Nature Boy director Rory Karpf was one of this week’s special guests on Sean Waltman’s X-Pac 1,2,360 this week. You can read a few transcribed highlights below, as well as watch the full show or download it on iTunes:
Him (Flair) just getting in the wrestling ring was pretty crazy. We had a wrestler show up, an independent wrestler a really nice guy but Ric didn’t want to get in the ring with him and he was like, “No man. I don’t like his physique.You got to get a better guy.” We just need a body you’re not even going to see it. So he’s like, “You get in the ring.” And he chopped me and I mean man it was like orgasmic. I mean this was like the top three moments of my life getting chopped by Ric Flair but you know he is almost like teaching me. Throwing punches and he was kicking me and he was saying, “No you got to put your head down, you got to do this.” Its like once he stepped in the ring he became like this different person. A totally different person like a teacher almost.”
