Ric Flair Says WWE Could Have Cesaro Ready For Brock Lesnar in Two Months

November 20, 2015 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– During a recent edition of his WOOOOO! Nation podcast, Ric Flair addressed a number of topics in a fan Q&A session. Here are some highlights…

On Seth Rollins Relocating For Rehab: “Actually, Seth is doing the right thing. He’s going to transfer the flag from Waterloo to Birmingham and stay there for at least two months of rehab, which is the best thing to do. That’s what Hunter did. Hunter just moved right down there when he tore his quad the last time.”

On Getting Cesaro Ready For a Brock Lesnar Feud: I feel like Cesaro, given the opportunity and with a vehicle to convey his thoughts, whether it be through himself or through a manager, which would be me, you could get him ready for Brock Lesnar in two months and the people would believe it. He’s that strong and he’s good [of] a performer. And he’s that big. You’re not going to bounce Cesaro around like a dart.” Flair continued, “I think he could be a great opponent for Brock Lesnar. I mean, you’d need to stay on him because his work is phenomenal, he looks like a million bucks, and he’s stronger than a horse in real life. He’s really strong, strongest guy in the company, and that came right from John Cena.”

On The WWE Title Tournament: “I don’t think they’re going to put Ambrose and Reigns [in the finals] because I don’t know how the crowd would react to that. They’re both kind of like fan favorites and it would be hard for them. I think they’d rather have a definitive good guy/bad guy [match]. I would say Kevin Owens [will face Reigns in the finals] because Kevin’s getting a huge reaction over here [in Europe].” Flair added, “we only have a couple [of] heels that are actually heels all the time. Kevin is one of them, Stephanie [McMahon] being the other.”
