Ric Flair has spoken to his daughter Charlotte before the WWE Raw show ‘Legends Night’

Ric Flair has never been removed from the spotlight, nor has he been recognized for fighting the legend of the pro game. Flair will appear in the “Legends Night” section of Monday night’s Raw film, along with WWE legends such as Hulk Hogan, Booker T and Mark Henry.

“I am honored that I think it is enough for me to represent the company,” Flair told CBS Sports. “I definitely know I’m a legend. I was chosen because I think I’m the oldest.”

Flair, 71, has seen health fears in recent years, but his passion for the professional wrestling business has not diminished. While WWE was navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Flair has been closely following the promotion, even during the long month she has had her daughter Charlotte Flair by her side.

Charlotte returned to the team with Asuka in December’s TLC payoffs and won the women’s team championship, where Ric appeared on the stage behind ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in Tampa, watching the match on a monitor. It was just another day to continue with the “product” of legend.

“My wife, who is a fan, but now more than a fan, I do it to watch with me,” Flair said. “She’s a big fan now. It’s the worst, isn’t it? We watch three sessions. I watched more than I thought when my daughter was off. I wanted to be with the women’s division and all. We watch it all the time. And we like the product. I think COVID and competition for programming has created problems, but I think the company continues to thrive, and they create something special and a surprise for everything that looks different.ThunderDome has become a huge thing, a huge virtual audience – graphics, technology.I think the company is the first entertainment sport in entertainment, at the time. I would argue with anyone. “

Charlotte Flair’s return and immediate title win received well-known criticism of the likes of the popular fight, which led her to become the company’s main star in trouble, rarely without a title and always at the top of the card.

Rice saw criticism of her daughter in the past and responded to it. But when asked who affects the father or daughter, the answer is simple and comes after a laugh: “Me.”

“It doesn’t bother me that much,” Flair said. “I laugh. It’s very sad the impact social media can have on people. It has thick skin. Wrestling is the only sport that someone can’t be the best. If they discuss who is better on TV … Aaron Rodgers or Mahomes, right? Or they can argue who it is. “Justin Thomas or Tiger Woods, right? In other words, there’s someone who’s the best at all, isn’t there? Of course there is. He’s the best. Argue. What do you want to discuss? Who’s the better athlete? Who played the First Class sports? Who was an American in high school? What is it to discuss? When you came out the door of TLC, what did you think? That’s star power. “

Before appearing on the night of the legend, Flair has no doubt that his daughter has already established herself as a legend, even though she has many years left in the business. Criticism on social media will not take her away from her confidence, as Charlotte is the leading female star on the current WWE list, as she is the best to ever wear a ring.

“She’s the best woman on the list, but she’s the best woman of all time,” Flair said. “I’ve been in business for 49 years. Give me an example that you think is better. You can’t. I love Trish [Stratus]I love Lita. But I can go into a room and say she’s my best daughter. We can sit down and discuss. I will have a discussion like you and I can have a discussion about Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. ”
