While speaking on his “To Be The Man” Podcast, Ric Flair spoke about some people criticizing his Hall of Fame induction speech for The Great Muta:
“I don’t know what they didn’t like about it. You have to remember that 99% of the people that attended that building don’t even know who Muta is. The wrestling people do, but I’m saying the audience. Anytime you compare someone to Ricky Steamboat and Shawn Michaels, I don’t see how they can complain about that because he was that good, or say he was the first guy to do the moonsault on TV. I didn’t hear it from anybody in the WWE, but that’s not unusual. I did hear they didn’t like me bringing up Sting, but Sting’s in our Hall of Fame. I merely asked the question, ‘Are you sure that Muta wants me over Sting.’ That’s all I said. If you can’t speak the truth without being criticized. I thought that was a very fair question on my part because he actually wrestled more than I did with Muta.’
