Paul Heyman wants Ric Flair to stop blubbering, criticizes Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn
Apr 6, 2008 - 11:50 AM


Paul Heyman updated his UK Sun blog on Sunday with thoughts on everything regarding Ric Flair's retirement. He opens by acknowledging that Flair deserved all the accolades and confesses that he cried during Flair's WWE Hall of Fame speech, but he also wishes "Flair would stop crying already."

"But watching Flair cry because Chris Jericho says thank you?," Heyman writes. "Hey, here's John Cena. And he's saluting Flair. Whooop de freakin' do. Yeah yeah, this is basic Thugonomics. What the hell does it have to do with anyone's favorite Flair memories? Cena? Jericho? Where's Fifi the French Maid?..."

"And please, I'm begging someone to tell Vince (McMahon) and Kevin Dunn that f'n song about leaving the memories alone is not something that tugs at the heart, nor does it add to the emotion of a Ric Flair testimonial... That other song is just Vince and Kevin saying: 'Here's the WWE touch to it all that makes it so great.' Get over yourselves." To read Heyman's full blog, visit the UK Sun website.

Powell's POV: Wow, this is a classic Heyman rant. Hilarious. I didn't mind the music as much as he did, but I'm sure he's right about Vince and Dunn feeling they needed to add the WWE touch. It did seem odd that they were introducing current WWE performers along with some of the legends who really made the tribute.

And as Brian Fritz of BetweenTheRopes.com said earlier this week, Flair probably lost 20 pounds in water weight over the weekend due to the number of tears he shed. There was a point when I felt they could have introduced "WWE fan Bob from Kissimmee from section G, seat four" and Naitch would have cried and hugged the guy even if he was wearing a Hulk Hogan t-shirt and never liked the Four Horsemen. That being said, it was a great tribute and I really enjoyed it.
