The 16-time world champion talked to BuzzFeed via phone about NXT, the state of women’s wrestling, and Roman Reigns.

So, this is "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair:

While there are many great names in the world of professional wrestling, few hold the legendary status of Ric Flair. With a successful wrestling career that has lasted more than 40 years, Flair has wrestled all over the world and in almost every major wrestling company in the United States including World Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, and WWE. He's a 16-time world champion and a WWE Hall of Famer. This man is, without question, a wrestling legend.

He believes that Roman Reigns is "most definitely" the right guy to headline WrestleMania:

"I think he's awesome. He's a very classy kid, a great athlete, great amateur background; he played [football] for Georgia Tech, I mean, give me a break. He's a great kid. He comes from a great [wrestling] family … I couldn't be prouder to know somebody [like him]. I think he's going to be a great asset to the WWE for a long time."
