Flair: I want Cena at WM if he hits 16th World Title

[héad.casé]

On the subject of Cena's pursuit of world title reign number 16, Flair indicated that he hopes Cena ties his record.

"Well, first of all, I text John. I love John. He's always, even when I'm not there, he throws me name out there and keeps me in the public eye. I would be elated if John got that. I mean, he [has] worked hard enough and it's never going to affect my legacy. I think the world of John Cena as a person, as a man."

Flair added, "but I think the world of John and I think that when I look at what he has done for the company, and, of course, the company has done a lot for him, but his work ethic is incredible. He's a great guy. He's a great ambassador. And if he won that title for the sixteenth time, I'd be the first to congratulate him."

'The Dirtiest Player In The Game' admitted that he would love to face Cena at WrestleMania if Cena wins his sixteenth world championship. Flair went on to say that there is no big name he did not wrestle with except for Cena and the former members of The Shield.

"Well, I would love for John Cena to win the title and them to give me six months to get ready because I could wrestle again very easily, but I would need six months just for cosmetics and a couple months of everyday training in the ring at the [WWE] Performance Center. I would love that, for that to happen. I don't think it ever will, but I could be in that kind of shape if I got the head's up in the next month or so." Flair said, "I wrestled everybody except for John, in a single, and, of course, The Shield, the new guys, and that. There's nobody I missed. I think that's what makes my career unique, is I wrestled everybody"

Almost everybody on FAN will hate this idea.

I'd be game.

Well, I do like the storyline.
If Cena hits 16, Flair comes back for one more match to try and make the record solely his again.
Match could be fun with the proper shortcuts.

I'm not sure if this will happen. Cena seems to be go away more and more from wrestling, he'll film his show soon. They had him lose clean twice recently and it has a feel of how they view him at this point in time.

They should make it a thing, Cena saying that he'll retire but going for one last run as Champ and just when he has the match for the title, Flair sneaks in and cost him the title.

[Prince Petty]

For once, I'd be a full blooded Cena fan. This is a terrible idea.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

He wasn't even seriously talking about, just saying that he could.

If Cena was a heel and mercilessly destroyed him I would be totally on board.

Flair wants to make money shocker

I like the Storyline but the kicker would be if Flair could hold up his end at this point and I'm not entirely sure he could.

No. Just....no

At least he's realistic and acknowledges it would take several months for him to be presentable to the fans, even if that is unlikely due to his age and lifestyle. Most of the carny lot of his era would have the delusion that they would be able to be a credible challenger to Cena tomorrow.

I don't think that's being realistic. No amount of training could get him in Wm shape. He looked old and flabby when he faced hbk. Now he's like a decade older than that.

Much as I hate veterans stealing the spotlight, as a midcard spectacle match this wouldn't be something I'd be against. Far as I'm concerned his TNA run is non-canon, so this is the only acceptable storyline reason for him to come out of retirement, for me. Though I think Flair should keep his record.

[Fake Jesus]

I guess I'll go against the majority and say this could probably be a fun gimmick match if it was just Flair cheating in continually more hilarious ways until Cena finally gets him with a single move and pins him.

[Deleted]

I want to see Flair just come out and go, "I actually had 20+ world titles. LOL."

Cena absolutely murdering Ric Flair would be the way to turn him heel. It'd look great, easy heat (especially if you do it in NC) and it will absolutely never happen.

He also wants another drink.

[Tiger Millionaire]

In what, a drinking contest?

[CMWaters]

I'd more buy into Charlotte beating John Cena in a match these days than current Ric Flair beating Cena in one.

[celtics543]

I don't need to see Ric wrestling again. However I do like the idea of Cena getting his 16th reign, turning heel, and just wrecking Ric Flair in North Carolina at some point. It'd be nice if he could leave Ric a bloody mess to get maximum heat. If you want to keep Cena as a face then having a series of matches where Flair just keeps screwing him out of winning the title could be fun.

[Push R Truth]

In a match? Ah hell no.

Some variation of Cena wrecking him or interacting with him as he breaks his record? Sure, I'll go with it. Flair has some value as long as he's not wrestling.
