Surely no one is really shocked by this though, right? Wrestlers are terribad at staying retired. .... You don't say

I'd sell them on ebay. Could probably get some good money out of it.

Considering how deep in the hole he is, legacy doesn't mean crap. As a wrestling fan, I'd hate to see him get in the ring on a full time basis again. But considering the obstacles he's facing, he can't just sit on his hands to appease the smart marks.

Here's the sad thing: If he starts wrestling again, he'll probably get married again.
Without a prenup.

But there are other routes he could take, rather than spitting in the face of every fan who felt he was actually hanging it up for good that night at Mania.

If Flair gets that dog suit gimmick that some guy on this board proposed for him, he needs to start saying SQUIRREL in his interviews. "I'm the stylin' and profilin', limousine ridin', son of a...SQUIRREL!"
I still don't know why a guy as bad as Flair at managing his money would attempt to run a financial company.

The premise of this thread is absurd. I hate the cliche of "put food on the table" as some kind of pathetic plea that the stated option is the only one the person can ever take. Guess what? Thousands of people around the United States have had to shift between stations of life, places of work, and living standards. Tons are in far, far worse situations that Flair. Why is life so hard for him and why am I supposed to feel sorry for a guy who thrives in this high-end lifestyle that he's been living for decades? If you are a wrestler with a name (I mean, a name worth some value -- not referring to jobbers or barely midcarders), I am sure you can push your way into a backstage spot or even a handful of miscellaneous on-air positions (such as a commentator or GM).
I really enjoyed Flair's last match. It should stay his last one. Obviously, wrestlers are awful at retiring but I figured Flair was above that. Guess not.

Flair's legacy died about a decade ago. From being used as a laughing stock in the final days of WCW to jobbing out to Rico and Kenny Dykstra, the guy's been the biggest joke in wrestling over the past 10 years.
I say bring him back and job him out to Beth Phoenix at Wrestlemania 26.

I'd be one of those pathetic attention-whores that Jericho was calling the legends. Whatever pays the bills, kid, whatever pays the bills.

Well they coulda struck gold with Flair in HBK's place in his story line with JBL where he was "broke". Or if he fueds against Legacy, It could have a heel Flair return, as the Million Dollar Man gets Naitch to join his son?
