WWE Hall of Famer doubts CM Punk and Bryan Danielson impact on AEW
The Nature Boy Ric Flair appeared on the Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast (h/t Wrestling Inc.), where he was asked about the impact of CM Punk and Bryan Danielson signing with AEW.
Flair said that they have been two of the greatest stars in the world of wrestling, but since they arrived at the AEW scenes, not much has changed in the rating. He said that ratings are something that everyone looks at, and they have not really contributed to it.
“Well, if I’m looking at the ratings, I don’t know what [CM Punk and Bryan Danielson] have contributed to. Yes, as you said, they’re certainly both big stars in the business, both had a lot of success,” Ric Flair said. “But I don’t know how to answer that question because all you can do, as we do with football or any other show, is look at the ratings.”
WWE Hall of Famer said on the podcast that both Dynamite and Rampage have exceeded `1 million views in the past but since both the stars have arrived their ratings have been fluctuating and has not been stable.
“I mean, I think they’ll go up, but to me, that show should never do less than 1.1 million,” “If they get there once, bring in all this talent, and then go back [under 1 million], then there’s something wrong.”
It was also reported that The Nature Boy will be present to see his daughter Charlotte Flair face Becky Lynch at Survivor Series PPV this Sunday.
