Ric Flair Shares His Thoughts On AEW

All Elite Wrestling was officially announced at the beginning of the year, and all eyes are looking ahead to Double or Nothing next month.

There are still a lot of questions that need to be answered regarding AEW, but it’s clear that the wrestling world has taken notice.

Ric Flair recently shared his thoughts on All Elite Wrestling during an interview with CBS Sports, and he said that he thinks the company should focus on developing their own product instead of trying to compete with WWE.

“I’m old school, so I think anytime there is an opportunity for guys to work who are qualified and have been trained properly in a position to be somewhat successful in their attempt to work for either company, I’m all about that,” Flair said. “I think that’s great. I don’t think [AEW] should focus on the competition [with WWE] as much as just developing their own product. Their success will come from that.”

“The word competition is great. People love that part of time in the world, but this will be the first time someone with the kind of money that [Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner] Tony [Khan] brings. You know who Tony Khan is? Tony Khan is a sophisticated, intelligent, well-bred ‘Nature Boy’ Ric Flair with money. Tony Khan is the limousine-riding, jet-flying, kiss-stealing, bringing the hottest chick to every party that I go to with him, son of a gun. Now that he has the joint over in England [as co-owner of the Premier League team Fulham FC], I’m sure he has kissed girls all over the world and made them cry. If I had Tony’s bankroll in the ’80s, who knows where I would have been.”
