Ric Flair has often stated his appreciation of Randy Orton and believes The Viper is the best worker in WWE. Flair has said that he believes Orton is underutilized by WWE. He touched on the matter in his interview with Casino Beats.

Flair also explained why he wouldn’t necessarily have wanted to face Gunther and talked about Chris Jericho praising TNA recently. You can see the highlights below:

On If He Would Have Liked To Face Gunther:

“Has Gunther ever been a babyface? I don’t know how it would go because I’m a terrible babyface. I’m a great heel, but I’m a terrible babyface. So I don’t know. I’ll stick with Roman Reigns. I’ll tell you what, the best worker in the company right now is Randy Orton.”

On How Orton Should Be Booked:

“Well, he came back from that back injury, but it really all depends on his health. He’s made a lot of money, so he probably can do anything he wants to do. If you give Randy a good opponent and he’s on, he’s the best, second only to my daughter!”

On Chris Jericho Saying TNA Looked Like the ‘Second Biggest Company’ At Bound For Glory:

“Oh, I like AEW much more than TNA. I don’t know much about TNA because I haven’t seen it. AEW has some really great performers.
