WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair referred to his daughter, Charlotte Flair, as the greatest female performer in the history of the wrestling business. Flair went further by arguing that he considers her to be the best overall wrestler in the company currently, regardless of gender.
Speaking on the Doubl3 Coverage podcast, Flair provided specific reasoning for his assertion, emphasizing that her position is validated by her athletic abilities and in-ring execution.
“My daughter is the greatest female wrestler of all time, and I truly believe she’s the best wrestler in the company right now,” Flair stated.
Flair pointed to her physical attributes and signature moves as tangible evidence of her elite status within the roster.
“She can [do things] that nobody else can do,” he said, before listing details regarding her height and weight. “5’11”, a buck 55, she’s five, three or five, four, the corkscrew moonsault. I mean, come on”.
Collegiate Athletic Background
Flair disclosed Charlotte’s athletic background to provide context for her in-ring athleticism, noting that she was a top collegiate prospect in multiple sports before beginning her professional wrestling career.
“She could have gone to college and played a division one sport in four different sports,” Flair stated.
He then identified the specific sports in which she was recruited at the Division I level:
- Basketball
- Volleyball
- Cheerleading
- Track and Field
Flair highlighted her specific level of running ability from her time in high school, noting, “She ran a 5:13, mile night three”. The ability to excel in both team sports and individual track events demonstrates a high degree of foundational athleticism that Flair suggests contributes to her wrestling prowess.
