Dwight Howard says Ric Flair effectively talked him out of wrestling.
Eight-time NBA All-Star Dwight Howard appeared at the WWE tryouts during SummerSlam week in 2022, and he cut a buzzworthy promo. Triple H later said that the ball was in Howard’s court regarding him potentially joining WWE. Since then, updates have been few and far between.
Speaking with TMZ Sports, Dwight Howard was asked about getting into wrestling, and he noted that Ric Flair talked him out of it.
“I was talking to Ric Flair,” Howard said. “He said I don’t know if my knees [are] good for wrestling. My knees feel good, it’s just wrestling. You’re talking about picking up 300-pound dudes and all that stuff. Nobody wants to do that for their whole life.”
Howard will compete on the upcoming season of “Dancing With The Stars”.
