Ric Flair on Vince McMahon's WWE Retirement, "I Hate It"

WWE legend Ric Flair doesn't mince words when it comes to his feelings on Vince McMahon's retirement...outright saying he hates it!

McMahon, 76, retired last week after decades as Chairman and CEO of WWE...so when Nature Boy joined the TV show "TMZ Sports" (which airs weeknights on FS1) this week, we asked him if his former boss should have stayed at work.

"Yeah, I think he's one of a kind and I said that," Flair tells us, adding that Vince has made a lot of careers out of his genius.

"He made so many people rich and he literally made chicken salad out of a lot of chicken shit. Mojo knows what I'm talking about. He made a lot of people rich."

Flair went on to say that he does not approve of the allegations against McMahon (Vince is being investigated by a law firm hired by WWE for allegedly paying off several former female employees with whom he allegedly had relationships).

“I mean they are just trying to murder him now and who knows and all. than anyone and what he has done for me, there is no one like him."

As for the future of the best wrestling organization in the world (McMahon bought the company from his father in 1982), Flair says the company is in good hands with Vince's daughter and current WWE executive Stephanie McMahon.

"I think Stephanie is a genius!"
