VIDEO: Ric Flair Makes Emotional SportsCenter Appearance

He’s worthy of some attention. The sports world is a bit of a strange place at the moment and that has caused some severe issues with the various sports programming networks. Since there are so few live sports available for broadcast, these networks are looking towards different sporting events to keep things on the air. That includes wrestling, which was the case on Sunday.

On Sunday, ESPN focused quite a bit of their television time on wrestling. This included the NCAA amateur wrestling tournaments from 2011, various documentaries on amateur wrestling and WWE, WrestleMania 35 and a 30 For 30 documentary on Ric Flair. The last one of those is a rather special one and deserves a special bonus, which is what took place on Sunday morning before the documentary aired.

This is a special one. Check out a special Flair appearance:

Before his documentary aired, Flair was a guest on SportsCenter on Sunday morning. Flair talked about how honored he was to be on the show because it meant so much respect for him. The interview included Flair talking about his issues over the years with money and family, though he said that he was in a good place. The final segment was a look around Flair’s office, including various memorabilia both from wrestling and pop culture.

Opinion: I’m not sure what to believe from Flair as things have gone all over the place for him so many times before, but it is nice to see that he gets something like this. Flair has been one of the biggest stars in wrestling for a long time now and it is great to see him getting this kind of attention. Flair might not be everyone’s favorite, but he is a legend for a reason and that is never going to change.
