Ric Flair Reveals Why Vince McMahon Fined Chris Jericho $25,000

Chris Jericho is one of the top stars in All Elite Wrestling at the moment, but the former Undisputed Champion spent many years working in WWE. Throughout his WWE run Jericho feuded with some big names including two time Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

Ric Flair recently recalled clashing with Jericho on his Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, and he noted that Vince McMahon once fined Jericho $25,000 for busting him open with a steel chair, and he threatened to fine The Nature Boy as well.

“You remember when Jericho picked up the TV monitor and hit me in the head with it? I’ve never put my hands up in my life, except for when it was Brody with a chair, because I would just break my hands, but at least it wouldn’t break my head. So I didn’t put my hands up and Jericho hit me with the chair and I got 25 stitches.

So, Vince fined Jericho $25 grand and said, ‘I should fine you for letting him do it.’ I said, ‘Letting him do what?’ He (Vince) said, ‘Why didn’t you bring your hands up?’ I said, ‘I don’t know. But you should have asked me 25 years ago (laughs).”

Ric Flair is certainly no stranger to blood as the former World Champion joked that he didn’t know how to work without bleeding, and noted that he bled in most of his matches unless a promoter asked him not to.
