[Splaya]

Ric must be broke again.

[XL]

I don’t think he makes it to the end of this contract.

[slik]

Flair must have a few 'last matches' in him

Mox vs Flair first blood match when

[slik]

All ratings problems solved
Dynamite to do 17 million viewers each week now


Adam Copeland vs Ric Flair vs Paul Wight in a triple threat IRON MAN match

[slik]

Flair vs Luther

Wembley, make it happen

[Sting Fan]

Crossing my fingers this is a legends type deal. I have less than no interest in Flair wrestling, don't even really want him on TV unless its in a background capacity in the odd segment.

I kind of doubt Flairs ability at this point to even be a good hype man for a younger talent.

[slik]

How long before his first drunken promo on Dynamite

[Sepholio]

Flair and Lethal gonna have another WOOOOOO off.

[slik]

Ric Flair to Omega 'do the one-winged angel on me, I can take it, I can take it damn it'

[Maluco]

This will definitely be one of the chapters in the death of AEW book. He looked like he was 90 years old in his last shoot interview.

Ric Flair's energy drink to be official.beverage of AEW!

R.I.P. White Claw Parties! Pour one out for Tiny Khan :(

Supposedly what AEW gets in return for promoting the Energy Drink will "practically pay for Ric Flair's contract"

So what happens when the energy drink goes bust because it's an overcrowded market as is?

[Lock Jaw]

The energy drink won't go bust. All of Flair's financial investments are solid as a rock.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol. Game-changer.

Ric Flair has never met a dollar that he invested smartly :rofl:

Which is why this is coming:

[Mr. Nerfect]

People used to point out the similarities between AEW and TNA, but is it even worth drawing attention to it now?

Do you even claw bro? Tryin to catch a felony before lunch. #clawlyfe4lyfe

[Evil Vito]

It’s not hyperbolic to say this might be the worst decision they’ve made in their history.

[Splaya]

....I just don't get it.

It's clear that Khan has a lot of money but this is basically when you go to a department store that is closing, you think you are getting a good deal for what you are paying but the price is actually inflated, so you are actually paying more even though it's a certain percentage off. On top of that, you get the product home and realize that it's broken in places and is basically worthless.

[Evil Vito]

Like, I understand why Sting might've wanted Flair there for his final run. I still disagree with bringing him in but end of the day in that scenario it's about giving Sting what he wants ahead of retirement and you'd presume Flair fucks off after that.

Multiple years? Who the fuck wants to see Ric Flair on TV anymore?

[Evil Vito]

Tony Khan going at Vince for his abuse allegations is all fine and dandy but you can't take that kind of moral high road and then sign an abuser yourself. That's some dumb bullshit.

[drave]

confirmed he is NOT allowed to wrassle

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tony Khan…bad decisions? You don’t say.

[Mr. Nerfect]

confirmed he is NOT allowed to wrassle

There’s the excuse when this thing doesn’t matter.

[drave]

Especially when he goes ON RECORD to say:

Ric Flair: "I just made it very clear to everybody that I can take bumps. I have a doctor's release to do anything I want like that. Do I think I'll wrestle again? No. Would I like to? Obviously. [Laughs] I'm never going to say no. There you go. [Laughs]"

[Mr. Nerfect]

Flair’s gonna work Tony into putting him back in the ring.

[xrodmuc316]

100% Ric will want to do something, hopefully somebody doesn't get talked into it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Tony gets talked into doing whatever the boys want to do.
