A number of sources have reported this week that WWE was not happy with RicĀ Flairās 2023 Hall of Fame speech for The Great Muta. Dave Meltzer noted in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that "Flair didnāt read the teleprompter at all and just gave a speech having nothing to do with the script until the very end when he got back on script."
During his podcast, Flair commented:
āI donāt know what they didnāt like about it. You have to remember that 99% of the people in attendance in that building donāt even know who Muta is. Does it make sense? They havenāt performed [against him], well the wrestling people do but Iām saying the audience.ā
āWhat they didnāt like, I guess, as I mentioned, the fact that Iāve been there 64 times, and all the guys that beat me, because I couldnāt do anything about it. I donāt know what theyāre unhappy about. So I didnāt hear it from anybody in the WWE, but thatās not unusual.āĀ
