Ric Flair - WWE Update

i'm glad to see the nature boy back even if it is for a couple of weeks

I'm personally already sick of the random Flair returns.

He's been saying things like 'i'm better than 90% of the guys on the roster'. Bullshit. The guy is 60 and whilst he's in amazing condition for a 60 year old, something like sunday night where he did a shane mcmahon (destroying legacy on his own) looked completely ridiculous.

I don't think he should return to the ring, at all. Obviously WWE wouldn't be happy if he returned to another organisation though, so i guess they will try and appease him.

I personally don't mind Flair coming back and wrestling. Yeah it will ruin the emotional retirement thing last year but overall, I don't care if he returns. Some people say that they will lose alot of respect for Flair if he wrestles again but not me. If he needs the money, what other choice does he really have? Signing autographs and whatnot isn't making him enough money so returning to the ring is basically the only option for big quick money. I have no problem with Flair returning to the ring.

The big offers in Japan thing makes me wonder....

Kobashi/Flair? Muta/Flair? Misawa/Flair? I sure hope that one of those things is what they're referring to.

Japan don't want Flair anymore, his retirement hype/aura has gone.

And I'm with Ken, Flair has Foley'd his retirement pretty fucking quickly.

Flair has been offered megabucks to wrestle in Japan.

Yeah, last year.

Ah well they must because in the post Japan is mentioned with the words big offers in front of it.

Also it's easy for us to say all of these things because we're obviously not Flair. We don't know what it feels like to wrestle for 36 years then retire. Flair loves the business and if he feels like he still wants to wrestle and still do what he loves, he has all my respect. I respect that he still has the drive and the passion to go out there at his age to do what he loves. I don't think retiring and then coming out of retirement ruins ones legacy because that legacy isn't based off whether he retires or not, that legacy was built a long time ago from different reasons.

Eh, if he was wrestle for Japan there would only be one option. He has no association with NOAH, at all, and they don't care for Americans nor are they in a financial position to foot his bill. Ditto All Japan on the last point. New Japan is the only one he has any connection with and the only wrestler there he has worked with before is Chono.

And I would also say part of having a good career is knowing when to hang up the boots and walk away. He hasn't even wrestled (yet) and he's already outstaying his welcome for me.
