Paul Heyman sounds off the Ric Flair and NWA situation
Jun 6, 2008 - 10:12 AM


Paul Heyman feels WWE was right to stop Ric Flair from appearing on Saturday's NWA Anniversary show in Atlanta. "Well I'm sure before announcing and advertising Flair's appearance, the NWA’s head honcho Robert Trobich—a lawyer, no less—got written confirmation from WWE regarding their contracted personality who was just in a featured match at WrestleMania," Heyman writes on the UK Sun website.

"I mean, surely an attorney at law would have the common sense not to go public with Flair's appearance before having something in writing, right? UH OH. What do you think happens? On the week of the show, as the NWA is doing everything it can to exploit the name of Ric Flair to sell tickets to this event, World Wrestling Entertainment pulls Flair from the show. And get this... the NWA is surprised by WWE's decision." To read the full rant, visit the UK Sun website.

Powell’s POV: Heyman makes a very good point and continues to drive it home throughout the blog. The NWA should have sought permission from WWE before advertising Flair and it's just that simple. It was a naive move on their part to assume that WWE would suddenly allow one of his contracted wrestlers to appear on their event. Even if Flair's camp or someone from WWE said it was cool, they should have protected themselves by getting it in writing.
