Re: What if Ric Flair did not return in 2001?
With the way Flair talks about how he was feeling in 2001, he may of stayed out of the business. Maybe a few appearances for smaller companies here or there, but not anything near the amount he did in the WWE. As far as his legacy goes, I think it would of been similar to Randy Savage. Despite not having the WWE machine behind you claiming that you were the greatest, he was still recent enough that plenty of people would remember him. However, it's the younger generations that wouldn't view him in the same regard. Given time, he may have been forgotten even more similarly to how Dory Funk is remembered amongst younger or casual fans.
