During a recent episode of his podcast, Ric Flair spoke about why he is a fan of AEW\’s Young Bucks. Co-host Mark Madden expressed surprise that Flair would be a fan of theirs considering the new-school and high-spot focussed style they have wrestled over the years. Flair, however, listed several reasons why he likes Matt & Nick Jackson.
\”I can identify somebody being able to do something I couldn\’t have done. I can honestly tell ya, I could have learned how to do a moonsault, I could have learned how to do a couple of things the kids can do but the stuff they do, I could have never done,\” Flair said.
\”I was a division 1 athlete but the things those guys do, similar to the Usos and the bumps they take, I can\’t help but respect them. Plus, they are really nice, respectable kids. I know that word respect is probably used too much by me, but when you\’ve got my respect, you\’ve got me.\”
