Mick Foley and Ric Flair had a chance to talk about their
differences last weekend when they found themselves sitting next to
each other on a 15 hour flight from Manila to Los Angeles. The two
men have been at odds with each other for years over comments both
men have made in their respective books.
Here's how Foley described things in his weekly blog at
WWE.com:
"Imagine my surprise when I saw who I was sitting next to me for
the 15-hour flight from Manila to Los Angeles: Nature Boy Ric
Flair. Ric, this cant be how you imagined spending your
birthday, I said. At that point, both John Cena and Triple H
independently volunteered to switch seats in an attempt to break up
the newly formed Flair-Foley merger. To their mutual surprise, we
both declined the request. And to just about everyones surprise
(including my own), Ric Flair and I talked for several hours. We
did discuss our differences, but we also talked about family and
politics, with Ric discussing his possible run for North Carolina
governor and me discussing my long-range goal of becoming United
States ambassador to the Philippines. Hey, Ill admit to not being
all that comfortable at first. But I did enjoy myself, and I think
Ric did, too. Thats good because upon entering United Airlines
Flight No. 212 from Los Angeles to Washington, I looked at my
boarding pass: 1-B. Who do you think was sitting in 1-A?
Woooo!
