[The King Of Swing]

Isn't he also paying out shit loads due to his failed marriages?

One of the GOATs doing what he loves most. After initial safety concerns you can’t help but admire him. I’m sure his in ring participation will be chops, punches & minimal if any bumping. It’ll be a hoot. Woooooooooooo

[Surf Digby]

Nah, I reckon we'll get a flop, a suplex, he'll get thrown off the top, and he'll try the flip over the top rope in the corner and give everyone a heart attack.

Maybe a rolling knee drop too. 

As others have said, he can't handle not being Ric Flair, and he's doing this partly to prove that he is still that fantasy version of himself.

We can only hope. Would love for Ric to pull out a masterclass.

As for fantasy version of himself, I don’t think it’s a fantasy, I think it’s the only version of himself. Also it’s not as if he’s a danger to anybody else by getting back in the ring, he assumes all risk and all of it is to himself. Far too easy to bow out gracefully, we need more like Ric.

Yes, because walking away rather than working well past your prime on the indys or until you die from pain pills is what wrestlers of the 80s and 90s are renowned for.

Touché. But I meant more in terms of life in general people get older & stop doing what they love often because that’s the status quo.

If Ric feels up to it, wants to do it & it can be done as safely as possible. Add to that that there will be thousands of people happy to see him go one more time then what’s the harm? At 73, what’s he got left with his lifestyle? 5, 7, 10 years? There’s nothing more fitting than to continue living the way he always did in my opinion.

She's going to have a shock when she sees his bank accounts.

Anyone who saw the most recent series of Dark Side of the Ring might feel differently.

I just hope we dont have a The Wrestler moment during his match 

[Merzbow]

Necrobutcher is back, have him really go down The Wrestler route.

Who can blame him? Lived an unbelievable life & at 73 he’s still doing exactly what he wants

A cursory search would tell you that DSOTR wasn't viewed by "millions" so I'd suggest a large number of those people you refer are likely unaware of the allegations against Flair, while I guess you are aware and are happy to continue championing Flair even with that information.

Why wouldn’t I be? One single allegation, which more than one witness have already said is unsubstantiated shouldn’t affect anybodies view of somebody.
