Ric Flair has nothing but good things to say about the AEW World champion.
It’s been no surprise that Flair loves what he sees in MJF, he has mentioned quite a lot that he would love to trade microphone blows with the Salt of the Earth.
During an interview with The Wrestling Classic. Flair’s praise for MJF even included a comparison to a current legend in the business who made his return not that long ago.
“We exchanged pleasantries in the lobby of the hotel. I shook his hand and said, not that it mattered to him, but I think he’s pretty confident in himself. He doesn’t need a pat on the back and that’s what makes him a little bit different. He’s good. I don’t mind telling you, he’s damn good. he’s confident. He’s young. I tried to mainly reinforce to him that I hope he stays at AEW,” he said.
When asked what sets MJF apart, Flair replied, “I like the fact that I think he’s confident and comes across as confident in real life as he comes across with his confidence in the ring. He’s got a great interview, he’s got a great look, he’s worked hard. I think he has the confidence in real life that he portrays on TV and I think the future is unlimited for him. He’s really good. He could be the next Randy Orton. That’s about as high of praise as I can give him.”
Flair has compared his daughter, Charlotte to the female version of the Apex Predator. Flair has also called Orton the #1 guy in the WWE since 2020.
