Ric Flair had an illustrious career inside the squared circle and it seems he has big dreams for his daughter Charlotte in the ring as well.
Sheamus Wants The WWE Universe To 'Kiss Me Arse'
Flair spoke with Wrestlingnews.co and was asked about a fantasy match between Charlotte, whose real name is Ashley, and Ronda Rousey at WrestleMania 33 in two years, and "The Nature Boy" said he'd be all about it.
"Let's do it man, that's what I wanna see," Flair told the site. "Charlotte's not afraid to get in there. In all fairness, if she had a year to train, I'm not Ashley would win by any means, but if she had a year to get ready for it, it wouldn't end in Round 1...I'll predict that. It wouldn't be a 14-second tap out. Ashley would need to learn submission wrestling, but Ashley is strong beyond belief. Today, think about it right, she could do 30 front handed pull ups and 100 pushups. She can run at Level 9 for an hour on a treadmill and she weights 155 lbs with 3 percent body fat."
5 Best WWE Extreme Rules Matches Of All Time
Charlotte became the second NXT Women's Champion in history after winning the vacant title at NXT Takeover last May by defeating Natalya in the finals of an eight-woman tournament with her father by her side.
Charlotte has since dropped the belt to Sasha Banks, but that was more than likely an indication that she's coming up to the main roster soon as the WWE reportedly is looking for an influx of Divas to call up. There is a need for Divas now that AJ Lee retired and Paige is on hiatus to film a movie.
Rousey is an avid WWE fan and appeared in a tremendous segment with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 31 last month at Levi's Stadium.
The reigning UFC Women's Bantamweight champion is open to working with the WWE again in the near future.
Flair said he enjoys watching UFC when it involves Rousey and current WWE star Brock Lesnar, who retired from the Octagon in 2011.
"I am [a fan of UFC] when Brock Lesnar or Ronda Rousey [fight] otherwise I'm not," Flair said. "Actually I like Jon Jones. Yeah, I like him. He's tremendous. Brock doesn't [fight] anymore and I'm a big fan of Ronda. I think Ronda is fantastic."
Lastly, Flair, who hasn't wrestled a WWE match since WrestleMania XXIV in 2008 when Shawn Michaels retired him (though he did wrestle in TNA), said he could compete right now if he wanted to, but he isn't going to.
"I could wrestle tomorrow," he said. "I wouldn't want to be in the main event of WrestleMania but if I had to wrestle [Hulk] Hogan tomorrow I could pull that off or a guy like Kane. He's the best in the world. I could wrestle Randy Orton blindfolded."
