Loved it,but I still think the tease was stupid. That was a tease? I thought someone in the production truck screwed up and spoiled the return.

I didn't see much of him in TNA, but boy did he look old last night! Still, great to have him back.
He's said a few times that he's not going to wrestle in WWE, specifically bringing up that his match with HBK was his last. I think he'll probably have a Vince-esque street fight somewhere down the line, but otherwise an on-screen non-wrestling role will please me.

Ok, Ric. It was fun to see you again on WWE TV. Now please leave and don't return.

I really want him to be in Zigglers corner But why? Everyone talks about how Vickie supposedly overshadows Ziggler. Flair would be worse in that regard. Ziggler would never get a chance to talk in between Flair's ranting, WOO-ing, and elbow dropping his jacket. Easy have him be Ziggler's mentor. Dolph can pull it off 10x better than AJ Styles ever could. Zigglers whole look screams limo riding jet flying groupie banging 4 horseman.

Hooray, he's back having learned nothing in his time away, other than the fact he can get away with pretty much anything as no matter what he does, no matter how unprofessional he acts, no matter how much money he steals from people who expect him to act like a professional, there'll be a place in the WWE waiting for him.
Seriously, any spot on the roster should be conditional on him going through rehab and paying back some of the money he's taken.

The saddest part of it all was that, when I heard Ric Flair's theme music, the first thing to pop into my head was "Please, Ric, be sober for this".
The second saddest part of it all was when it became clear that he was not.

I actually really enjoyed the Flair segment.

I was not excited to see him at all, just not entertaining for me. Way to old to even be considered for a wrestling role, and I have found anything he'd done in TNA very annoying, so I'm hoping his TV appearances are kept to as few as possible.

I think he's done enough in the business to be given a part-time, easy dollar role. They cashed in on his retirement I think they should be decent enough to give him a little retirement fund. He'd likely burn through it in a coupla months. History has shown that dude is never gonna grow up.

And all I have to say is... BOOOOOOOOOO! And all I have to say is I'm glad you WWE fans have him, you can keep his decrepit old, washed up, has been ass. I'll stick to ROH, TNA & the Indies so my TV viewing can remain Flair free.

Come on guys, this is Ric Flair we're talking about here. He's not some nobody from the minor leagues who only 15 people really know of, it's Ric f***ing Flair. And we should be fair to Flair and just let the guy take his spot at Mania...against Punk.

And we should be fair to Flair and just let the guy take his spot at Mania...against Punk. f*** no! Flair in his prime never really did much for me; Flair 20 years past his prime is, frankly, next to worthless in anything other than an ambassadorial role or part of a booking team.

According to the Wrestling Observer's news update, Flair was just there for one night. He hasn't signed a new deal with WWE... yet.
"-- At the moment, Ric Flair is not signed to WWE and last night's appearance was a one-time deal. "

It was hard to watch for me.
To be honest, I kind of think that Vince gave Ric a payday just to keep him afloat for a little while. It's in his best interest for Ric to not become a total shell of what he once was. Can you imagine the bad PR if Ric really hit rock bottom?

I loved seeing him out there. And I'd love to see him wrestle again. To hell with the lot of you.

Poor Flair - according to that promo last night, his financial troubles have left him wearing knock-off "Rolox" watches. Rolox cracked me up. ;D

Stealing money from promotions, getting divorced multiple times over a few years and being an all around scumbag in other ways is hitting rock bottom. If Flair was living on the streets tomorrow, no big celeb outlet is going to put too much worry into it, because the people who are going to learn about it are the same ones that already know what kind of a man he is.
