Mark Madden on: the TRUTH about his fallout with Ric Flair 

WRESTLEMANIA 38 predictions ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zH90NuJ4wEo.html

Flair giving short answers and not being able to tell stories wont be a problem on Conrad's shows as commercials take up about 2 hours of each episode.

if Flair keeps falling out with people then he's the problem, it can't always be someone else's fault.

The way Madden was able to interrupt disco's interruptions was great.

man, Madden sounds genuinely hurt, not bitter. Flair is a lonely old man.

It's amazing how Madden powered through most of Disco's interruptions. Just imagine what else we could have heard Madden and other past guests say if we weren't subjected to Disco's "let me ask you this.." followed by some nonsense question.

Let's be honest, we have all idealized Ric Flair more than he deserves.

Mark took the high road in this interview.

Madden got done dirty, plain and simple. He did his best to hold that podcast together. Trying to manage a conversation where Flair was either giving one word answers, or going off on tangents that led pretty much nowhere? It was like herding cats. It had fun moments, but a whole lot of filler. Glad Mark's (trying) to take the high road here. I think a lot of people have that one friend who is just exhausting. Sometimes you just gotta cut 'em loose.

Marks kind of lucky he won’t have to hear “does that make sense?” 40x a week

even when Flair had the 1st podcast with Conrad Madden makes the point Flair can not tell a story he is all over the place he did it on the 1st Conrad podcast

Ric has a BAD habit of having people EXILED from his life that doesn't agree with how he operates in life..... #sad

Ric Flair has proven to be such a God-awful person that the 'Nature Boy Gimmick' (Which he ripped off by the way), is all he has left. He's basically clinging to it.

As much as a pompous ass Madden seems, he's actually quite rational and I'm only surprised the fallout took this long.

I have been a Ric Flair fan since being a child. It makes me sad he doesn't speak to Arn Anderson. It makes me even more sad he doesn't talk to his son David.

He's so cocky, he's so cool, he's just a disco dancing fool🕺🕺🕺🕺

So true. Flair just had one word answers on the Podcast. Couldn’t listen to one full episode

So basically Ric Flair Almost dies and separates from his 5th wife because he can’t stop partying?

Not a Madden fan, but he was OVERLY respectful to Flair. Always having to plug Charlotte, beg him to answer questions, etc. I wish Flair wouldn’t have done the podcast. Sometimes our hero’s REAL personalities can be disappointing.

Heard about this on Don Tony's show the other night. I think he said it perfectly how Mark did everything he could to keep Ric on point and interesting. Mark wanted a great podcast and Ric just wanted drinking money and the last bit of relevancy. So sad.

Wow, if Flair really divorced his wife who nursed him through his near death experience so that he can “have fun” that is truly pathetic. And sadly, I find it very easy to believe that Madden is telling the truth here. Ric Flair is the living embodiment of the saying don’t meet your heroes.

I think Ric's clearly a unhappy man. For years and years possibly his entire adult life his private life has been ruled by his professional life and being the "Nature Boy" being the Top guy, partying with the boys. Now a lot of those boys are sadly no longer with us....he's too old to get in the ring and do what he's always done. He's lost. And its Sad.

Can’t even imagine how many millions Ric has gone through over the last 50 years.

It's going to lead to Conrad hating his father in law.

Tony Khan wouldn't let Flair come to a birthday party because of something that was said on Dark Side Of The Ring yet he invited him in the first place even though Flair's had a problematic history for like 30-40 years? ok Tony buddy, you're so righteous.

It’s painfully clear that Ric will do the podcast with Conrad for a few weeks or months then quit. The big question is does he destroy his relationship with Conrad in the process. Very sad.

I have to disagree with Mark Madden on only one thing. Flair's podcast with David Manning was actually very entertaining when they did that several years ago. Manning is just like Flair but eventually grew up and out of loving that party lifestyle but he has plenty of great stories to tell

Wow… I’m just finding out about this split. I just listened to Ric’s podcast with Mark Madden just a few days ago. I did not see this coming. I think Mark kept the energy of the show more than Ric unfortunately. Most days Ric seemed uninterested. Not much of a conversationalist.

Ric flair has never been good on a podcast no matter who is with him on it

What a shame... I actually liked their partnership. Madden played the straight man and Flair would tell stories, while mixing up with sports. I doubt Conrad and Flair will last, just like last time.

Madden has my respect for not burying Flair like he could. He's a better person than me, because I'd give him both barrels as far as clapping back. He was a pro's pro on that podcast with Flair, and the only reason it held together was Madden doing yeoman's work to keep on topic.

