Speaking on the Five Star Podcast, Flair was asked about the biggest misconception when it comes to him.

"Never practice. I’ve had no practice. That’s the only thing in the business that I can’t stand right now. ‘Do this, do that.’ You can never guarantee how the crowd is going to react. You can have a match all set up to go this way and the crowd is going, ‘I don’t think so. I don’t like you today, I like him,'" he said.

Flair previously explained why he stopped giving advice to young talent. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
