Over the years, there have been plenty of debates between professional wrestling fans regarding who is the G.O.A.T or greatest of all time in professional wrestling. Recently, Ric Flair took to social media to put forward his disagreement after coming across an opinion piece that suggested Chris Jericho is the current G.O.A.T of professional wrestling.

Addressing this issue during the recent episode of Ric Flair WOOOOO Nation Uncensored Podcast, Mark Madden asked the WWE legend about this matter.

In reply to this, Ric Flair said, “You just can’t take my name off. So, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Steamboat [Ricky Steamboat] right, there’s nobody, not just Chris that ever gonna be one of them. Nobody. Not me. I was never as technically gifted as any of them.”

“You cannot compare Chris or anybody else. It’s nothing personal against Chris. I have been there. I think he’s great. This is nothing against Chris Jericho. But he nor me, nor a lot of people are going to be Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart or Ricky Steamboat,” he added.
