3) The Reason Why Ric Flair Was Interviewed During The Ricochet And Drew McIntyre Match
On RAW this week, WWE randomly interviewed Ric Flair in the middle of the match between Drew McIntyre and Ricochet. It turns out that WWE was testing something out.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE was attempting to copy professional sports where they often do sideline interviews in the middle of games. Interviewing Flair mid-match was WWE’s way to try and replicate a sideline interview like the NBA and NFL do.
Can’t hate on them for trying something different.
