Ric Flair & Mark Madden Fall Out Over Podcast Split - Meltdown Ensues

Posted: Apr 1st 2022 By: andy H. Murray - WhatCulture.com

Ric Flair and Mark Madden's Wooooo Nation Uncensored partnership is no more - and it got messy.

Ric Flair's podcast will be moving forward without host Mark Madden after a messy split between the two played out on social media across Sunday.

It began with Madden, the former WCW announcer, claiming that he was stepping away from Wooooo Nation Uncensored as it was no longer a good fit for him and his schedule, thanking Flair and the Podcast Heat network in the process:-

I am leaving the @FlairUncensored podcast effective immediately. It’s not a good fit for me, especially scheduling the prep &taping during my jam-packed work week. Thx to @RicFlairNatrBoy & @PodHeat for the opportunity &for understanding.

Flair was quick to dispute this. In his first response, the 73-year-old claimed that rather than stepping away, Madden was "relieved of his duties," and that he was taking his show to his son-in-law Conrad Thompson's Ad Free Shows network:-

Love & Appreciate You @MarkMaddenX, But Actually, I Relieved You Of Your Duties! Best Of Luck With Your Work! I’ll Be Back & Better Than Ever Next Monday! Going Home To My Son In Law @HeyHeyItsConrad!

In subsequent tweets, Madden confirmed that Flair had, indeed, let him go, then alleged that Ric had Thompson break the news to him instead of doing it himself.

When Flair called the situation sad, accusing Mark of trying to get the rub from him, Madden went super personal:-

Flair:
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!

Madden:
Have another drink. God gave you the gift of life a few years back, &you thank him by getting ***t-faced every single night like you are right now. You are the greatest wrestler ever. What you’ve become is sad.

Wooooo Nation Uncensored had been around since November 2021, coming together three months after Flair had requested (and been granted) his release from WWE. A formal announcement on the show's future is yet to emerge despite the Thompson/Flair link.
