Ric Flair’s podcast WOOOOO! Nation has been going strong for about a year now. Ric and his co-host Conrad Thompson have had plenty of great guests and has been a platform for Ric to speak his mind. Kurt Angle, Sting, Jeff Hardy, Hulk Hogan and many more former WWE stars have appeared on the show to recount old stories and talk about current events with the Nature Boy. You can listen to past episodes at Play.It.
If you are an avid fan of the show (like myself) you would know that we haven’t seen a show since WrestleMania 32 weekend. This was odd, considering it was usually a weekly show. This had many fans speculating that the show was finished for good.
According to Flair’s co-host Conrad, the show isn’t ending, it is just on hiatus due to a money issue. It appears that Ric wants more money and terminated the contract with CBS. It is unclear when this will be resolved.
Here were the tweets confirming the news that it was on hiatus and not officially over:
@KEVINHOLSOMBACK Ric terminated the contract. That’s all I will say

@ApplebyHoratio no sir. Canceled implies CBS did it. Ric terminated contract. Podcast with CBS is on hiatus. It’s not done

I really hope they figure this out as WOOOOO! Nation is one of my favorite wrestling podcasts! Listening to Ric Flair share old stories and talk with old friends is very fun every week. I guess it depends on if you were a big Flair fan growing up or not. Let us know your thoughts about this and if you want it back on the air! I hope they can figure it out and we get more episode’s of WOOOOO! Nation in the future! WOOOOO!
