• Ric Flair Says RAW Wrestler Can Do Some Serious Work In The Ring
During a recent interview on Broken Skull Sessions, two time WWE Hall of Famer praised RAW wrestler Kevin Owens’ in-ring work.
Below is what Flair said:
“The Figure Four, I got it from Jack Brisco, you know. Which is kind of like things I could say to you. So, did you not tell me that Kevin Owens called you about using the Stunner? So, he is a great kid. That kid can work, really serious work.”
Flair then talked about how finishing moves from the past are no longer finishing moves:
“Going back to holds and offense, he does that. But nobody else is doing it. Everybody is using that superkick.
I can even remember sitting at a table, TV and they came down and the guy goes, ‘hey, Mago wants to use the superkick as a high spot tonight’. Shawn goes, ‘absolutely not’. Now if you watch the show… I want to tell the kids what’s up, but you can’t have 27 moonsaults, you can’t have 27 superkicks.”
