There isn't a source on this, I saw this with my own two eyes
On the recent edition of WWE 24/7's "Legends Of Wrestling" roundtable discussion with Ric Flair & Mick Foley (taped before both left the company), Gene Okerland, Tazz, and Jim Ross; Ric Flair made various comments towards current TNA contract talent: Vince Russo & Kevin Nash.
Flair's various comments towards Russo were stating that working for him under WCW "was the most disorganized & disabled wrestling company alive." When discussing the Oklahoma character Ed Ferrah played in WCW, Flair also stated that he was embarrised to be part of the company but in the end Jim Ross was in the Hall Of Fame & the flagship announcer while "they're in the shitcan. Nobody knows who they are & nobody cares. They work for TNA. What is TNA?" The ironic part of this is now was that he was sitting next to Mick Foley when making this statement.
When the subject of the "Curtain Call" in 1996 came up, Flair stated that "Scott Hall's claim of fame was being in the ring at WrestleMania X when Shawn Michaels was wrestling a ladder." Flair also stated that Kevin Nash "had zero talent, he was in the right place at the right time. He had the look & the machine (WWE) got behind him but zero in the ring. ZERO!"

Flair is a Mcmahon puppet now Or maybe he knows what he's talking about. *Edit* And I seriously doubt he's a "McMahon puppet" because in this same interview, he calls out Vince over changing "wrestling" to "sports-entertainment."

But Foley was still with the company at the time so its not that recent. Flair was still employed with the WWE because he said I'm going to get fired for this but...and said sometihng. It was after his retirement but it wasn't recent.

The same Sports entertainment he practically carried around the owners son inlaw's jock in? the same SE he retired in and partook of the Hall of fame in? shyt , flair knows who butters his bread. I like and respect what flairs done in the ring just as much as the next guy but dont think for one minute this guy ain't a politician when it comes to the innner workings of the business. His actions spoke louder than his words.