Fuk me disco keeps interrupting, don't listen regularly is that standard or just here

Mark in his tweet saying he was leaving was polite and professional and Ric had to open his mouth

Very true. I didn’t know who madden was prior to the Woo Podcast, I only watched to hear stories from Flair and his insight. It was really disappointing for the most part. Sometimes Madden would ask a fun, thought provoking question, and Ric Flair would just give a “Yup” or a “nope” and then it would get quiet. Check out the clip of his thoughts on ECW.

Mark tried his best with Ric, Flair was off track most of the time. His original podcast with Conrad failed because of his own poor effort

I enjoyed their podcast. My only issue with Mark Madden was the volume of his mic. It was always louder compared to Ric's and it was very distracting. I've always been a big fan of Ric Flair. I started watching wrestling back in the mid 80's and loved those Jim Crockett days. I'd say Ric is probably my 2nd favorite wrestler of all time just behind Sting. I had the pleasure of meeting Flair twice for autographs/photos and both times were very recent and enjoyable. I'm also a big fan of The 4 Horsemen and they've remained my favorite faction. I think his daughter is a great wrestler in her own right. Yes, the Flair name helped her, but I think she's earned every bit of success she has. All that said, it does hurt seeing Ric behave the way he does these days. Despite what Ric says, he's not gonna find better friends than the ones he's made while working in the wrestling business. And It's hard to watch him throw that away. Friends such Arn Anderson, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and possibly Tully Blanchard. I keep Ric in my prayers. I know he has a good heart but I feel like he's a bit lost at the moment.

Damn! That's "hot news" quick! CONGRATS K100! BEST PODCAST EVER!

The thing is with Flair & podcasting is he's told all his stories so many times on numerous platforms

"Hey Mark, Ric Flair fired your ass, wooo" Yeah - and between the two of them which one can still pay their bills on time?

I wonder what Ric thinks about soccer? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

As great as ric might have been in his pro wrestling career, he's one hell of a shit human being lmao. Then he wonders why noone sent him messages when he split with his latest "wife". The true embodiment of never meet your heroes in real life.

Flair hurts everyone close to him. Borderline personality disorder is most likely here.

"When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things." 1 Cor 13:11 Ric is a 73 year old child.

Flair has a terrible time keeping podcasts going

I had no idea David doesn't speak to Ric anymore. Maybe David and Mark can do a podcast together.

This continues the adventures of Mark Madden.....

Look, all Ric flair did was call you out on your bullshit when you lied to all the viewers about "quitting"

Reading between the lines sounds likes Madden's got some serious dirt on Flair. Shame to hear Flair is drinking heavily again, he really was lucky to survive the coma a few years ago.

The Narcissist Ric Flair.

I’m gonna miss Ric saying “does that make sense?” every 5 seconds

I’ve never been a Madden fan, but he was doing the best work with Flair by far. I actually subscribed and watch a bunch of it. After a while, it did seem like Madden was pulling teeth

What a surprise? Ric Flair chose partying over being a responsible adult!.. Guys like Flair always go into business for themselves. Madden Shouldn’t be surprised

I never understood the reverence for Flair--at least by those in the wrestling business. From all the stories I've heard, he seems like just as big of a me-first egomaniac as Hogan.

Most wrestlers from this era are adult babies. They act like teenagers throughout their entire life Bc they’ve never had to have a real job or be accountable. They take no responsibility for their actions then when they’re too old to wrestle and have blown all their fortune drinking, partying, and doing drugs. They start playing a victim and asking for handouts instead of getting a real job like the rest of society.

I'm not a big Mark Madden fan, most of his opinions are the opposite of mine but he did nothing wrong here as Mark said. I tried watching a few of the new Flair podcasts & Mark always tried his best to move the conversation, shame Flair is always willing to burn bridges

Mark is entertaining and always put Ric over at every turn. It is strange that Ric and Mark seem to not be able to keep friends. Figured they'd get along good

He insulted a national hero on his way out? Who did he insult?

Well I wanna hear it. Here's to hoping Flair keeps poking the bear and we can have story time with Mark Madden

Never been a Madden fan but he's 10000% in the right here

I was ric flair fan for years and I guess it's so true never meet your heros

I listened to the latest episode. Yeah the podcast was a mess. I gotta give Madden credit for trying to keep the show flowing around Flairs nonsense

Flair is an alcoholic & just not a good dude. He’s always the common denominator. I like Ric Flair, but I don’t like Richard Fliehr.

Ric Flair is own worst enemy.

“Ric Flair fired your fat ass….woooooo” 😂😂😂😂

I hate to agree with Mark Madden but yeah Ric is terrible at podcasts. You can't listen to any clip of that podcast for more than 45 seconds.

I think Ric is an alcoholic and i don't mean that hurtfully because i got sober 13 years ago. An alcoholic will forsake everyone in order to get his drink

I’m siding w/ Mark. Flair to me doesn’t know how to act his age. The marital situation and Shidd. Your not in your 20’s or 30’s. I guess this is the example of living your gimmick to the fullest.

