Hootie & The Blowfish’s Darius Rucker Defends Ric Flair’s Career, Calls Flair The GOAT
Darius Rucker shows love to Ric Flair.
Hootie & The Blowfish’s Darius Rucker tweeted about pro wrestling on his X account, and there was a quote tweet from another user about Kenny Omega versus Will Ospreay at AEW All In being the greatest wrestling match of all time.
Rucker responded by noting that the user must not have seen Ric Flair versus Ricky Steamboat. In a separate reply, Rucker further defended Flair and said he’s the greatest of all time.
As much as I love the @WWE and @AEW and all the others out there doing there thing. It can never be this great. We believed this. I had watched Dusty and Ole hate for my entire childhood. And then on the Superstation bang. I wanted Ole dead!! Damn I miss the territories! https://t.co/ZJn2cyUePP

Rucker and Flair are real-life friends. Flair was one of Rucker’s guests when Rucker was inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame.
