Ric Flair BLASTS Chris Jericho Following AEW Dynamite Segment

Chris Jericho's promo on AEW Dynamite apparently didn't sit well with Ric Flair.

Ric Flair torched Chris Jericho after watching the AEW star on Wednesday's Fyter Fest edition of Dynamite.

The 'Nature Boy' didn't like that Jericho referred to himself as "the living legend" when setting up a match vs. Eddie Kingston. Taking to Twitter, Flair called the All Elite veteran a "Shawn Michaels wannabe". Then, he quickly followed that up by saying that Jericho is a "Ric Flair never will be".

Ouch.

Ric didn't stop there - he went on to criticise Jericho's outfit for the evening by asking, "Where did you buy that cheap suit?". Never one to miss a payday, Flair then put over his affiliation with Gents Playbook by tagging them in the post.

Jericho hasn't responded to any of this at time of writing.

WWE icon Flair previously blasted Jericho for referring to himself as the "GOAT of pro wrestling". GOAT is obviously shorthand for "Greatest Of All Time". That's not a nickname Ric believes Jericho can take ownership of, but...maybe he's taking all of this in-character heel stuff a little too seriously.

Either that or Flair is just playing along at home himself.
