On the latest “To Be The Man” podcast, Ric Flair talked about some current wrestling topics before moving on to the main subject, Bret Hart.
Flair was asked if he could see CM Punk return to WWE:
“In this day and age I can see anything. “I mean, that was very heated. I wasn’t there during all that. As I’ve said before, I only know him to say hi. But that lawsuit with the doctor and all that, I don’t know how the guys would handle that. I don’t think he was a candidate for wrestler the year when he was there. I think he thought he was better than John Cena which is absolutely not the truth as far as being the face of the company. I’ve heard the remark that he should have been John Cena, and in my opinion, that wouldn’t fly.”
Flair feels MJF should not be turned babyface:
Here’s my take on it. I’m different. I don’t see why he has to be a babyface. If you’ve got a great heel, leave him alone. Why turn him babyface? What, to get a rating? Deep down, the fan base loves him as a heel. I love him as a heel. Why make him a babyface? Because it’s wrestling? Wrestling 101. Get the hottest heel you can get, get him as hot as you can get him, and then turn him babyface. Wow. I would leave him as a heel all day long. He’s a real good worker and a great talker.”
On Logan Paul wrestling Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel:
“I think he’s done a hell of a job. I think he does great. The stuff he did with The Miz, I didn’t anticipate him being that good.”
