Ric Flair previously announced on social media that he would be returning to The Joe Rogan Experience to settle several scores. However, the highly anticipated episode never materialized. And now, on a recent podcast episode, Rogan revealed that scammers had targeted the wrestling legend and that a legitimate booking had ever existed. Rogan explained that the fraudsters had used the fake offer to try to gain access to his bank account by promising a booking fee. He subsequently apologized to Flair, despite having no involvement in the scheme.
“I’ve got to apologize to Ric Flair. He got scammed. So, some person reached out and said that they were representing this podcast and that he was going to come on the podcast. And what it really is, is they’re just going to empty your bank account, and it’s just a scam. So, if you get an email like that from me, it’s not real. Sorry, Ric Flair.” – Joe Rogan
Flair first appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience #1974 in April 2023 alongside Tony Hinchcliffe, where he captivated audiences with unforgettable stories from his legendary wrestling career and wild partying tales. His charismatic, larger-than-life presence made the episode a hit, leading to a September 2023 guest spot on Kill Tony #629 alongside Shane Gillis, Ari Shaffir, and Mark Normand. Yet, Flair became irritated with the roast format and dramatically walked off midway, creating one of the podcast’s most awkward yet memorable moments.
