Don Callis Has Zero Issues With Punching A Senior Citizen

What does the (Invisible) Hand say to the face?

Don Callis once worshipped Ric Flair. Now? He’d like to punch him in the face.

“I once worshipped @RicFlairNatrBoy. Now when I see him I want to beat the shit out of him,” Callis wrote on Twitter. “I have zero issues punching a senior citizen @AEW”

The Don Callis Family’s Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita will face Sting and Darby Allin (managed by Flair) on Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite in a tornado tag match.

Ready for any kind of action

WrestleZone spoke with Flair during his appearance at Las Vegas’ Planet 13, the world’s largest cannabis dispensary. Flair was promoting his Ric Flair Drip line of cannabis products. Flair shared his philosophy on being a manager and said that it’s very important for a manager to get heat and feed for the opposition.

“I just feel very strongly and this is a point you can emphasize — I think if you are in a managerial role and you are put in a position of getting heat on somebody, which even after Steve retires and they keep me along, I would love to do that. But I think it’s very important if you’re going to help get the heat, then you gotta be able to get knocked down,” Flair stated. “There’s no better answer to the question than that.

“I don’t expect to wrestle. Could I? Yes, because I’ll learn from my mistakes. You always learn from past mistakes. But I don’t think that’ll ever happen, but I certainly want to be able to feed a guy if I’ve helped get heat on them because it’s only fair to the babyface, or the good guy rather, that he gets a shot at the guy. That’s how they prevail. They beat the villain and then they have to smack someone around that’s been associated with them,” he said. “I am cleared for that. And even if I wasn’t, I’m feeding. That’s the way it works.”

“I think I’m a guy that’s lucky enough to be along for the ride, and what happens, happens. As Pedro Morales said years ago, ‘I am ready for any kind of action.’ And by the way, I’ll have a blade on my finger, brother,” Flair added. “So you can pass that along. I don’t go to work without a blade. [laughs] I’ll take an aspirin so I really bleed.”
