It’s no secret that WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair’s favorite wrestler is his own daughter, Charlotte Flair, and as such, he’s often very vocal about her booking. Earlier this month at WWE WrestleMania 42, Charlotte was involved in the Women’s Tag Team Championship match alongside her partner Alexa Bliss. Although Charlotte has continuously praised the partnership, the match was less than 10 minutes long, and Ric wasn’t thrilled about how his daughter was used.

“I didn’t like her match at all, and I think that [Charlotte] needs to be [in the main event] – and I know she enjoys her relationship with Alexa,” Flair said during an interview on “The Ariel Helwani Show.” Ric believes that Charlotte’s match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39 was unlike any other women’s match in history, and it’s something they could run back. “Rhea won the match, but there was no winner, no loser. That suplex off the second rope – the German? Come on, please. Doesn’t happen in real life.”

Helwani brought up a video of an emotional Flair watching Charlotte enter the arena at WrestleMania 42, which was widely circulated on social media, and according to Flair he was simply overwhelmed by everything his daughter has accomplished. “She’s beyond great, and everybody wanted to say ‘Oh, Ric Flair rub, Ric Flair was-‘ bulls**t. She did it on her own; I had very little to do [with it],” he proclaimed, noting that his relationship with his daughter is very close, and they only ever argue when it comes to pro wrestling.

“I’m just proud of her, and every time I get to see her – if that entrance wasn’t the greatest entrance of all time, tell me what was,” Flair concluded.

As the wrestling world continues to reel from WWE’s mass cuts last Friday, everyone is beginning to assess the future prospects of those WWE let go. Among those getting a closer look is Zoey Stark, whose departure from WWE, like Santos Escobar’s, has been a bit controversial, as she was let go after recently being cleared from a knee injury that had kept her out of action for over a year.

Among the most fired up about Stark’s release has been Bully Ray. In a lengthy segment discussing her release on Monday’s “Busted Open Radio,” the two-time Hall of Famer noted that he had been a fan of Stark for years, after she caught his attention with her “athleticism, ability, and fire,” back when she was working in ‘NXT.’ Bully went as far to compare her to upcoming WWE phenomenon Kendall Grey, believing Stark jumped out in a similar way Grey has.

Bully then revealed that he had run into Stark while she was rehabbing her injury, and noted how determined she was to recover and come back better than ever. As a result, Bully was highly critical of WWE, acknowledging that while the business is cutthroat and releases happen, it was not fair of the promotion to let Stark go without giving her a chance to make a comeback. Because of that, Bully believes there is a strong opportunity for Stark to make an impact in AEW, and he urged AEW owner Tony Khan to sign Stark and give her a live microphone during her debut.

“‘Here’s a microphone, you’ve got five minutes. Go tell your story,” Bully said. “‘If you tell your real story, not only will they love you for your determination and your passion and your drive, but they will hate the WWE for letting you go.'”
