Arguably one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, Ric flair has been held in high regard in the wrestling business. Flair has held multiple championships in several different promotions. This is the reason why so many in the wrestling world were surprised when it was announced that WWE had come to terms with the release of Ric Flair.
Since his release, there has been much speculation on the next move of the 72-year-old two-time WWE Hall of Famer. Nwa has already extended an invite to their upcoming shows, and many fans have fantasy booked a reunion with Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard his 4 Horsemen brethren.
While speaking on his Hall Of Fame Podcast, Booker T spoke on Ric Flair and his departure from the WWE. Booker T added that he has regular contact with flair and made the claim that Flair told him he never wanted to retire from wrestling.
“My thing is this, and I’m going to let you take this into the break, Ric Flair is not the managerial type of guy. It’s just not his role. As well as, Ric Flair is not one of your guys that want to be in the front office, coming to work every day, wearing a suit, and going into the office. That’s not Ric Flair. Ric Flairs is a party guy. That’s just not his nature. You saw him on Triller, he’s all about having some fun.”
” Now my thing is this, I talk to Ric Flair on a regular- usually on a regular occasion. I don’t know how often I’m going to see him now, but Ric Flair told me, he said,’ Book I’m never going to retire.’ If I Could be in that ring now, that’s where I would be.’So I think Ric Flair may be looking for one last run.”
Ric Flair will certainly be a staple and big addition to whatever promotion he decides to work with next. You can listen to the full podcast below.
