Fightful: Ric Flair granted WWE release

[Chris]

If that was the name that was being teased, that is ridiculous.

Raj said he didn't want to feed the rumor mill and that it "wasn't someone wrestling weekly" so it fits to me

 

[Chris]

Lol

 

[Necro]

At the end of the day we should be happy it's not a bigger name as far as being active. So I'm happy with the news.

 

[CakeWalker]

Flair only wants to be released, if he wants to work somewhere else. No one wants to be released to go nowhere. FACT

 

[Chris]

Yeah whether I want him to or not, I don't think he'd ask for a release unless he had other plans

More on Ric Flair’s release - Fightful Select

“Fightful and Wrestling Inc jointly reported today that Ric Flair has obtained his WWE release and it was granted by the company. WWE sources have indicated that Flair grew frustrated with certain booking decisions on the show, and contacted Vince McMahon directly about it to voice his issues and ask for his release. Flair hadn't been on WWE programming in quite some time, but we're told the booking issues he didn't like were fairly recent. Flair had been outspoken about his disdain of the Lacey Evans storyline earlier this year.”

Who wants Flair in AEW?

 

[CakeWalker]

I'd prefer to see him turning up in the NWA. Not sure if any AEW fans, is thinking of Flair joining AEW.

Ratings increasing, selling out shows. Man AEW is so stupid!

 

[Chris]

I'd rather him not show up anywhere myself, dude was struggling to read a teleprompter for his car shield commercials

 

[Necro]

I'm sure AEW would use him for a segment similar to Eric Bischoff. His name does have value, and he at least won't be in some storyline where it was insinuated that he got a wrestler pregnant.

 

[Stellar]

Well, I guess that it isn't Paige. Never would have guessed Ric. Seemed like ever since he retired from the ring he had been such a WWE supporter. The thing with Lacey as a whole, knowing that her family had been on Smackdown, was total cringe. So yeah, I am glad that he wasn't happy with it.

I’m saying every time someone from WWE gets released, they’re immediately “AEW bound” so take Naitch
