What Wrestling Legends Really Think Of Modern WWE

10. Ric Flair

Ayyy!

Everything is fine!

Speaking to Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Flair addressed WWE's ratings woes head on, but through sand, much like an ostrich.

Flair loves the life, even if the life now consists of knocking about in a glorified gym, wherein, much like a real gym, most everybody who signed up is attempting in vain to get out of their memberships. This might explain Flair's quite delusional insistence that "Vince McMahon, WWE, will bounce back bigger and better a year from now," blaming entirely the ongoing global situation as if WWE wasn't squashing spiders in boxes and repackaging Shayna Baszler as a vampire in front of live crowds earlier this year.

Flair doesn't go too cuckoo's nest in his appraisal of WWE, limiting much of it to the "hard, ass-busting work" of the talent.

It's fine to hold this opinion if, say, you were born after 1995 and have little clue as to how this pro wrestling thing is meant to work - but Flair was sort of the greatest of all-time, and didn't have Dana f*cking Warrior scripting his promos. He should know better.

He does however play his hand in the same interview. "I'm trying to get me to manage Randy against McIntyre at SummerSlam," he let slip.
