Nation&#8221; podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This follows events in November\u00a0when the death of his son, Reid Flair, was incorporated into a promo between Charlotte and Paige to promote a match. Flair said at the time that he was upset by the reference and was not given a heads up, but he understood what WWE, Charlotte, and Paige were trying to do to prop up their match in the final segment of Raw.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was said that I was upset, but I wasn\u2019t,\u201d Flair told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.miamiherald.com\/sports\/fighting\/article54633955.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Varsallone\u00a0of the Miami Herald<\/a>, backing off from his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2015\/11\/18\/ric-flair-speaks-reaction-to-reid-flair-angle-not-given-heads-up-why-he-wont-voice-his-opinion-more\/\" target=\"_blank\">original podcast reaction<\/a>. \u201cThose kind of things are going to happen periodically. The emotion is real. She and Reid were very, very close. I certainly wasn\u2019t offended by what happened. I just don\u2019t like to see her cry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was somebody\u2019s thought, and she ok\u2019d it. They said, \u2018[Charlotte], do you mind if we do this?\u2019 And she said, \u2018No. I don\u2019t mind at all.\u2019 It\u2019s the business, and sometimes things that are real come across in a way that the people are mad about it, but if I\u2019m not mad, and [Charlotte\u2019s] not mad, and we\u2019re the key players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have to live with it. It\u2019s still fresh. It\u2019s been less than three years, but it\u2019s something that happened in our life, and we have all had to make adjustments. Legitimately &#8211; which is very, very true &#8211; Reid is the one who talked her into [wrestling]. He pushed her big time. \u2018Go ahead and do it. We\u2019ll be together.\u2019 That was his dream, and that was his love. He\u2019s probably saying, as I\u2019ve said before, that he\u2019s glad to still be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Generally-speaking, Flair talked about the predicament he finds himself in evaluating the product.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My problem is I can\u2019t critique the show, because my daughter\u2019s on the show, and I\u2019m still actively working for the company. The other guys who do podcasts can critique the show, but I wouldn\u2019t be caught dead doing that,&#8221; Flair said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cActually, I don\u2019t have anything negative to say about it anyway, but if there was something I thought, I couldn\u2019t possibly say it, because I would basically be cracking on the hand that feeds me. I don\u2019t feel like there\u2019s anything negative on the show anyways.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3968485497\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Flair has picked up a regular WWE TV role managing Charlotte.
