On his podcast, Ric Flair said a Cruiserweight like Finn Balor will NEVER Main Event Wrestlemania.
Well, i guess Jericho and Bryan were Super Heavyweights when they main evented Wrestlemania.

"WWE Hall of Famer The Ric commented on this past week's Raw main event between Finn Balor and Roman Reigns on his latest podcast:

"I thought Roman should have won. And I know Finn Bálor to say 'hi' only. I'm a big fan of Roman Reigns. And I'll be honest with you: Finn Bálor reminds me of 'The Dynamite Kid'. Does that make sense? They're very similar in appearance, same kind of work, and, I mean, he's a great performer. God, I'm certainly not taking anything away from his performance or the match, but I'm a fan of Roman Reigns, so I'm saying something that I'm partial about. I think Roman, to me, has one of the greatest looks ever in the [professional wrestling] business. He's as handsome as can be. He speaks well. He got his self-confidence back. He has been through some ups and downs, which we all go through in life, but, I mean, I'm just a big fan of his. That doesn't take anything away from Finn Bálor and where I think where I see Dolph against [Dean Ambrose] as being huge at SummerSlam, I see that as being a bigger match than to see Finn Bálor versus Seth Rollins. I just think Seth [has] got too much experience. And like I said before about Randy, Seth Rollins is the second Randy Orton. He's that good."

Re: Charlotte's dad takes a shot at Finn Balor

To be fair, neither did Flair. :draper2
Are you fucking serious? Flair is a legend. He never had to main event WM, ever. He retired at WM in one of the best story telling matches of all time. Finn Balor will never reach that kind of level. Flair is right, drunk, or sober.

'Charlotte's dad' gave me a good giggle :lol

Ric talks crap to be honest though, he probably thinks his daughter has a great chance of main eventing Mania too.

Exactly what I thought when I read it. Also Ric Flair never main evented a Wrestlemania.
............... Flair was in WCW/NWA for the vast majority of his prime and he did main event their big show, Starcade, from memory, quite a bit.

Wait a minute...didn't Daniel Bryan headline a Wrestlemania already? Hasn't Shawn Michaels headlined WM multiple times?

First he tells fans they can't boo Reigns, then he whines about Styles and Gallows making a joke while impersonating him, now he is bashing Finn Balor.

Seriously go home Ric, you are drunk. No wonder his own daughter got him swerved and demoted him to being "Charlotte's dad" :lol

Re: Ric Flair takes a shot at Finn Balor

When I saw this in the list of topics all I could see of the title was "Ric Flair takes a shot" and I thought, well this is not news. He drinks EVERYDAY. As far as what he said, I wonder if he is taking bets. While it is possible Finn does not, I mean there is only one WM main event each year, it would not surprise me in the least to see him in one of them one day.
