At WCW Slamboree 1997, Flair joined forces with Roddy Piper and footballer Kevin Greene to defeat the nWo (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Syxx). Syxx (a.k.a. Sean Waltman) told Flair on his Pro Wrestling 4 Life podcast that the match was one of the greatest of his career.
Flair responded by revealing that Greene received significantly more money than he did for that storyline and match. The pay-off resulted in the 16-time World Champion having issues with Bischoff behind the scenes.
In 2018, Bischoff clarified in an interview with Wrestling Inc. that he and two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair are now good friends. Bischoff is set to receive his own WWE Hall of Fame induction as part of the 2021 ceremony on Tuesday, April 6.
Ric Flair did not like his booking after WCW Slamboree 1997
One night after WCW Slamboree 1997, the nWo stood tall over Ric Flair on WCW Nitro. The Nature Boy had no problem receiving finishers from Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Syxx that night. However, he could not understand why Kevin Greene and Roddy Piper were not involved.
At the next pay-per-view, WCW Great American Bash 1997, Hall and Nash (w/Syxx) defeated Flair and Piper in a WCW Tag Team Championship match.
