Ric Flair wasn't happy when Jim Ross appeared on Dark Side of the Ring

The controversial "Plane Ride From Hell" episode of Dark Side of the Ring led to Flair receiving massive backlash back in 2021. The Nature Boy wasn't thrilled with Jim Ross' comments on the show, and later had the following to say about his fellow WWE Hall of Famer on the To Be The Man podcast:

"Jim Ross lost every bit of credibility with me in life, in spite of calling me the greatest wrestler of all time or whatever other bullsh*t, when he jumped on The Dark Side of Wrestling [sic] because all he is starving for and leaning on life is to be relevant because he ain’t, and I will tell you this."

It's clear as day that Ric Flair has had some issues with Ross in the past. Judging by his post, though, he was taking a friendly jibe at the veteran. A lot of fans don't believe him, as is evident from the replies to his post.
