During the latest edition of the WOOOOO! Nation podcast, Ric Flair spoke about AJ Styles and how good Flair thinks he is.

“AJ is one of the greatest babyfaces of all time. When he wants to be, he can be soft and mellow, which he really is in real life. He’s a very humble guy. He’s very likable. He can do anything.”

On the comparison of AJ Styles to Bryan Danielson:

“Bryan Danielson is very good, but he’s not AJ Styles.”

On how WWE should book Cody Rhodes:

“Cody is a really good talker. I’d have him go out there to say what it takes from the heart, and he would be very well received,” Ric continued.

“He’s really pulled his dad’s legacy. It’s come full circle back with WWE. His dad was such a big star for so many years. I think if he walked out the door in Texas, of course his dad is from Austin, dressed up, which he’s into clothes, which you know, I’m a big fan of that. I’d make him the hottest heel in the country.”

“Actually, I would listen to what the crowd said when he walked out at Mania. That would be my opinion. I would say walk out there. Let it breathe. Let the crowd chant what they think.”
