Ric Flair having one more match

[wordsfromlee]

I wouldn’t be surprised if his “wrestling” in the match consisted of a couple of punches and locking in the figure four for the win. FTR will be doing 99% of the work in that match.

Seems happy enough with Jay Lethal training with him still.

 

Little Tone is getting regular DMs from the pair of sexual predators to reassure him everything is going well.

there can't be many more (if any) people alive that have actually taken more bumps than him.

When you think about the longevity of some people's careers, you start thinking about weird things like that. Like, has anyone on earth bladed more often than Abdullah the Butcher?

Ric Flair?

Because of this I found out that Conrad and Ric are already doing a podcast. Looks like the same feed as the Mark Madden hosted version. Which might explain why I don't hear anyone promote it on the couple of AdFreeShow pods I listen to still.

Had the perfect send off at Wrestlemania XXIV, ruined it with his TNA run and now this.

Just let it go!

I'm probably in the minority but I loved that stupid deathmatch he had with Foley in TNA, it was just the most absurd bit of business that never needed to happen and I love dumb shit like that.

Yeah, he'll throw a load of chops but not too much more, you'd think/hope.

It popped into my head this morning that during the early pandemic days WWE (quite cleverly, TBF) used the 'Retribution are making the lights flicker' gimmick to prevent him having to take any sort of bump off Orton's punt kick. That was probably more them being unwilling to let him do it than him not wanting to do it, though...

apparently Steamboat's turned it down now. 

Any ideas who else they could try and rope into this?

[The King of Old School]

Funk? Lawler? Bob Orton? Bushwhacker Luke?

Damn was going to put a pic of Dennis Stamp up then realised he's dead, Very poor of him to ruin the joke.

How about Arn, Tully, Nikita, , Jeff Jarrett, any of his ex wives?

Triple H.

[69MeDon]

Probably Sting if he wasn't already tied up in AEW.

I suspect it's less about not being able to let go and more about needing a payday.

Possibly. I think the main issue is the lifestyle, I reckon he still spends as much as he did when he was on top in the 80's/90's. His name doesnt hold the same value as it did back then, so is going back to what he knows best to try and generate more cash.

I honestly think he needs to let everything go, he has no right to be stepping into the ring at his time of life, he should not still be living the lifestyle and spending the same he did 40 years ago.He just needs to be Richard Filehr, but that is the problem.
