Ric Flair Names His Favorites Beyond Charlotte, Talks Being Mentioned By Sting In AEW
Ric Flair is well known for praising his daughter’s work in WWE, but he also opened up about his other favorites in the company.
Speaking with Good Karma Wrestling, Flair named his favorites beyond Charlotte in WWE.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his favorites in WWE beyond Charlotte: “I like that faction with Dominik [Mysterio]. I love the Usos. I like The Bloodline, I don’t know what they’re going to do with that, if they keep going but as long as it’s working, stay with it.”
On Brock Lesnar also being a favorite: “He’s a hell of an athlete. Brock Lesnar is a world-class athlete and a badass…. [He’s] today’s version of our Harley Race.”
On Race’s legendary toughness: “You grabbed a hold of Harley Race, you were going to lose an eye, an ear missing, nose bitten off. You weren’t getting out of there easy.”
Flair also spoke with The Orlando Sentinel about being mentioned by Sting in the latter’s latest promo on AEW Dynamite.
You can check out some highlights from that interview below:
On being mentioned by Sting in his recent AEW promo: “Whenever that happens, it’s a great honor, It never gets old.”
On attending the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony each year: “It’s the one time we all get together to share the memories and stories. I’m actually going to visit Muta in Japan. The worst thing about it is that it’s one or two less of us every year. It’s been a long year for a couple of people, so my prayers are with them.”
On his Ric Flair Drip cannabis line: “I had been approached before [about promoting cannabis], but it wasn’t ideal for my brand at that time since I was still wrestling and all that. But when I said, ‘Yeah, boy,’ it changed my life. I haven’t really smoked since I was 18 or 19 because I had asthma — that’s the only reason I didn’t, probably — but with edibles, now I’ve gotten off Xanax.”
On what went wrong with his final bout at Ric Flair’s Last Match: “One word: dehydration. It would have been phenomenal if I had kept hydrated. I was fixated on weighing a certain weight for the match. I didn’t drink enough water. That was it.”
