After a legendary & lengthy career with his fair share of controversial moments, Ric Flair says he has no interest in politics at AEW.
It was announced this week that The Nature Boy has signed a 2 year contract with AEW, which will see the company adopt his “Wooooo! Energy” beverage as their exclusive energy drink. The deal came after Flair made his Dynamite debut on October 25th as Tony Khan’s surprise gift to Sting, who was preparing to go on his retirement journey that will culminate with The Icon’s final match at AEW Revolution in the Spring of 2024.
Flair spoke with PWInsider Elite this week and commented on how often he will be on the AEW shows.
“I would like to be there as much as they want me. I mean, they have a real deep roster and they come to the shows. I mean, every show is almost entirely different from that. Very few times you see people back-to-back except maybe like Chris or Sting or MJF. I mean, they have a really deep roster with, you know, which they need to produce three shows. So, I just, I hope I can establish myself as an important part of it after Sting retires and continue to do something for him, if possible,” said Flair, who was not on Dynamite this week.
Flair continued and made a few things very clear, adding, “I have ideas, but the one thing I want to make very clear: I am not in any politics. The one thing I made very clear is I’ll do whatever you ask me to do. I’m not going to come and ask you for a favor. I’m not going to ask you and I don’t want to be you know what I mean? That’s another thing, “Who’s ear you got?” That is the kind of bullshit that wrestling, you know, it circulates. I mean, I’m in nobody ‘s ear. I’m there to do whatever they want.”
