Ric Flair: “They got kids now making millions of dollars that couldn’t even walk in the g*ddamn ring with me”

While appearing on Booker T’s podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair commented on wrestlers using social media to market their characters. Here is what Flair had to say…

“There are more kids right now making money because of their social media than their talent. It’s absolute insanity. I mean, social media can make or break anybody. They got kids now making millions of dollars that couldn’t even walk in the g*ddamn ring with me and Book. I swear to God, they couldn’t—they couldn’t wrestle 30 minutes if they had to, much less—I mean, much less, you know, every day.”

Booker T responded with the following comments…

“I think about social media and I say it’s the best thing in the world, and I think it’s the worst thing in the world at the same time, especially from our business perspective. But I say the kid, you know, like a MJF, I mean, he’s been able to manage still being a heel, still being, you know, vilified throughout this social media world. And I just want to give him a little props there just because he’s been different. He’s been unique.”
