Ric Flairs recent back-and-forth with former ROH owner Cary Silkin took an unexpected turn during The Nature Boys appearance on Busted Open Radio. After igniting the wrestling world with fiery tweets accusing Silkin of questionable practicesand threatening to drag him on airFlair seemed to backpedal from his earlier statements.
Cary, Im not going to say anything bad about you, Flair admitted during the live broadcast. I only said that to get people to tune in.
Flairs earlier tweet had promised fireworks, with the wrestling legend writing, Cary Silkin, prepare to live in another country after I get through with you. The post followed accusations from Silkin that Flair owed him $41,000 for missing four signings. Flair responded by posting a private message that criticized Silkins character, further fueling the drama.
While fans were braced for a no-holds-barred takedown, Flairs admission on Busted Open Radio turned the anticipated war of words into something far more subdued. Whether this marks the end of the controversy or merely a strategic pause remains unclear.
As one of wrestlings most controversial figures, Flair has never shied away from the spotlight, and his ability to stir the pot is as sharp as ever. Whether Silkin will respond or let the matter rest is yet to be seen, but Flairs unexpected pivot has left fans scratching their heads.
