WWE Hall of Famer thinks that MJF has the potential to be “the next Randy Orton”

During an interview with Casual Conversations, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair gave his thoughts on AEW world champion MJF…

“He comes across as confident in real life as he comes across with his confidence in the ring, and he’s got a good interview,” Flair stated. He’s got a great look. He worked hard. I think he’s got the confidence in real life that he portrays on TV, and I think the future is unlimited for him, and he’s really good. He could be the next Randy Orton. That’s about as high a praise as I can give him.”

Flair also commented on being part of AEW…

“I like working, period. I’ve known Tony [Khan] for a long time. We’ve been great friends, and the opportunity just presented itself probably because of Sting. But I’ll be there, you know, a couple of years after Sting is gone, too, so I don’t know what it leads to. I’d like to manage my son-in-law [Andrade], and I want to be a heel again somewhere. My health is good. I’ve been cleared. I can get in the ring. I’m not [going] to wrestle. Let’s clarify that. Got that subject worn out. But I just really enjoy it. Tony is a great guy, and it’s a great atmosphere, and when I walked into the restroom the first time, I didn’t realize how many guys from eight from the WWE are over there. They’ve got a tremendous crew and Edge coming over. And I mean, they’ve got as much talent as they do with WWE.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
