Ric Flair on Andrade El Idolo & Sammy Guevara Altercation

[Liz]

On the latest edition of his To Be The Man podcast for AdFreeShows, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair commented on the backstage altercation between his son-in-law, Andrade El Idolo, and Sammy Guevara in AEW. Flair stated the following (via Fightful):

"I'm family in that deal. I've only met Guevara one time, or twice, he was very nice to me. Pretty much how I judge people, but you don't want to be rocking and rolling with Manny [Andrade]. I've been to Manny's home, I know how he grew up. You know Sin Cara? Manny is Sin Cara. Sin Cara has beat up half the guys in the business. Manny is a very tough man. I think they feel pretty comfortable, some of the guys saying things when they know the fight is never going to get anywhere or it gets broken up and there are 1,000 people involved. Ultimately, nobody ever gets their ass whipped, but I feel comfortable in saying that wouldn't be much of a fight. Nothing against Sammy as a wrestler, I just think Manny is a tough guy. There are not a lot of tough guys in the business anymore."

As previously reported, it's rumored that Andrade El Idolo was the only one who threw punches during the fight, and he was sent home as a result. His scheduled match with Preston Vance on AEW Rampage last week was pulled from the show as well.
