<html>Following his at last Saturday's 2K14 press conference, has reportedly found himself in hot water with management.
As I last week, the two-time Hall of Famer stole the show at the event. He was loud,Gold Coast home used as set for My Mistress movie_1, rude and generally pretty crazy. Now, this isn't really anything new, but he also trashed Daniel Bryan, mentioned TNA and outed the supposedly clean-cut John Cena for being a big drinker.
Yeah, those are big no-nos at an official WWE conference.
Truthfully,Streamlined Triforce Quest, No New Dungeons For Wind Waker Remake, Flair didn't wreck the show. If anything, he made an otherwise average press event hugely entertaining.
The conference, and the video game,Kevin Durant, Michael Beasley and Walter White- Decisions and Moral Consequences_0, got a hefty amount of press and attention out of the entire thing, with fans clamoring to YouTube to see the footage.
So, it's all good, right?
Alas, it doesn't appear that WWE executives were too enamored with Flair's behavior.
In this week's (subscribers-only) , Dave Meltzer gives an update on the situation. Interestingly, he notes that while the video game executives in attendance were unfazed, the McMahons were deeply unhappy: "The 2K people had no problem with it and liked it. The WWE people were furious,CP3 Elected President of Players Union._0, because of image."
He discussed the fallout from Flair's antics:
The end result was that Stephanie McMahon came out to apologize to the audience, most of whom were laughing at Flair s stories, but it s not the image the company wants its wrestlers to project. Vince McMahon was also said to be furious. Flair was pulled from the Q A session after the show with the media that was there and also pulled from SummerSlam, where he was to make a surprise appearance.
Meltzer explained that Flair had been expected to take on a PR role with WWE but that this was now up in the air: "At this point,John Travolta’s ‘The Forger’ Casts Tye Sheridan, it s very much questionable where things stand with Flair and the company."
Could WWE ever trust Ric Flair in a PR position?</html>
