WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair recently appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including fellow WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker as a locker room leader.
Flair said, “Undertaker was a leader, not only [because he was] basically a great guy, he’s respected. I’ll say across the board, I’ve never seen anybody have the level of respect from everybody, not only because of his skill but because of the kind of guy he was. That’s a different kind of leader. He wasn’t like starting fights and s**t like that. Harley [laughs] wanted everybody in the world to know he was world champion.”
Flair also talked about an encounter that happened between Harley Race and Triple H when The King Of Kings first arrived in WCW.
“So, when Hunter first came into WCW, Harley was managing Leon, Vader, and [Triple H] wanted to meet Harley. I said, ‘Harley, this is Paul Levesque… he’s a big wrestling fan, he’s a big fan of yours, and just wanted to introduce him to the dressing room.’ Harley looked up and said, ‘Nice to meet you, kid,’ and he walked away and he [Triple H] goes, ‘Nice to meet you, Mr. Race.’ He [Race] said, ‘Who trained you?’ [Triple H replied,] ‘Killer Kowalski.’ [Harley replied] ‘He’s the s**ts.’”
