley [Charlotte Flair]’s divorces, which we both know she’s not smart enough to have written. Somebody gave her the script. And then, he implied that, I’m just going based on social media once again, which is a lot, that he was implying that he wouldn’t bum one-off Ashley. And I went, ‘okay, I need your number.’ I got it. Which I can get anybody’s number I want any minute of any day. And I call him, I said, ‘hey, when I see you, I’m gonna beat the sh*t out of you.’ So he went like a little bitch, told Hunter [Triple H], and I wasn’t allowed to go.

He’s gonna really go far in the business. A 76-year-old man tells a 24-year-old kid he’s going to kick his ass. And where is he now? Is he even on the roster?

[Is this Ludwig Kaiser?] Yeah, little punk.

[He’s actually in Mexico right now.] I’m sure he is. I hope he stays.

[So since then, since that interaction, you’ve been told to stay away?] No, but I just, I know this is sad to say, but because of the relationships I have with guys like Taker, who’s real, Austin, who’s real, and all this— if you were behind the lines, like, even though I’m not there, I know everything because I know everybody.

There should be a red carpet for me, a red carpet to the front row. And that’s how I feel about it. What my contributions in this business and the work that I put in, hours, hours, hours of trying to make wrestling something that it is today, and I gotta have problems with Oh, politics? Give me a break. Come on. I mean, I’m not mad at anybody. I understand it’s politics now. It’s too much politics and not, not enough wrestling.”
