Jeff Jarrett thinks Ric Flair is sick.
A new video emerged of Ric Flair jaw-jacking with Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal in a parking lot before Lethal knocks Ric to the ground. Jeff tried to help Ric up, but Flair refused. Shortly after a few F-Bombs were dropped, things went from verbal to even more physical when Jeff slapped Ric and used his wife’s heel to bloody the nature boy up. Jeff broke down his actions on the latest episode of the My World podcast, Jarrett explained, from his perspective, that he tried to help Ric Flair but Flair’s ego wouldn’t allow it. Jeff Jarrett also claimed that Ric Flair had a hand in getting Jay Lethal fired from TNA.
Conrad, I tried to help your father-in-law up, literally. I said, ‘Jay, don’t do this.’ I get why Jay’s slighted. Look, if you really wanna get right down to it, who’s the one who took Jay Lethal out of New Jersey and said, ‘Jay, you got a spot in TNA.’ Guess who got him fired at TNA. Ric, Hulk, Eric, Dixie Carter, because he came begging for a job at TNA because he had 18 wives and 3000 payments to be made, and Uncle Sam was breathing down his throat. He had a wonderful retirement match in Orlando at WrestleMania. Then all of a sudden, he’s gonna come back and say, ‘Hey, I want a job.’ You talk about an egomaniac, Hulk Hogan is debuting, January 2010. That’s a whole ‘nother story, but Ric’s gotta start the same night? How much sense… Conrad, we could go down every rabbit hole you wanna go if you want to.

Ric wasn’t the only one who Jeff aimed fire at, David Crockett while continuing to go after Flair.
What do you think ‘The Nature Boy’ signed up for? He cussed me out, cussed me out in front of my life, little hanger-on David Crockett, who’s a complete jabroni. Every person in WCW covered up for his BS. He gets on that doc and says, ‘Oh, we didn’t end the right way.’ Yeah, ‘cause you ran it out of business, David Crockett. You ran your freakin’ old man’s promotion out of business and who was leading the charge? ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair. Look, when everything went national, somebody had TBS and Turner, and Ted Turner had all the guns behind him. Somebody had USA Network. Who kicked their ass? It’s because the Crocketts put Ric Flair in charge. ‘Oh, The Nature Boy.’ Ric Flair couldn’t balance a lemonade stand, and there’s proof in the pudding there. Crockett, that whole doc made me sick, all this feel-good BS, Crockett, ‘We’re gonna end right,’ and Ric. He got exactly that he deserved in that parking lot. He wants to slight Jay Lethal and say you’re an opening card guy? Even if you really, really believe that, do you tell the guy that to his face? You do if you’re an egomaniac like Flair,

Jarrett continued to go after Ric Flair’s ego, saying he laid on the ground for 20 minutes rather than letting Jeff help him up.
I offered my hand to Ric not once, not twice, Conrad, legit, three, four, five minutes, and he would not take my help. I stood on the podium and called Ric, because I’m promoting, the greatest wrestler of all time having his last match and what an honor it is. Less than 20 minutes later, he won’t let me help him up when he’s lying on his back like a turtle? I mean think about the ego that’s involved there, and you’re calling me an egomaniac? To this today, I have a boatload of Ric — He doesn’t realize how sick he is. He has zero clue how sick he is, Buddy, I ain’t trying to fix him because I’m as sick son of a bitch as him. I’ve got a certificate that says I’m insane. But he wants insanity, he’s gonna get insanity. I can assure you that.

But, there is one other man in the match and that’s Ric’s tag team partner, Andrade. Jeff called Andrade a “Dime a Dozen” and claims he clings onto Charlotte for the spotlight.
Look at my history in lucha libre. Andrade is a dime a dozen, my friend. Literally, there’s 15-20 that I’ve faced over the years. Latin Lover, Psycho Clown, Rey Mysterio, Dr. Wagner, literally one after another after another. Go look up on YouTube my AAA success. Andrade, I mean, if he ain’t a curtain-jerker, I don’t know who is. Literally. If he wasn’t married to who he’s married to… How many opportunities is Andrade gonna get on a national stage? Tell Andrade to start making opportunities and succeed, it doesn’t happen. He latched on to The Nature Boy’s daughter with everything he’s got.
