Mick Foley and Ric Flair had a chance to talk about their differences last weekend when they found themselves sitting next to each other on a 15 hour flight from Manila to Los Angeles. The two men have been at odds with each other for years over comments both men have made in their respective books.
Here's how Foley described things in his weekly blog at WWE.com:
"Imagine my surprise when I saw who I was sitting next to me for the 15-hour flight from Manila to Los Angeles: “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. “Ric, this can’t be how you imagined spending your birthday,” I said. At that point, both John Cena and Triple H independently volunteered to switch seats in an attempt to break up the newly formed Flair-Foley merger. To their mutual surprise, we both declined the request. And to just about everyone’s surprise (including my own), Ric Flair and I talked for several hours. We did discuss our differences, but we also talked about family and politics, with Ric discussing his possible run for North Carolina governor and me discussing my long-range goal of becoming United States ambassador to the Philippines. Hey, I’ll admit to not being all that comfortable at first. But I did enjoy myself, and I think Ric did, too. That’s good because upon entering United Airlines Flight No. 212 from Los Angeles to Washington, I looked at my boarding pass: 1-B. Who do you think was sitting in 1-A? Woooo!
