Ric Flair<\/a> doesn\u2019t mince words \u2014 and in his latest interview with eScapist Magazine<\/em><\/a>, the 16-time World Champion managed to praise, roast, and critique nearly everyone connected to wrestling.<\/p>\n From Charlotte Flair\u2019s rise to Randy Orton\u2019s booking to Triple H\u2019s role as head of creative, the \u201cNature Boy\u201d was in rare form.<\/p>\n First up: his daughter. \u201cShe only became a wrestler by accident. But not only is she the best female wrestler, she\u2019s the best wrestler in the world and the most athletic person in the company,\u201d Flair declared.<\/p>\n He doubled down by comparing her to Randy Orton. \u201cThe only person who I think is close to her, when he is on and healthy, when you think about in ring timing and knowing where you are all the time, is Randy Orton. Randy\u2019s really underutilised. I don\u2019t know why. I think maybe he made somebody mad along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Flair didn\u2019t stop at talent. He called today\u2019s WWE \u201cunpredictable\u201d since Vince McMahon stepped away, noting, \u201cWhen Vince was there, I could tell that Vince ran the show, but without Vince being there, I don\u2019t know whether Endeavor runs or whoever else runs it.\u201d<\/p>\n On Triple H, Flair praised the effort but warned the system is unforgiving: \u201cI think Triple H is doing a fabulous job. But when you\u2019re on live TV, you get one shot. You better do something to catch somebody\u2019s eye or you won\u2019t be there next week.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked to name his wrestling Mount Rushmore, Flair went classic: Hulk Hogan, \u201cStone Cold\u201d Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker. He even joked about Hogan\u2019s Hollywood career, saying, \u201cHulk\u2019s movies suck!\u201d while crediting The Rock and John Cena for leaping successfully into Hollywood.<\/p>\n The interview also touched on everything from Logan Paul\u2019s surprising athleticism to the importance of fundamentals. Flair emphasized that charisma and timing still matter more than viral highlights or memorized promos.<\/p>\n Decades removed from his own peak, Flair still treats wrestling like it\u2019s his domain \u2014 handing out flowers to Charlotte and Orton while warning WWE\u2019s decision-makers that unpredictability without substance can\u2019t carry the business.<\/p>\n And if you ask him, only a handful of names today meet the bar he spent a lifetime raising.<\/p>\n <\/a> WWE Star Naomi Relinquishes Title Following Pregnancy Announcement<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> WWE Legend Rushed to Hospital Following Bat Attack<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> John Cena Says He’s Taking His Wife on a European Vacation to Make Up for His Busy Schedule<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Journalist Behind Bombshell Kawhi Report Says He’s Looking Into Jalen Brunson’s Knicks Contract Next<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n New Video Shows Dak Prescott Spitting Toward Jalen Carter First Before Eagles Star\u2019s Ejection<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated News<\/h3>\n
