Ric Flair Claims Today’s WWE Roster Lacks Style

Two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair claims today’s WWE roster lacks style in a recent interview with Esquire. Flair discusses his thoughts on today’s talent’s style, his philosophy on looking good at all times, how much he spends on clothing options, and more.

Flair begins by talking about today’s stars and their lack of style, saying,

“Kids today can’t touch us. Are you kidding? I spent more money on one robe than guys spend in five years. All they are now is markin’ their T-shirts. I wish I would have thought of that. We didn’t have T-shirts back then. You don’t see anybody dress elaborately anymore. It’s much more casual than it was, but my clothes and my ring attire—I thought up half of what I brought to the show.”

He then goes on to discuss who made his robes and how the boas, colors, and designs were picked out,

“Did I come up with the idea? Yeah. But like everything else, I went overboard. If one was nice, then I wanted one nicer. Then I wanted the next one nicer. It’s my own fault. But I had a phenomenal seamstress. She made all the stuff for Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, all the rhinestone cowboys. She knew how to make it.”

He then comments on what he was wearing during the interview, saying,

“Well, I didn’t wear the alligators [points to his shoes] because of the snow, but this is all Zegna. Want me to prove it to you? Look! [Whips open his sport coat.] Italian! Everything Italian! Handmade Italian shirt. All custom-made. You gotta have a pocket square, I think. [Flair smiles, re-opens his blazer, points to his belt.] Alligator, see? $600, brother. All the way.”

Flair then offers one last piece of advise to anyone reading, saying,

“Well, I just think, you know, fashion is more casual today. If you have notoriety, you can dress any way you want to dress. That’s the way it is. I just like to get dressed up. I think that they go hand in hand—notoriety and people lookin at ya. If they look at ya, either you look like a million dollars or you don’t. A guy can have a phenomenal body, but if the suit doesn’t fit him, forget it.”
