During a recent appearance on the “Five Star” podcast, Ricky Morton lavished praise on Ric Flair, calling him the greatest world champion of all time.

Flair has held the World Title twenty-one times, of which only sixteen are recognized.

Morton said, "Ric Flair was the greatest World Champion ever. I'm not saying he was the best worker or that. He was the best World Champion ever. I know for a fact, when you paid to see him, he gave you your money's worth. If he didn't go an hour, he went 58 minutes. That was just him. We did this every night. You didn't do a show and off three days. This was every night of the week and twice on Saturday and twice on Sunday. I watched him and he educated me while watching his stuff. The greatest thing you could ever do is watch him. He was the greatest World Champion ever just for that. Just to make sure the wrestling fans were never disappointed."

During a recent interview with “Screen Rant,” Adam “Cope” Copeland expressed his desire to be on every AEW show so that he can work with as many wrestlers as possible.

Copeland said, "To me, it's, 'Let's squeeze as much juice as we can out of this,' you know? I have a list of people that I want to work and it's quite a few, ao I'd like to just kind of get back in the truck, in the way I was before. I think now, with Rated FTR and those different elements, now you can get some really fun combinations and you got three guys who are amazing friends, who have natural chemistry. I'm really looking forward to seeing what we can create as a trio. So that's going to be really — yeah, just throw me on every show and let's, let's go for it while we can go for it. That's one of the reasons I came to AEW, is let's maximize what I got left while I got it, so that that's my plan anyway, going forward," he continued. "Get in with as many different talents as I can and also try and craft some really, really cool stories in that process too, because that's probably my favorite aspect of what we do is, is creating and compiling and putting moving parts into stories, and, 'How many characters can we get involved and then they segue out, this one comes in.' I love that."
