Wrestling legend Bill Apter recently talked about former WWE star David Flair coming out of retirement for his massive fight against Cody Rhodes.
One of the biggest rivalries of the past outside of WWE was between Cody’s father Dusty Rhodes and David’s father Ric Flair. Both legends put on countless classics in the NWA during their intense individual rivalry. Their last singles match was a loss in November 1988, and they rarely crossed paths after that.
In the latest episode of Sportskeida Wrestling Time Machine podcast, host Mac Davis talked about the possibility of WWE taking down Cody Rhodes and Charlotte Flair.
Phil Apter noted that David Flair retired from pro wrestling in 2009 after 14 years of fighting The American Nightmare as the best way forward.
„If David Flair comes out of retirement and does himself, then Cody vs. David Rhodes; let’s do it,” said Phil Apter. [7:48 – 7:58]

Also, Teddy Long explained how WWE could go about creating a feud between Cody and David Flair. The former SmackDown manager said David could be motivated to retire to put his father’s name at the top.
„And you know what. What kicks in is 'That’s the reason I retired. I said I’d never do it again, but I thought about my dad.’ I sat there and said, 'This has been building up in me for years, and I’ve got to do something about it,'” Teddy Long said. [7:59 – 8:21]
Cody Rhodes ended his feud with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2023 with a landslide victory. He then took on Finn Balor in a title match on this week’s RAW, where he was victorious.
