Ric Flairs war of words just picked up another voice, and this time its Dutch Mantell stepping in with a response that pulls no punches. The situation started when Ric Flair took shots at Stevie Richards and Dutch Mantell during The Ariel Helwani Show, which led to a detailed response from Richards on his own show. Now, Mantell has weighed in on his YouTube channel, and he went straight at Flairs recent comments about his own importance and how WWE should treat him today. Mantell said he listened to Flairs recent interview closely, especially the part where Flair positioned himself as a top-tier attraction who still deserves special treatment whenever he shows up. Mantell then pivoted to Flairs legacy talk, specifically how Flair reacts whenever people question what hes done in the business, suggesting thats where a lot of this frustration is coming from. From there, Mantell brought it back to his own time working with Flair, using that experience to explain why he doesnt see Flair the same way others might. Mantell also touched on how personal the situation has gotten, referencing Flairs past comments about health issues and even hinting that Flair might want to take things furtherbefore shutting that down. And Mantell didnt ease up heading into the finish as he questioned Flairs credibility outright, tying it back to how Flair has always presented himself both in and out of wrestling. With Richards already going at Flair and Mantell now piling on with his own perspective, this situation has clearly moved beyond a one-on-one exchange. Multiple voices are now taking aim, and if Flair fires back again, this could keep building from here. Do you think Ric Flair responds to Dutch Mantell next, or does this situation start to cool off?
