WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair and long-time friend and broadcaster Mark Madden's podcast is over after 19 episodes, with Madden claiming he was told the podcast was canceled only to later learn Flair was firing him and returning to doing a podcast with his son-in-law Conrad Thompson:
The entire situation unfolded overnight on Twitter:
I am leaving the @FlairUncensored podcast effective immediately. It’s not a good fit for me, especially scheduling the prep &taping during my jam-packed work week. Thx to @RicFlairNatrBoy & @PodHeat for the opportunity &for understanding.

Love & Appreciate You @MarkMaddenX, But Actually, I Relieved You Of Your Duties! Best Of Luck With Your Work! I’ll Be Back & Better Than Ever Next Monday! Going Home To My Son In Law @HeyHeyItsConrad! https://t.co/O10esiWAlX

And BTW, you didn’t have the balls to tell me you were firing me. You said the podcast was cancelled, period. Your son-in-law had to tell me the truth. Why couldn’t you just let it go? Why couldn’t you just be a friend after 35 years? https://t.co/lGt3aAQTWB

Mark, It’s So Sad. You’ve Been Telling Everyone For 30 Years That I’m The Greatest Wrestler Ever. Quit Trying To Get The Rub That Made You Who You Are! Look Forward To Hearing You On The @PatMcAfeeShow, Oh Wait, Sorry, He Cancelled You Too! Just Be Happy & Enjoy Life! https://t.co/AS2xXyZERs

Have another drink. God gave you the gift of life a few years back, &you thank him by getting ***t-faced every single night like you are right now. You are the greatest wrestler ever. What you’ve become is sad. https://t.co/uY1DCrsKLC

Listen...I am so sorry it came to this. But I’m not the reason it came to this. I took the high road& he just couldn’t do that. He lied to me, then embarrassed me. ***k that. I don’t give a ***k who he is.

Ric was planning to work at AEW ‘til the Dark Side ep. Not sure what Tony Khan thought. Khan doesn’t talk to Ric now. Disinvited Ric from his b’day party. https://t.co/QfAArF7mUW
