Ric Flair Says His In-Ring Return Is Not About The Money

Ric Flair isn’t thinking about the monetary reasons for his return to the ring at 73.

Flair is set to return to the wrestling ring for one more match at 73. Despite fans and former colleagues trying to convince him otherwise, Flair has made it clear he will wrestle the match one way or another. Now, Flair has expanded on his reasoning for the match happening, and that it isn’t for the reason many seem to think.

While speaking on “Excuse Me: The Vickie Guerrero Show”, Flair talked about his match. Flair claimed that the match is not about the money, as he simply wants to go out on his own.

“Because I wasn’t happy with the way I went out.”

“I wrestled because I needed the money back then because of divorce and divorce attorneys. I’m not doing it for the money now. I can always make money.”

I worked out hard. When I came down here, I started working out with Rob, John Cena’s trainer. I feel better about myself now mentally and physically than I did back then.

I just want to go out on my own. I kind of was pushed through in situations back then that I didn’t like to be in. But once again, when you need the money, it’s a whole different world then when you don’t. So this is on my terms.”
