Episode 160: From the Archives – Ric Flair

“I knew every day I woke up I was the best wrestler alive, I went to bed knowing it. I didn’t think about it, it was so natural.”

It’s time to go back into the Brian R. Solomon archives this week for a 2006 interview Brian did with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair!

The interview took place during a WWE Magazine photo shoot in Utica, New York, and features Slick Ric discussing everything from his insecurities, his skills as a heel and his second divorce, to his arrests, his favorite matches and why Rudy is his favorite movie of all time.

Episode 3: Keith Elliott Greenberg

Hello, wrestling fans! It’s time for Episode #3 of Shut Up and Wrestle, with Brian R. Solomon!

This one is very special to me, as my guest is someone I’ve known and worked with for 22 years, and whose work I’ve known for much longer than that: Keith Elliott Greenberg. You may know him from the pages of WWF/WWE/Raw Magazine, etc.; his best-selling biographies of Freddie Blassie, Superstar Billy Graham and Ric Flair; or his most recent book, Too Sweet: Inside the Indie Wrestling Revolution. Trust me, this is one you won’t want to miss!
