David Houston sent the following...."Nature Boy" Ric Flair was on Charlotte sports radio station WFNZ show "The Drive" Tuesday discussing WWE,Cam Newton coming to the Carolina Panthers, the NBA playoffs, and the incident in Europe where he was left behind on the TNA tour.

In regard to the meltdown, Flair said, "When you work for WWE, you are used to funds being available for you, if you think I am going to spend my own money, you are out of your mind. With Vince...like any other company that grows, you have growing pains, financial growing pains. When you agree to go overseas, you assume you are going like any other company and very simply, I wasn't informed differently. I said, 'Hey I need some money while I'm here. I'm not blowing up my credit card. Just pay me what you owe me every night' and they don't do that. I wasn't told in a very nice way so I stayed in the hotel for another day. I'm not knocking. I think TNA is great, just they have growing pains."

Flair also commented that TNA had "no problem" with Flair attending Shawn Michaels' WWE Hall of Fame induction and they "never said a word" about it. He commented that he was already planning to attend next year's event in Miami.
