In an interview with The Niagara Falls Review to promote his appearance at the Niagara Falls Comic Con this weekend, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair commented on his daughter getting into wrestling, The Undertaker’s streak coming to an end, internet fans and more.
Highlights of the interview are below:
On his daughter Charlotte getting into wrestling: “I didn’t encourage her, she just went to WrestleMania with me. She was making a real nice living running a personal training center, John Laurinaitis saw her and said, why aren’t you wrestling?”
On The Undertaker’s streak coming to an end: “I wanted to see The Streak go on, but I understand, times change, it is what it is, you saw how quiet the fans got, they weren’t ready for that, so obviously they didn’t foresee that.”
On internet fans who tell wrestlers how they can do it better: “I don’t pay any attention to that, the internet thinks they’re smarter than we are, but they’re not. If you read the internet, it’s like watching FOX News, you don’t know what to believe, they all want to predict what they think will happen, but nobody ever knows for sure. As an example, 42 years in the business and I never thought Daniel Bryan would win that match at April’s WrestleMania 30, I didn’t think that he was going to beat Hunter and I’m attuned to it.”
