Ric Flair Makes Bold Prediction on Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s WWE Return

‘The Nature Boy’ made news lately when he announced he will perform his last match at the age of 73. Ric Flair had a long and illustrious career in professional wrestling, and he was undeniably the company’s top attraction. He had won the World Championship 16 times before he retired.

Additionally, Flair caught the eye of the wrestling industry once more, this time for his interesting prediction on The Rock vs Roman Reigns match. During an interview with ‘Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling’, Flair revealed an insightful perspective on how WWE evolved in terms of business.

Regarding the SummerSlam venue change, he claimed the ratings are down and tickets aren’t selling, which might be because wrestlers don’t express what they truly feel in their hearts and instead do what is written.

‘The Naitch’ stated on the podcast, “When The Rock comes back to wrestle Roman, that will sell tickets. When Steve Austin came back, that sold tickets. It’s a different timeframe. The talent is great, make no mistake. There are some great wrestlers. Orton, my daughter, Sasha Banks, AJ Styles.”

“There’s a list of a great top ten between the two companies, but the events sell themselves now, as much as the wrestlers do. I don’t think they turn them loose enough. [H/T: Fightful]”
