Vince McMahon Told Former Tag Team Champions “I’ll Give You Two Clowns One More Day”

Anything can happen when you watch WWE programming, and back in 2006 fans witnessed an unlikely title change at the Cyber Sunday pay-per-view when Ric Flair and Roddy Piper defeated the Spirit Squad to become the new WWE World Tag Team Champions.

The title reign didn’t last long as Piper and Flair dropped the belts to Rated RKO a week later on Monday Night Raw, and during a recent episode of his Woooo Nation Uncensored podcast Ric Flair reflected on the title reign.

“Yeah, what a rib (laughs). Vince just said, ‘I’ll give you two clowns one more day.’ It was fun.”

According to the Nature Boy the title reign was put in jeopardy after Roddy Piper got sick, and that’s when they had to drop the belts so that WWE could send Piper home.

“We flew to Europe…the first day we land, we were going to wrestle – I don’t remember against whom – and Roddy got sick in the dressing room. The doctors came, and they wouldn’t let Roddy wrestle. We did something real quick where we got beat and they sent Roddy back to the hotel and bought him a ticket to go home the next day. They told him not to drink, because he was having intenstinal problems, so I went back to the hotel and he had already drank 12 beers and smoked two joints (laughs).”
