From J.R.'s blog... J.R. talks about the WWE signing Ric Flair's son Reid to a developmental contract.
-Ross on Reid Flair, who is headed to WWE developmental in Tampa: "Reid Flair is going to have to work long and hard and demonstrate great patience and professionalism, while in the WWE Developmental Camp in Tampa, to ever have a chance of casting his own shadow and stepping out from his Dad’s...
"I am genuinely anxious to see Reid Flair’s progress over the next year or so. Much will be expected of Reid, but he can’t forget to have fun learning the family business and that would be the kind of fun a young athlete has inside the facility wrestling and learning new things every day.
"Not the kind of fun like Reid’s Dad, often time accompanied by J.R., used to have when we had no issues ordering 100 cocktails at a time in a bar. I am pulling big time for Reid Flair to simply be 'his own man' because there will never be another 'the man.' Reid was an outstanding amateur wrestler, which will bode well for him while he is learning the ropes.

I agree with JR. Reid needs to create his own monster of sorts. He should not ever use his dad's legacy imo. He's going to have to do alot to get to where he wants to go.
Hi Bubba here, I think he has a long way to go.
I wish him the best I mean being a son of a legend in this business will cast a shadow that is hard to overcome.
