"Ladies and gentlemen......the newest member of the WWE Hall of Fame, class of 2017.......THEODORE LONG!"
*long applause from crowd*
Teddy: "Thank you! Thank you very much! Hey...HOLLA, HOLLA, HOLLA!"
*crowd continues cheering*
Teddy: "Again, thank you......you know, tonight is a very special night for me, and I feel so honored right now. I've had a long career in this business, with a lot of great, memorable moments, and I made a lot of friends along the way. But, you know......I also had some struggles along the way, and I went through some bad experiences. As a matter of fact, lemme take y'all back in the day, when I had an encounter with a certain wrestling legend, who liked to style and profile......."

According to Teddy in a shoot interview, Flair was incredibly racist and disrespectful to him in the early days, even calling him the n-word
Some wrestling fans are aware of the story, but not the general public........who still love to praise Flair as the GOAT. Teddy's HoF speech would be quite the time and place to repeat that story, especially with the rumor of Hogan's post-racial tirade return to WWE (seriously doubt Teddy would do it; just saying)

JTG hinted in his first book that when he was heading into a hotel's bar to hang out with the locker room; an extremely drunk flair , who was sitting with his wife of the time,was talking shit to him about how the business is going down the drain letting "his kind" come in and making a mockery of the profession. Flair's wife apologized to JTG and had to carry Ric's drunk ass upstairs to his room.

I thought some people were saying that might have also been Michael Hayes or Hogan...is it all-but-confirmed to be Flair that JTG was talking about?
