On the latest edition of Something to Wrestle, WWE Senior Vice President Bruce Prichard reflected on WrestleMania X8, where Ric Flair battled The Undertaker in No DQ match. Check out the highlights below.
On Ric Flair doubting himself ahead of the bout:
“Ric wasn’t ready for it. I think if you were to ask Ric, I think Ric had a lot of self-doubt as to whether or not he could perform at a WrestleMania level with The Undertaker. I think Ric was the only one that had that doubt as Taker was confident that it would be a great match, and everyone around knew, ‘Ric, get your confidence back, man. You’ve got this. You’re in there with Undertaker, and he’s gonna make sure you look like a million bucks.’ Which he did, and Ric has always been able to step up to the occasion and deliver. He may have self-doubt going in, but once Ric walks out through that arena whether he’s wearing a suit or a robe, it clicks in. He doesn’t think about what he does, he feels what he does.”
Bruce shares his thoughts on the match:
“I thought it was excellent in every way. I thought that Undertaker remade Flair in that and gave Flair all the props that he needed. It looked like it was a brutal encounter on every single end. So, to that, kudos to both guys.”
