WWE management gave Ric Flair Friday and Saturday night off. The exact reason is unknown, although most sources are saying that it is due to the birth of his granddaughter. They ended up incorporating Flair's absence into an angle as The Coach did a promo saying that he "got a call from Bischoff that Flair would be unable to attend." Flair did work last night's show in Fresno and was said to have tweaked his hamstring. Nevertheless he is said to be just fine.
