Rick Flair had his last WWE match this year and is now enjoying his retirement. However, he would very much like to come back if he has a chance to perform his trademark Figure Four leglock.
Rick Flair is ‘mad’ at the podcaster because, in a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the host questioned the validity and usability of Rick Flair’s iconic move. Furthermore, he said that the Figure Leglock wouldn’t be effective in a JiuJitsu competition. For the episode, Joe Rogan had Rick Rubin as a guest, who happens to be an extreme wrestling fan.
Joe Rogan Questions One Of The Iconic WWE Moves, And Rick Flair Calls Him Out On A Duel
“The move doesn’t work. So as someone’s setting up a Figure-Four, you’re literally giving up an inside heel hook.” – Joe Rogan said. “It’s kinda funny, in that regard, that, you know, you are doing this thing but this thing in the real world is the worst thing you do.”
While Joe Rogan says this as a fact, and as something he truly believes is true, Rick Flair completely counters his opinion. He used the leglock as a finishing move for decades and basically he went to retirement with that move. Rick doesn’t agree with Joe Rogan’s comments and at 73, he is still not afraid to prove it. He took to Twitter and challenged the podcaster.
“Joe Rogan, You’re Getting A Lot Of Attention For Calling Me Out! The Only Way To Resolve This Is To Have Me On The Show. I’ll Put You In The Figure Four Leg Lock & We’ll See If You Can Take It! LFG! WOOOOO!” – Rick Flair said in his tweet.
Until now, Joe Rogan is silent. There has been no response whatsoever to Rick’s challenge. And to be honest, it is not something that the public didn’t expect. The podcaster is not a big fan of WWE and this is not the first time he upsets the WWE community with his comments.
For example, in 2018, Joe Rogan’s claims that wrestling moves are fake got Mark Henry upset. He argued that someone who never entered the squared circle can’t make such claims.
But Joe Rogan also featured some wrestling names on his podcast as well. The Undertaker, Diamond Dallas Page, Jake Roberts, and Jesse Ventura are just some of them.
What do you think? Would Joe Rogan be able to escape the infamous leglock? Or maybe you think it is fake as well? Should Joe Rogan accept the challenge?
