Speaking on the Five Star Podcast, Ricky Morton explained why that made Flair the greatest World Champion ever.

"Ric Flair was the greatest World Champion ever. I'm not saying he was the best worker or that. He was the best World Champion ever. I know for a fact, when you paid to see him, he gave you your money's worth. If he didn't go an hour, he went 58 minutes. That was just him. We did this every night. You didn't do a show and off three days. This was every night of the week and twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday. I watched him and he educated me while watching his stuff. The greatest thing you could ever do is watch him. He was the greatest World Champion ever just for that. Just to make sure the wrestling fans were never disappointed," said Morton.

Morton is set to attend AEW Collision alongside his Rock N' Roll Express tag team partner Robert Gibson on Saturday, January 4.
