Ric Flair: Sid Vicious Wanted Me Gone From The Wrestling Business

One of wrestling’s most notorious incidents was the backstage fight between Arn Anderson and Sid Vicious in 1993 during a WCW European tour, with Vicious stabbing Anderson 20 times with a pair of scissors.

Nearly 30 years have passed and it is still a shocking series of events, and now Ric Flair has shared a little more on the incident, claiming that Anderson and Vicious came to blows over The Nature Boy himself.

“I was there, I didn’t see it [The stabbing incident],” started Flair on the Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast. “I get along with Sid [Vicious] now. I don’t even know why the conversation went the way it did. Arn was sticking up for me, because Sid kept saying ‘Flair is too old, he needs to move along’. I wasn’t even a champion.

“I think at that point in time, a few guys like Sid felt like I needed to be gone from the business. I’ve talked to Sid, I don’t bear any hard feelings towards him. He suffered one of the most horrific injuries that I’ve ever seen in a ring when he broke his leg in half. It was terrible, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for anyone who has been hurt that badly in the ring.”
