Regarding Ric Flair, there were changes made in plans. What that means for the angle going forward is anyone's guess, but it's clearly not a positive. He is booked for Bridgeport on Monday, but given the direction of that show, everything but Vince's show storyline is likely to be lost in the shuffle.

He was only off 1 episode of Raw, people over react.
Also, wouldn't it make sense in the story that Flair would take as few bookings as possible and only do his minimum contracted dates?

I expect an update soon where they basically report the same thing but say that there's also a good chance that the stroyline will continue on.

Flair is 60-something, we can't expect a Goldbergesque winning streak week after week, consisting in cheap wins via DQ/interference/roll-up...
IF they're building something for Mania, they'll have to spare Flair a lot to keep the story vaguely credible

He's going to job to Funaki on HEAT, and that'll be it. Then he'll be back in a few months... repackaged as... SPARTACUS!

I think that Flair shouldn't be on all the time, because every match he has should be really special. Maybe next week he comes on, and someone else challenges him to a match the week after that.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions right away, but I thought about this same thing yesterday before I read this. I really do hope the story keeps going, because I'm really lovin' it.

I would be for it going away if he just went quietly into the night. Never to be seen again.

That would be a shame. It's a good storyline. It would have been better a few years ago when Flair was younger, but it's still something different. There are very few wrestlers of Flair's calibre left, and it's not a story the E is going to be able to do very often. He also deserves that kind of send-off after his career, damnit.

there's a reason they did it in the carolinas for the past 2 weeks, because it's flair country. But really those crowds suck ass

I agree...once a month he gets a challenge and it could be on any show...keep this going until Mania Which is only four months away. And if his Mania match counts for March it would only be three matches. He should wrestle ever week. |

They want people to give a damn about this, don't throw him out there every week to make the situation seem less important. |
