On the latest episode of the Wooooo Nation podcast, former Evolution member Ric Flair said that he absolutely hated being a babyface in pro-wrestling.

Ric Flair spent most of his time during his WWE career as a heel. Even in the latter stages of his career, he played a significant role in the notorious heel stable Evolution. The stable consisted of Triple H, Batista, and Randy Orton. While the above-mentioned three were contesting for titles and in main events, Ric Flair used to play the role of helping them get victories through distraction and interference. Flair even held the tag titles with Batista during their stint together at Evolution.

Ric Flair stated that he was terrible at being humble and pretending to be something he isn't. According to The Nature Boy, he was better off being genuine and being a more arrogant character was something which came naturally to him.

''Because I do not want to be humble. I am terrible going out 'I hope I can do this I hope I can do that', I would rather say I am this and I am that. All the stuff that came so naturally to me, the arrogance and the way that I live my life, it is very hard to do that and still come across someone very humble,'' stated Flair
