Ric Flair: Comparing Kenny Omega & Will Ospreay To Ricky Steamboat & I Is Like Comparing The Mississippi River To The Pacific Ocean

Ric Flair has a take on Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay.

Fans have continued to rave about Omega and Ospreay’s match with AEW All In, with some saying that it is the best wrestling match of all time. In a shocking (!) turn of events, Ric Flair appears to disagree with that sentiment.

Taking to social media on Wednesday, the ‘Nature Boy’ challenged Omega and Ospreay to have 300 great matches in one year.

“No One Has More Respect For @KennyOmegamanX And @WillOspreay Than Me! But To Compare Them To Steamboat And I Is Like Comparing The Mississippi River To The Pacific Ocean! When They Have A Great Match 300 Times A Year And 200 Hour Broadways, Get Back To Me! Until Then, There Is No Problem With Being Number Two. You Are Great Young Talent, But Let’s Get Serious Kids! You Should Only Hope That You Have People Talking About Your Matches 37 Years Later! WOOOOO!”
