Ric Flair Says NXT Is Better Than TNA And ROH, Feels TNA And ROH Aren't A Factor

Ric Flair has experience in the wrestling business, that goes without saying. He's worked with WWE and TNA, and had a brief association with Ring of Honor before the relationship soured. Despite his previous run with TNA, Flair thinks that NXT is better than both ROH and TNA.

Flair appeared on WrestleTalkTV, where he spoke on NXT.

"I don't think anyone can compete with WWE. It's not just WWE, it's WWE and NXT," Flair said. "You put NXT up against Ring of Honor, you put them up against TNA, what are you gonna watch? You're going to watch NXT, it's a better product. And it's new."

Flair may be a bit biased, as he's currently contracted by WWE. His daughter, Charlotte, also competes for the NXT brand, and is a former NXT Women's champion.

"They're going on the road, they're selling out. Matches are longer, less talking. It's totally different than Smackdown or Raw. The guys are smaller. They're all flying around like Rey Mysterio, then along comes Kevin Owens, and he's a big guy," Flair said.

Flair also said he believes NXT could be on cable whenever the chose too, especially if Vince McMahon really wanted to get behind it.

"If Vince got behind it, and I think he has, they could be on TV tomorrow. I don't see Ring of Honor or TNA even being a factor," Flair said.
