Amid major speculation, Sean Waltman and Kevin Nash were chosen as the ideal persons to induct Rodman into the Hall of Fame class. However, recently speaking to Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, Flair made some shocking claims. “The Nature Boy” claimed that Rodman had approached Flair for inducting him into the 2026 Hall of Fame.
“Dennis Rodman called me and said, ‘Will you induct me into the Hall of Fame?’ I sent it to the power that be, ‘Dennis wants (me to induct him).’ I never got a call back. I’m very happy for Kevin [Nash] and Sean [Waltman]. I never got a call back,” Flair stated.
These are Flair’s words and have not been reported before nor shared by Rodman himself. It has also to be noted that Flair also claimed in the same interview that WWE had banned him from attending WrestleMania for threatening Ludwig Kaiser.

In the same interview with Ariel Helwani, Flair also opened up about why WWE banned him from attending WrestleMania 41. “I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s husband last year, and I wasn’t allowed to go. A 24-year-old kid being threatened by a 76-year-old man, and I can’t go to WrestleMania. Are you kidding me?”

The entire scenario occurred after Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair reportedly got into an unscripted war of words on an episode of Friday Night SmackDown before their WrestleMania 41 match.
Ric Flair is a wrestling legend himself and boasts 16-time World title wins as well as is the father to WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair.
