Ric Flair: Randy Orton Is Underutilized
Randy Orton and Ric Flair will forever be linked due to their time together in Evolution alongside Batista and Triple H.
Flair has always been a big public supporter of Orton, and in a new interview with Escapist Magazine, he made sure to give a shoutout to Orton while speaking highly of his daughter Charlotte Flair.
“She only became a wrestler by accident. But not only is she the best female wrestler, she’s the best wrestler in the world and the most athletic person in the company. She is the best wrestler, male or female and I can say that without flinching, without looking back. The only person who I think is close to her, when he is on and healthy, when you think about in ring timing and knowing where you are all the time, is Randy Orton. Randy’s really underutilised,” he said.
Asked why he thinks Orton’s might be underutilized, Flair replied, “I don’t know. I think maybe he made somebody mad along the way. Randy’s not afraid to say what he thinks and that’s not always popular.”
Randy Orton is currently involved in a feud with Drew McIntyre, who is chasing Cody Rhodes and the WWE Championship. Charlotte is one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions with Alexa Bliss.
