Ric Flair burst out laughing as he remembered the story, claiming that the “one beer” he convinced Shawn Michaels to have, ended up being three, and when they landed in Paris, they took things further. “He says, ‘Okay, I’m just going to do your thing one time and just – and that’s it! I’m done f**king around with your s**t!'” he recalled, adding that he paid someone to take his bags to his room and walked straight into a bar with Michaels, snickering as he told the story. “We stayed up ’til 3 o’clock in the morning. Shawn got ‘murdered!’ The Hardy Boyz had to take him to his room!”

“He got up the next day, he said, ‘F**k you!’ He got on a plane and went home,” Flair claimed, laughing through his story. “He was so [upset]. I said, ‘I didn’t force you to do it!’ He said: ‘God***n it! That’s what hanging … around you does to everybody!’ He’s like, ‘Vince called me.’ He said, ‘Leave Cena alone.’ They called Big Show. ‘Leave Big Show alone.’ I used to get Big Show hammered, too!”
