Ric Flair believes his daughter Charlotte Flair is the best wrestler in the world. However, one WWE Superstar comes close.
WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently spoke with Liam Solomon of The Escapist. When asked how good he thinks his daughter Charlotte Flair is doing right now, Ric proclaimed that his daughter is the best wrestler in the world today, and only SmackDown Superstar Randy Orton comes close.
“She only became a wrestler by accident. But not only is she the best female wrestler, she’s the best wrestler in the world and the most athletic person in the company,” Ric Flair said. “She is the best wrestler, male or female, and I can say that without flinching, without looking back.
“The only person who I think is close to her, when he is on and healthy, when you think about in-ring timing and knowing where you are all the time, is Randy Orton. Randy’s really underutilized.”
When asked why he thinks that Orton is underutilized, Flair theorized that perhaps he upset someone backstage.
“I don’t know,” Ric admitted. “I think maybe he made somebody mad along the way. Randy’s not afraid to say what he thinks, and that’s not always popular.”
