WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair recently spoke with Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, and below are some interview highlights.
On Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam:
“This is a big couple of weeks for wrestling,” said Flair. “WWE has come up with something creative for Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, and I’m really looking forward to watching.”
“It’s not the individuals who make the match any more, it’s the promotion,” said Flair. “The fact that Roman has wrestled Brock three different times and not been successful shows the constant belief from the company that Roman’s ready to be the leader.”
On his current health:
“It’s almost a year ago, August 14, when I went through everything with my surgery,” said Flair. “But now I feel great. I just had another surgery a couple weeks ago to reverse the stoma. Now I need a couple of months of rest, and I still can’t work out yet, but I feel fantastic. It’s a miracle.”
“I’m not physically banged up,” said Flair. “I feel great. My knees, elbows, and back, they don’t bother me at all right now. When I look at my friends with back operations, hip replacements, knee replacements, I’m just thankful I’m in one piece because so many have been through a lot.

“Hulk has had like nine back operations. Guys in my generation and even the generation younger than me are all physically banged up much more than me, but I’m lucky to be doing great. Thank you to all who’ve asked.”
