Ric Flair Explains Why He Didn’t Appear in WWE 2K25, His Thoughts on the Raja Jackson Incident

Speaking to Escapist Magazine, Ric Flair discussed his absence from appearing in WWE 2K25, and how you only make money from WWE video games if you’re on the cover. Flair also noted that he’s still currently under contract with AEW, and he also discussed his career, his wrestling Mt. Rushmore, the Raja Jackson incident, and more. Below are some highlights from Escapist:

On not playing video games: “I’ve never played video games in my life. I can’t play them, I’m terrible. My kids could beat me in one second, so I quit. I’m a bad loser.”

Ric Flair on not appearing in WWE 2K25: “I knew about it, but I didn’t expect to be, as I’m still under contract at AEW. Unless you’re on the cover, you don’t make any money anyway. Maybe 0.3% or some damn thing!”

His wrestling Mount Rushmore: “That’s such a tough question, but obviously it would be Hulk. I feel like it would be Hulk, Stone Cold. Then the greatest worker of all time, because I’ve wrestled everybody and he probably could wrestle better than anybody right now if he was healthy. Shawn Michaels. And then of course I’d put Undertaker up there.”

Flair on having “terrible chemistry” with the late Randy Savage: “No, we had terrible chemistry. He wanted to rehearse and I didn’t rehearse. I only did it for WrestleMania. Instead of having a week off, I had to come to Tampa and wrestle for three hours a day with him to memorise a match. And that just wasn’t my style. You have to feel the crowd.”

His thoughts on the incident with Raja Jackson assaulting wrestler Syko Stu: “He put him in a coma didn’t he? I’m very close to Rampage and I tried calling him, but obviously he wasn’t taking calls. Can you understand in a way, sometimes you can lose your temper in the moment and snap like that, then regret it afterwards? Yeah, but not to that extent. A receipt here or there keeps everybody straight. But not to that extent.”
