Ric Flair is a WWE Hall of Famer, but back in 2013 the former 16-time World Champion was still grieving the loss of his son Reid. He was reportedly drinking while continuing some of his work commitments.

One of these commitments was to be part of the WWE2K14 panel which was hosted by fellow Hall of Famer Jim Ross. While under the influence of alcohol, Flair told several stories at the event that shouldn't have been revealed publicly and Ross was unable to maintain professionalism throughout.

Jim Ross was unable to stop Flair and according to The Wrestling Observer, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was reportedly unhappy with this and fired Ross as a result.

"A few weeks ago, Ross had hosted the WWE 2K14 symposium, a yearly promotional thing for a video game. But once Ric Flair started talking, he didn’t stop and took over the show, Flair entertained the audience with funny stories, like how wrestler John Cena doesn't have to do cardio. Then it got a little dicey, like when he mentioned Cena was once a teetotaler. [He] said 'good luck with that'," Flair said, indicating that one might rely on alcohol in the world of professional wrestling, and then noting that Cena drinks a lot now."

Jim Ross has since become the voice of All Elite Wrestling and has made several returns to WWE in the past.
