Reid Flair

Is Reid under contract with anyone, and if so is there enough material to base an export on? Does one exist? I'm gonna run through all the exports on TNMUK as we speak, but I was just curious.

Reid Flair has a developmental deal with WWE.  I don't know if he's actually wrestled at all yet though in any actual matches.

He's signed under the WWE developmental deal with Florida Championship Wrestling. Unlike David, he has an amateur wrestling background and charisma, like Ric does. I'd say clone the Ric Flair export but reduce some of the stats like workrate. I think he'll eventually be on par with Ric. (Wishful thinking maybe, we need another Ric Flair).

I think his first WWE angle will be a team with Cody Rhodes. When he teams with Cody, he'll have his brown hair he has now and he'll say he wants to be his own man and not follow in Ric's "dirty" ways. As the months go on, he'll change...Maybe with some encouragement from a third source like a Melina or Armando Estrada and turn on Cody and start the era of the Nature Boy again. Then, in more wishful thinking, he'll be the one to retire HBK.

I think we'd be more likely to see Cody dye his hair blond and be the one to turn heel while Reid stays face... so they can both be the opposite of their dads.

A Flair can only stay a face for so long before their true colors start to show. Although, it would be an interesting twist most wouldn't expect. I just don't see Cody as having the heelish personality.

That being said... look for Cody's heelishness in the upcoming weeks on RAW as he becomes a bigger pain in the ass than Bob Holly is.

Too bad there are no bad guy managers like a Gary Hart to instigate a heel turn.

that's because every time the WWE tries to bring out a heel manager, they start getting cheered... look at Armando Alejandro Estrada... he started getting face reaction so they made him ECW GM,, just so he wouldn't be able to get into a live crowd singalong with him saying his name.

Edge is one of the few guys in the modern era of wrestling that GETS being a heel and relishes in doing a more than believeable job at intentionally getting people to hate him.  It is a shame that the art of working as a true heel has become a lost art, as most would rather be the nWo like "cool heel".
