The AEW Revolution pay-per-view aired live on Sunday night and MJF defended the AEW World Championship against Bryan Danielson in the main event. At one point MJF was in the crowd and he threw a drink in a young fan’s face.
The incident sent the wrestling world into an uproar and during a recent episode of his To Be The Man podcast Ric Flair noted that he’s completelt against the idea of throwing anything at a kid.
“Yeah. It’s cheap heat. You want to do something to get heat and get the people excited, that won’t hurt anybody, you cut yourself so deep that when you swing your hair, you throw blood all over them. That’s what I did all the time when I had long hair. Then they’d feel like they’re part of the action. They’re going, ‘S**t, this ain’t paint. This is blood’ [laughs]. I’m totally against throwing anything at a kid. You never know, if it had ice in it and that. The liability there? I’m sure Tony did a a cartwheel at Gorilla [position].”
Following the show Tony Khan noted that a serious discussion was had about the incident and Ric Flair stated that he didn’t believe something like that would fly in WWE when he said, “That s**t wouldn’t fly at WWE. I got news for you. For something like that, if he did that that wouldn’t work in WWE for a minute.”
