I shouldn't be, but I was bothered some stuff that was clearly bullshit made the piece. It should have been cut, or he should have been called out about it. Flair claiming he slept with 10,000 women, the sports psychologist story obviously didn't go down the way he told it, etc. I guess we're just supposed to accept that these guys always will tell tall tales, but Flair doesn't need to do so, and still does. It's a strange thing, like it's embedded in their DNA.
The Reid stuff was hard to watch obviously, but I'm not convinced Reid's addiction issues were because Ric Flair was his father. With the sad heroin epidemic going on, there's junkies all over the place who didn't have Ric Flair for a dad, it can't be placed on that. Ashley(Charlotte) being a wrestler now to live her dead brothers dream I find uncomfortable, she's done very well, and she may be happy with it, but even she said it was weird in the piece. It's sure giving her dad a lot of comfort and pride though, but again, it's all tied to pro wrestling, like a vicious circle.
