Flair talks about his wrestling regrets the same way a hungover alcoholic talks about the shit they did the night before while blackout drunk. They sound remorseful, but you just know they're going to do it all over again.

HA! I've been that guy. "I'm never drinking again!" Two days later I was plastered. Thankfully I haven't drank in almost 2.5 years, but it's still a REAL struggle some days. Seeing stories like Ric Flair's are a good way to stay away from drinking. This guy has ruined his whole legacy. Mostly through his drinking.

He needs to be pulled aside if he can’t take responsibility of himself. What shocks me is his own son in law went ahead with teaming up with Flair in his last match. It is ripe for Ric to have his own podcast and tell his stories. He’s the one guy who should. It’s a shame really.

@ApocalypticRenegade Ай бұрын

It's insane to me just how many wrestlers still end up in the business well into their 50's and beyond. It's always just sad to me watching these elderly men abuse their bodies for a crowd of like 1000 people or so. Flair is a particularly bad example though, that last match he had a few years back was genuinely difficult to watch.

@David-i2w1x Ай бұрын

The Woo-off was stupid. Flair cut a badass promo on Lethal in TNA before that. It was just like one of those hilarious promos he used to do in the late 90's WCW (Like when he was WCW President and Sting repelled down to the ring on the cable, "Sting! Don't be flyin around without tellin anybody!") He must've been making a point about his longevity or something similar because he mentioned how he had crashed in an airplane and then he said he had been struck by lightning (I had never heard him say that before, so I got a good laugh from that one). You could tell he was pouring sweat because his shirt was completely drenched and it was stuck to his chest and stomach. Then he said "There are hospitals around the world that want me to donate my body parts just to see what makes me go." He said that, or something real close to it. Then he told Lethal, "In the world you want to live in, I'm God!" It wasn't on KZbin but a couple days and then it was gone without a trace. Pretty sad. Shawn Michaels' entrance at One Night Only in 97' was on KZbin, but it suffered the same fate. HBK ripped a British Bulldog action figure out of a little kid's hand and then dropped it down into the front of his wrestling tights (presumably the action figure came in contact with Michaels' penis) and then Michaels pulled the toy out of his tights and threw it into the crowd. I thought it was hilarious and a great way to get heat from the crowd in England. Anyways

I don't have much remorse for Flair here but i bet if WWE didn't force in, or whoever's ideas to do that awful Special Guest era of Raw GMS, he would have made a good GM if he was contained, but at the same time he'd wanna do something in the ring. It's inevitable and he never learns. He is definitely his own worst enemy and i mean he ruins alot of goodwill. That send off was fantastic, and then this.

Steiner would talk about so much about the wasted time they were spending worrying about another company's hall of fame ring and he used to say while you're at it, why don't you discuss WWE's house shows.

Nah. The only thing I'd blame TNA for is hiring Flair and letting him do what he wanted. It's funny how these wrestlers get hired and get the red carpet rolled out, they blow it, and then they want to blame the promotion. Flair was past his prime decades before he even got to TNA, and he was untrustworthy with money, so I wouldn't have paid him in advance either. He reminds me of a certain someone else who got a major welcome somewhere, got pretty much free reign, tried to big-time the promotion itself, and ended up bitter about it. No one is bigger than the industry. Adapt to where you are and make it work, especially if people are happy to work with you. But I don't have a big ego, so that's probably why I don't get it. Oh well. I don't want to get it, really.

To everyone criticizing Flair's decision to return, I respect your love and admiration for Flair's legacy. But his decision was based entirely on real life issues. He had several ex-wives and alimony payments, medical bills worth several houses, expensive taste, and a non-existent retirement check. He acted in good faith and deference to WWE by trying to make himself useful in a non-wrestling capacity. They didn't want to do that. So, he did what any man that needed to make money would do - he got a job! He even got Shawn Micheals' blessing beforehand and explained the situation to him. He did everything he could to honor his retirement. But he had no choice. So, to everyone calling him selfish, have some self-awareness. Calling another man selfish because he chose to put food on people's table and not sit at home for you is wild.
