Ric Flair reacts to being mentioned during heated promo on AEW Dynamite

16-time world champion Ric Flair shared his two cents on his name being uttered during a fiery promo on AEW Dynamite.

Earlier tonight, Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) discussed his upcoming Full Gear match for the world championship against Jon Moxley. During the promo, he said that him becoming a world champion could potentially usher in a new era.

The Salt of the Earth then listed examples of legends who were game-changers in the wrestling business. Names like WWE legends Bruno Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and John Cena were mentioned as generational talents. Friedman claimed that he would be like them too.
