Ric Flair On Giving Advice To Talent: They Take My Opinion, And Then They See What The Marks Said

Ric Flair explains why he doesn't give advice to talent.

Flair is one of the greatest in-ring and television performers in wrestling history with a series of classic matches and promos to his name. When it comes to working on top in the wrestling business, few have the experience of Flair.

However, Flair doesn't look to give advice to those currently in the business because he believes they aren't listening to him.

"I've learned my lesson. It doesn't do any good. When people say to me, 'he's a prick, he won't help anybody.' Everybody I have given advice to, that has asked me, and people have been very polite and asked me 100 times, especially when I was traveling with Ashley [Charlotte Flair], the young guys. They take my opinion, which I know what I'm talking about, and then they get in the car or walk up the ramp and they either look and see what the marks said about it or they talk to another guy who has a much experience as him or less, and that's who they go with. God forbid I know anything. I could critique these matches they're having right now, but it's not worth the aggravation, number one. Number two, my daughter works there and I'm not going to say anything except positive things," he told Booker T on his Hall of Fame podcast.

Flair was at WWE SmackDown on December 30 to meet with old friends, but ended up leaving before Charlotte came out and ended up winning the WWE SmackDown Women's Title from Ronda Rousey.
