"Sick old man," "Vince McMahon was nasty" - WWE Universe reflects on a controversial storyline with former World Champion

Vince McMahon's old WWE regime had several controversial storylines and questionable bookings over the past three decades. Lately, fans reflected on one of the most controversial storylines that took place during the end of the Pandemic Era on Monday Night RAW.

During the end of the Pandemic Era, Vince McMahon had a storyline going with 16-time World Champion Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair, and Lacey Evans on Monday Night RAW. The WWE Hall of Famer became Evans' on-screen manager when she feuded with The Queen. She ended up revealing that Ric was the father of her upcoming child before going on a hiatus.

In reality, The Sassy Southern Bell went on maternal leave and abandoned the storyline. Meanwhile, both Flairs were written off television and The Queen returned to WWE RAW after WrestleMania 37. Recently, fans reflected on the nearly three-year-old storyline and reacted.

Check out some of the fan reactions below:

Earlier this year, Lacey Evans was released from WWE. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair is on Friday Night SmackDown in a feud with Damage CTRL and Ric Flair signed with All Elite Wrestling.

The storyline was widely criticized as the pairing of Evans and Ric Flair was painful to watch according to the majority of fans. Luckily, the promotion hasn't revisited such a storyline or pulled off any controversial angles under the new regime.
