So how long before Ric challenges Dutch to a match and insists THAT is his last match.

it's just more proof that Richard Fliehr does not exist anymore. I have my doubts Fleihr survived the plane crash. In all seriousness, when Reid passed away I think that officially broke his grasp on reality

In all seriousness, when Reid passed away I think that officially broke his grasp on reality I think a lot of the issues were already there, but I do agree that Reid's death was basically the last vestige of responsibility he felt towards anyone or anything dying, which has to feel super for his other children, but I am sure they get it.

I also think that during the Evolution run he tried to live the part like he did in the Horseman days, never minding that he was already at an age where his body wasn’t going to handle that kind of lifestyle the way it once had.

Ric Flair's actual last match is gonna be to promote Plane Ride From Heaven Ric Flair Drip Infused Prerolls Owned By Parent Company Tyson 2.0. Ric's gonna be just folded not moving in the ring and Mike's gonna come on like "ladies and gentlemen..I gifth you...couchlock.." to a distressed audience when suddenly he's like "but fear not.." and HOLY SHIT HE'S GOT THE TYSON 2.0 CRACKTOAD SATIVA HYBRID PREROLL OH MY GOD RIC'S ALIVE THE POWER OF MEDICINAL CANNABIS HAS SAVED RIC FLAIR.

Not kidding, there is a good chance that Flair, like others from his era who also had long, physical in-ring careers, has some serious CTE. Not Benoit level, but enough to be causing issues now. His judgment and emotional regulation just seem to be getting worse, and his health and money problems and personal losses are probably all feeding into it. Twenty years ago, it felt like he had more tact/diplomacy and at least some kind of filter. Isn't Arn even no longer speaking to him?

Ric most likely does have CTE, problem is he has been this way for a very long time Yes, 20 years ago there was a little more "human" but he was still this same guy. There isn't some massive mood swing to really be like damn this man is clearly out his mind. It is more like his mind has slowly gone over the years and he honestly never thought he would live to be this old and is just doing what he want

I heard if you string together the capitalized letters from every Ric Flair tweet and chant the result into a mirror by candlelight, you'll summon the Black Scorpion.

So how long before Ric challenges Dutch to a match and insists THAT is his last match. In fairness, I really think Conrad doesn’t want him to wrestle again. When Flair dies in the ring or as a result, it would be his ass. He’s made a few side comments to Foley about not letting Ric get the idea to wrestle again.

You look at the two biggest stars of the 80's in Hogan and Flair, and you think they should be happily retired and living comfortably, on top of the world. But they both live two of the saddest existances I can think of. You can't help but pity them both to some degree, it's so pathetic.

I've stayed off of the Ric Flair hate train for forever, and I still don't hate someone I don't even know in real life, but..
When someone starts losing all their long time friends and flagrantly talks actual shit about people he doesn't have to, it makes it hard to be likeable.

I think more drug and alcohol related issues combined with some mental health issues than CTE. His issues go back decades, we just have the ability to witness them now. No one is there to cover for him like in the past.

At this point, I think Ric will always be my favorite in-ring performer (Bobby Heenan is my all-around favorite) but he is a a non-stop train wreck. And it’s really his own doing.

These days, at times, Ric Flair gives me second hand embarrassment.
