TLDR

Ric Flair told Yahoo Sports Daily that he believes the NBA and NFL have borrowed WWE's presentation style, specifically citing pyrotechnics, entrances, and spectacular show elements that originated from Vince McMahon's approach. Flair stated that WrestleMania remains "the greatest sports spectacular of all" and praised WWE's production values as "second to none." He argued that WWE's pageantry and large-scale production became a model that other major sports leagues have followed over time.
