There has been a lot of criticism leveled at WWE for Ric Flair appearing on the RAW brand as the player/coach of Randy Orton over the past weeks, but the wily veteran seems to be having a ball in his current role.
On an episode of Busted Open Radio, Flair would open up about his role on WWE RAW (transcribed by Fightful) and how he wants to mix it up with the 24/7 Champion R-Truth for the title.
I keep wanting them to let me wrestle R-Truth for the 24/7 Title [Laughs]. I'm getting to the level where I'm comfortable. I'm like, 'Can I just get into character one time?' Talking generically is killing me.

So, can you envision a scenario, where at the age of 71, Ric Flair pins R-Truth to become the 24/7 Champion on WWE RAW?
It wouldn't be the most prestigious win of his career but it could certainly shake things up in a picture that has lacked a lot of direction, to be honest.
