While talking about his past issues with WWE wrestler Ludwig Kaiser, Ric Flair jokingly said that he had no idea where Kaiser came from or whether he was still on the roster.

First, the back story. The 16-time world champion’s problems with the man who works under the alias of El Grande Americano stem from an incident that took place last year between Tiffany Stratton and her daughter Charlotte Flair. In the lead up to their WrestleMania 41 title match, they had an infamous verbal clash on an episode of SmackDown.

During the segment, Stratton referenced Flair’s three failed marriages. Flair responded by saying that his opponent’s then-boyfriend Kaiser was sending him direct messages on social media. A claim that Kaiser shot down with a hilarious Shawn Michaels meme immediately afterward.

During Wednesday’s appearance ariel helwani showRic Flair called in and noted that he was not invited to WrestleMania 41 and 42 this year because he threatened to “beat up” Caesar over a comment he made on social media about his daughter, which the 76-year-old was not clear about.

“I threatened to beat up Tiffany Stratton’s husband last year, and I wasn’t allowed to go. A 24-year-old kid is being threatened by a 76-year-old man, and I can’t go to WrestleMania. Are you kidding me?” Flair said.

Beyond the idea that Flair had any chance in a fight against Kaiser at the age of nearly 80, there were several things he got wrong in his speech. First of all, he claimed that Kaiser is 24 years old. He is actually 35 years old. The WCW icon then said, “That English kid, he’ll be like a gnat in wrestling. He’ll be a fly on the wall in a year.” Flair apparently doesn’t know that Kaiser is German.

Flair then asked, “Where is he now? Is he even on the roster?” The wrestling great must not have looked too far into the WWE product as he had no idea that Cesar had been playing the character for El Grande Americano for almost a year and had become extremely popular for his work in AAA.

This was one of many senior Ric Flair moments when he complained about WWE not “rolling out the red carpet” for him during WrestleMania weekend for his contributions to the industry. He also claimed that Stratton “wasn’t smart enough” to write the line about his daughter’s divorce and that someone at the company had passed the message on to him.

Still, despite the lengthy criticism and numerous targets, the WWE Hall of Famer suggested, “I’m not mad at anybody. I understand it’s politics now. It’s too much politics and not enough wrestling.”

Randy Orton’s heel turn against Cody Rhodes on the March 13 episode of SmackDown set the stage for another interesting storyline coming to WrestleMania 42. Three days later, on the March 16 edition of Raw, Orton was shown on the phone with an unknown person, and the identity of that caller has become one of the most discussed mysteries in WWE at this time.

But I am saying busted open radio, WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer both offered their theories as to who was on the other end of that call. Bully Ray suggested two names from the Flair family, with Charlotte being his preferred choice.

“Who was on the phone with Randy? There’s no doubt it could have been Rick, and Rick probably said things to Cody that would blow Cody’s mind,” he said. “‘But I would be devastated if Charlotte couldn’t do the same, and no one would be able to see Charlotte coming. It would be very different, a new look.

“You want to talk about royals? You’ll have an Orton in the ring, you’ll have a Flair in the ring, you’ll have a Rhodes in the ring. That’s cool in itself. I like the idea of ​​you having Charlotte.”

The appeal of the Charlotte Flair scenario is obvious. His involvement would add a layer of surprise that Ric Flair’s appearance wouldn’t have at this point, given how often his name is linked to WWE storylines.

Charlotte’s alliance with Orton against Rhodes would also have its own history, given the Rhodes and Flair family’s long-running ties in the wrestling business. The optics of three generational surnames colliding at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas will carry real weight.

Could The Rock Be Randy Orton’s Secret Supporter?

Dreamer took a different direction altogether, pointing to The Rock as his candidate. “It’s a Tommy Dreamer conspiracy theory. I think The Rock is talking to Randy Orton. I mean, it happened when he said there’s another royal family, I’m fine. Is he talking to Cowboy Bob?

And like, I understand it. Your grandfather was a great charmer. Your father was a great charming man. But then I’m also trying to think, who is the other royal family? And that other royal is The Rock. It’s the only thing I can think of.”
