WWE Hall of Famer “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair recently spoke with PWInsider.com on a number of topics including if he ever expected his “Woooo!” catchphrase to become such a significant cultural phenomenon.
Flair said, “No, I could not. I realized when it caught on, I think I used it when I first left WWE, and every night someone would chop somebody I would text Vince, ‘You’re never gonna get rid of me.” It caught on and I’m thankful. Not that I really overthought it, I just started saying it one day and now there’s almost not a stadium probably in the country or that I’ve ever been and even, well not North Korea necessarily but all through Europe and New Zealand, Australia, they all, they love it. The kind of cultural expression of emotion of high, good emotion.”
