Posted: Aug 18th 2013 By: CMBurnham
WZ has learned that Ric Flair was pulled from last night's 2K Sports Legends panel, and it appears as though WWE sent Jerry Lawler to the event to replace Flair in talking to the media.
We can also exclusively confirm Stephanie McMahon LeVesque personally came to the event, and was whisked in by her own personal security staff to apologize to 2K Sports on behalf of WWE.
WZ has been told WWE is furious with Flair, and also at host Jim Ross for losing control of the situation.
