WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently spoke with Fansided to promote his podcast, Ric Flair Show. Here are the highlights.
On Charlotte losing the Women’s Title to Sasha Banks: She didn’t lose anything. She proved to everyone in the world that she is the greatest athlete in the WWE and the greatest women’s champion of all time. There’s no disgrace losing to Sasha. She had it for 307 days which is such a long time in a sport that is so very competitive. I’m so proud of her and she has such a positive attitude. She’s looking forward to the rematch and so am I. She’s only been the business for 4 years and she has come so far already. Out of those 4 years she took 8 months off due to injury and another 4 due to my son passing away. She has come full circle and is just a phenomenal athlete. Obviously, it takes time to develop a craft in wrestling and to tweak things to get comfortable. The hardest thing in this business is if you have the ability, you still need to develop that character. She found that niche and she’s rocking and rolling.
On Evolution: It was an amazing time and I enjoyed every second of it. All the respect to Triple H who put us all together. It was a little more conservative than the 4 Horseman but equally just as fun. It was a great opportunity for me to have a good time, and I always do. Randy is back and looks like a million dollars. Dave has a brand of his own that has taken off. And look at Hunter who is virtually running the company. I am proud of all three of them for improving their wrestling careers and other opportunities outside of the wrestling business. Look at Hunter though, he has taken a tremendous amount of responsibility in the WWE. Look at NXT where I think he was solely responsible for the upswing on the talent. When he took that over it blew up.
Flair also talked about the brand extension, his new podcast and more. You can read the entire interview here.
