Two-time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair was recently a guest on Booker T’s “Hall of Fame” podcast to discuss several professional wrestling topics.

Here are the highlights:

What he thinks is missing from wrestling today:

I think it’s the immense number, or huge number of characters. Black wrestlers that I got to wrestle, and you probably did too on the way up. I mean, you could probably list 20 guys that you wrestled a hundred times. I don’t think there’s anybody, with the exception of Randy Orton right now on the roster, that had that kind of experience to wrestle that many guys.

AJ Styles’ success around the world:

AJ is an example, just to change the subject, but on the same subject matter, AJ [worked] Japan, he’s been everywhere. And I was absolutely, I thought, ‘Wow!’ When he came out the door his first time at WWE, you had to think to yourself, ‘Man, where has this guy been,’ right? What a reaction. And all he’d been to was TNA, I guess Ring of Honor, and Japan.

They knew him when he came out of the door. It was huge. So you can never speculate as to where someone catches the public eye. I mean, that’s one of the things that you got to be careful of. Where you go, you’re gonna be judged for the moment. And that’s just what it is.

But when he came out the door [in his WWE debut], that spoke volumes for the other promotions that you wouldn’t have thought would have given him the recognition, and the defining audience that he’s developed, and following with the WWE.
