According to sources, Ric Flair slipped up during this weeks taping of Smackdown. Ric Flair reportedly told Natalya to ‘Go Kill Herself’ during the ‘Ambrose Asylum’ segment on Smackdown featuring Dean Ambrose, Charlotte, Nattie and Flair. Here is the report and context of what happened:
Thanks to @WWRpodcast for the report and context of this story.
Seems like it was a mistake but still a pretty bad one. Anytime you tell someone to kill themselves in today’s day and age it is going to get bad press. I understand that Flair likely got heated and forgot that the WWE is a PG product. This is a line that would fly back in his heyday. Times have changed and suicide is a huge issue in society and as you can imagine, his actions will likely have a poor reaction from people.
I don’t think Flair meant it maliciously or anything, just was in the heat of the moment. Will update when we know more about the situation! I am guessing the WWE is going to edit this out for this weeks show!
Let us know your thoughts on the situation.