Madden is annoying, Flair is annoying. Why are you guys pretending to not know why the show didn't work?

Ric Flair's biggest problem is that he thinks he's Ric Flair. In reality, he's a selfish, broken down, alcoholic sociopath.

They deserved each other. They should be arrested and sentenced to twenty years in the same cell together. They could use Mark's voice at Guantanamo Bay to torture prisoners. Wow!!!

BTW, I feel you guys and Wrestling Soup are the only ones that gave Madden credit or the benefit of the doubt about the controversy with the Flair podcast. Everyone else was just calling Madden a fat f**k after the fallout, so props to you guys. I saw Madden try

The kitchen background was pretty lame there madden.

So another person confirms Flair is a POS.

I'm surprised, the fallout took so long. I'm not a fan of madden at all, but he was keeping flair on point as much as possible becasuse flair completely runs off on the same ol stories that often just go back to drinking and non detailed road stories. Also, why the hell does disco keep interrupting?

Ric was an awesome performer… but he’s pretty much been a disaster in everything else

Wow mark Madden really thinks he is a big deal he does Pittsburgh sports talk radio and wcw announcing and he was awful out of Pittsburgh nobody cares about him

Flair is a terrible terrible podcaster. Whether it's Madden or Conrad previously. Flair seems completely uninterested in doing it......why would anyone want to listen? Nauseating.

Flair likely suffers from Peter Pan Syndrome. All of his friends have matured and aren't into the bachelor lifestyle anymore, so they no longer have anything in common with Ric. That's my guess as to why his friendships have eroded. There's no hope for Ric unless he gets therapy.

Wow. This is insane. Damn, The Dirtiest Player in the Game can't Change. The Nature Boy is living his Way Down The School of Hard Knocks Road Highway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn’t listen to Mark Madden. He was always screaming into the mic. His audio was always dry and Ric room sounds terrible. Ruined the podcast for me.

Mark is 1000% the best for hockey talk in Pittsburgh and solid for football. He plays the heel well and people buy the hell out of it, maybe a little too much. He also tells the straight $%&^ sometimes with that heel persona and less intelligent people just get all offended. I'm sure he loves it.

I've unsubscribed from Wooo Nation

I’m 10 seconds in and wondering how many times Mark will say “Am I the best announcer?” “Am I any good?” “Did I take the high road?” “Please tell me I’m not worthless.”

Flair is just in a weird point in his life.

too many liverpool fans on this clip. filth.. Mark can actually talk about footy well for a yank.

Madden sucked up to Flair for years, now he's acting like he never cared. It's hilarious. The bottom line is, 50 years from now people will still be talking about Ric Flair's greatness and not a single person will remember who Mark Madden was.

90% of the Flair/Madden podcast was Madden asking Flair a question and Flair saying "I don't know" and then maybe rambling for 20 seconds before Madden had to move on to another topic. Flair didn't seem like he had any interest in doing the podcast.

Ric "The Nature Boy WWE SHILL" Flair having a fallout with someone is so not F'N Surprising

if u can't do for Ric he doesn't need u he's turns on everybody

Aw.... I liked their work together. I felt MM's brash style fit Flair's personality well. Honestly surprised.

Ric Flair is not a good podcast talker 💯💯💯

it's sad that even at Ric's age, he's still surrounded by hangers-on. Marks & leeches.

does Conrad even have the time to do another podcast? I wonder if this means that Something To Wrestle With will come to an end.

Waaaaaaaay too many ad breaks. Terrible.

Never liked Madden but I wanted to shake his hand because he’s walking away from the bitter reality of drunk Flair and the cessspool of pro wrestling. He’s right, nobody has aged less gracefully than Ric Flair.

Did Madden call switchblade Jay White the biggest American Star in in New Japan wrestling? Isn't Jay White from new zealand?

Flair is the biggest backstabbing pos I’ve ever heard. He’s like a woman, he will be nice to someone’s face and then do a shoot interview and just bury everyone. Piper, Savage and Hogan are the only ones I’ve never heard Flair say anything bad about

Conrad is taking a real risk here of starting a rift in the family. This isn't Ric's first podcast attempt. It's not gonna be good and Ric will need a fall guy. He's just not a good podcaster. It's ok, not everybody can be I didn't know that he doesn't even talk to his son David anymore. Wow. Sad.

Flair is definitely in overtime. He's lucky to be here.

Madden is right about Flair not being conversational... from the handful of clips I’ve seen it’s seemed more as if Flair was expecting Mark to tell the stories so he can just be reflective rather than discussing his insights on moments. Part of it honestly might just be age and mileage.. Flair might not even realize he’s acting as disrespectful as he is.
