Considering how Ric Flair treated Teddy Long back in the day, I think it's safe to assume that Ric considers Mark Henry to be "one of the good ones" or something. This is so totally unnecessary that it’s not even funny. Come on, man.

They need to rebrand as Anaconda Malt Energy Drink No!!! Anaconda Malt Energy Drink gives you Little Richard!!! I don't know, trading Ric Flair for Marc Mero in blackface seems like a lateral move at best

You remember the stories about the Hart family backstage at Mania 26, where they were all runnign their mouths on a ton of insane ideas, booking concepts, insertions of themselves, and suggestions, resulting in Bruce Hart basically trying to book that year's Summerslam? Ric Flair is like three Hart families rolled up into one guy.

Can wrestling companies come together and agree not to do business with Flair anymore? He adds nothing but eventual headaches Wondering if Billy Corgan is gullible enough to give him a chance (or two?). Honestly, he just might, like even MLW may pass, but NWA might think it's worth doing.

I mean Billy kind does mark on the NWA tradition. Who better than the biggest name in NWA history. He brought him in before, so that is a trainwreck partnership waiting to happen I think.

At least he didn't immediately shit on the entire company after leaving/not getting another payday, like other older guys do.
...that's about the only nice thing I have to say about Ric Flair here. Good riddance.

I think it's sad that Ric has diminished himself so much that the nicest thing we can say about him now is "well at least he left AEW without making a scene"

How long until they quietly rebrand to Yooooooo! Energy. Make it Hooooooooooooooo! Energy. With a role model we can all aspire to be. It would be your Patriotic Duty as an American(even if you aren't one) to buy at least two cans a day. Tough Guy!

Flair wanting to make Sting's retirement about getting himself at the very end is the most predictable thing ever. This (and the sexual misconduct and the addiction and behavior issues) is exactly why you don't put Ric Flair on your show after 2008. Maybe I’m just projecting because I’m not a very confident person and I often fear the worst about what people think of me, but…does Ric just at any moment stop and wonder for even a second “you know, am I embarrassing myself here? Am I doing enough of a reality check on myself to confirm whether I’m actually being cool here or if what I’m doing might be something a reasonable person might find cringeworthy?” The man is too old to excusably be this much of a mess.

I actually think the guy is very self-conscious and he never wants to be perceived as old. I think it's why he's still dressing in the extremely loud suits, wearing the chains, always wearing sunglasses, etc.
