Backstage Update on Ric Flair's WWE Return & Possible Angle with The Miz or Dolph Ziggler

[Dale]

- PWInsider has confirmed the report from The Wrestling Observer this week that Ric Flair is scheduled to undergo WWE medical testing in Pittsburgh so that he can be brought back to TV as a regular character.

We noted before that Flair wanted to work with Dolph Ziggler. PWInsider notes that idea was shot down. Word going around indeed is that Flair will be put with The Miz again. Flair must past all of WWE's necessary tests before he can be brought back.

I'm not exactly high on Ziggler myself but I honestly think he'd be a far better fit with Flair than Miz ever was as that shit just seem so forced it was horrible. Can't really explain it but I just think Ziggler has more of that swagger about him that fits with Flair.

 

[Deezy]

He did a Fargo strut once, nnow all of a sudden he should be paired with Flair? Why not......Ziggler needs a decent mouthpiece and Miz don't.

Miz should just get more promos talking about how pissed off he is. Better than Zigglers screaming promos.

 

[Defiant]

Agreed that Miz doesn't need a mouthpiece. In fact it's his strongest aspect, so let him handle that himself.

 

[Twitchy]

I could care less for Flair anyways, the last time he was on RAW , he was definitely on something... he seemed way crazy, even for flair.

Apart from one offs I don't really want to see Flair involved anymore either. It might make more sense to pair him with Ziggler out of the two as Miz has fallen so far then it might harder for Flair to have much of an impact on his career. It can only work anyway if Flair doesn't try and upstage the guy which he does have history of.

Miz fallen more than Ziggler? That's a laugh, the guy still doing movies and public appearances has fallen more than the guy one temper tantrum away from being in JTG territory.

 

[Keith]

As far as being over with the fans, and his position on the card then yes Miz has fallen further.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Ziggler is a far better fit than Miz. I can't stand how Miz does the figure four.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Flair doesn't fit either guy. Miz is one of the best promo men in the business, giving him a mouthpiece is Blue, give him a Diva to hang off his arm at most. And Zigglers the crazy athletic guy who wears pink and shakes his ass.

Not to mention Flair on TV is just embarassing. Dude can barely talk coherently thesedays as well.

Being over with the fans? PFFFT.....Ziggler is still just a jobber, while Miz is solidly higher midcard.

 

[PHX]

I think Ziggler can handle himself just fine on the mic personally he just needs more character focus and direction at this point. Same pretty much can be said for Miz as well. Personally think Flair would fit better Dolph though as that dynamic just meshes better to me. Plus last time Miz and Flair were "paired" Miz started using the figure four and well...yeah no.

 

[John McHenry]

Neither really need flair in my opinion they just need the time. They need to not be made to not look weak 5 seconds after the WWE decides to go with them. I mean we see it over and over again the WWE decides on a guy he doesn't get red hot in second and then they decide to start making him lose nonstop. it's horrible.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Yeah WWE needs to get over this idea they have where jobbing guys out is for the best. You look at Miz going from WWE Champ to jobbing to his NXT rookie and then jobbing to everyone else. Or Dolph jobbing post concussion, have to stay with these guys and keep pushing them ala Roman Reigns instead of giving up on them like every other push.

 

[Keith]

Yeah agree with you guys more. To me Miz has just become a comedy attraction but the sort is not allowed to steal the show. He was rushed into the main events anyway, at least with Dolph there was a more logical and steady build up.

 

[Chris]

I don't think either guy needs or would benefit from Flair really. I don't know anyone Flair would be good with managing tbh, could always just stick him with Charlotte.
