But if you are Flair:
1. Why go through with the angle if you didnt wanna retire?
2. Why the hell would you ever wanna wrestle again after having such an amazing match and sendoff? I know people are gonna say its who he is and he needs the money, but he has a ton of income to live from on doing lottery tickets and stuff. It just kinda tarnishes his legacy a bit, in my humble opinion.

He does it because it generates enough buzz and publicity, and he may have thought that that would have been his last run - figuring the boys at WWE would cut him some slack and let him do his thing; just now that McMahon pulls a 'US government' and the wrestlers have taken the 'everyday citizen' role, Flair didn't have the kind of pull that he used to have in the business.
He needs a lot more money than what he's making by putting his face on a lottery ticket, BTW. The man has more financial troubles than anyone else I have seen at his level; not since Gorgeous George.
