Flair’s response indicated that Madden was fired the gig and the war of words kicked off from there.

“Love and appreciate you Mark Madden, but actually, I relieved you of your duties,” Flair said. “Best of luck with your work! I’ll be back and better than ever next Monday. Going home to my son in law, Conrad Thompson.”

Ok. That’s true. And now, soon, I can tell the whole real story. Like how we lost the deal with Podcast One. Love& appreciate you, too, but hey…as long as we’re telling the truth. Truth is always good, right? Watch this space. https://t.co/lGt3aAQTWB

And BTW, you didn’t have the balls to tell me you were firing me. You said the podcast was cancelled, period. Your son-in-law had to tell me the truth. Why couldn’t you just let it go? Why couldn’t you just be a friend after 35 years? https://t.co/lGt3aAQTWB

Mark, It’s So Sad. You’ve Been Telling Everyone For 30 Years That I’m The Greatest Wrestler Ever. Quit Trying To Get The Rub That Made You Who You Are! Look Forward To Hearing You On The @PatMcAfeeShow, Oh Wait, Sorry, He Cancelled You Too! Just Be Happy & Enjoy Life! https://t.co/AS2xXyZERs
