Ric Flair says Tony Khan still pays him despite doing no work for AEW

In an interview on NewsNation’s Biff podcast, 16-time world champion Ric Flair praised AEW President Tony Khan, calling him a nice and generous guy after revealing that he still gets paychecks from AEW while doing nothing for them.

Flair said he thinks Khan takes care of him out of respect because he grew up watching him.

“He’s a nice guy, he’s generous. I work for him, and I don’t do anything,” Flair said. “He’s just a wonderful guy.”

Flair also labeled Tony Khan as probably “the greatest promoter of all time,” although he’s not as smart as Vince McMahon yet.

“But only through, you know…years and years [of experience]. Because Vince was really smart and very clever. But Tony’s a great guy, generous to a fault,” he continued.

Flair also said that WWE has been great to him and with his daughter one of the major stars in the company, he wouldn’t talk bad about WWE or TKO.
