Ric Flair Mick Foley friends
From Bitter Enemies to Friends, Mick Foley and Ric Flair’s friendship has aged like a fine wine.

Mick Foley had walked to Ric Flair to get an autograph on his book so that it could be auctioned off for the charity. Flair offered to shake his hand but Foley refused and asked if he wanted to sign the book or not.

On hearing this Flair and got up and straightaway punched Foley in the face. Describing the incident on Rene Dupree’s Cafe de Rene podcast Love said- “Me and Shane Helms and Flair were all sitting together at the table beside each other,” Love said.

“Foley comes in with Flair’s book and I guess they had major [heat], hated each other. He [Foley] had his book, and he was just like, ‘Hey, I just bought your book. I’m a big fan of yours. Can you autograph it for me?’ and Flair just stood up and it was just like [screams] right across the table.”

The heat between them had emerged apparently due to the demeaning comments that they wrote about each other in their respective books. While Foley had criticized Ric Flair’s WCW booking, the 16-time world champion had called Foley a “glorified stuntman”.

Well, both superstars have moved on a long way since then and now are great friends. Both have worked great matches against each other in both WWE and TNA which involved some hardcore action as well.

Both were last spotted together at Flair’s last match that took place in August. The two often laugh about their heat now when they discuss and have surely become great friends with each other.
