Ric Flair claims he will never work for Nick Khan again

On the latest edition of his podcast, Ric Flair said that he will never go back to WWE, especially if company president Nick Khan is around.

Airing frustrations that the company is trying to erase his legacy, Flair specifically took issue with being replaced in the opening video montage by the Ultimate Warrior and his trademark "Wooo!" being taken out.

"I could never work for Nick Khan in my entire life. Vince McMahon, I could work for. Nick Khan, who is the guy who orchestrated taking me off the show....he orchestrated taking the 'Wooo' off... never in a million years," Flair said, adding that he still talks to McMahon now and has no issues with him.

Flair requested and was granted his release from WWE in August. He was removed from the opening video package and had his merchandise pulled from WWE Shop following the infamous Dark Side of the Ring episode focusing on the "plane ride from hell" where he was accused of sexual misconduct on the flight. He denied the allegations, but still lost a national sponsorship over the fallout.

Flair also addressed rumors regarding talks between himself and AEW.

"No, there are no discussions (with AEW) at all. I mean, I told Vince McMahon, and my word is pretty much my bond, unless they do something really stupid to me, that I would never ever go to work for the competition. Now, they've done some really stupid stuff. So that door is open. But, I have not talked to Tony (Khan). I haven't heard a word from them."

Flair said he is not looking for any jobs in wrestling, saying he made more money last week when the podcast launched than in his rookie year of 1973. He said he signed a three-year deal with appearances that pays him more than he was making in WWE. Money wasn't an issue with why he asked for his release.

Ahh Ric...

I don’t believe you

Does this read like Vince is blaming all this on Khan like he had nothing to do with it so he can stay cool with Flair to anyone else btw Clearly it was all Vince approved even if Khan had the ideas of removing the stuff first

 

[Cwalker]

Obviously it comes down to Vince but at the same time, Flair needs to realize why everyone wants to avoid him like the plague at the moment. Don’t take it personally.

They brought Hogan back into the fold; Flair just has to bide his time.

The guy is a rambling idiot, I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of his mouth. They aren't trying to erase his legacy or Chris Benoit him, they clearly removed him from the opening because of the shit storm surrounding the allegations from that documentary. Providing nothing comes from it and he doesn't end up in AEW, he'll be put back in it at some point.

Also he aint blaming Vince because he knows when his ass goes broke again, he's gonna be back begging for another handout.

Misread the title, and was about to say "finally a smart move by Ric", but then I realized it was the wrong Kahn

Flair just trying to keep his name in the mainstream news at this point. He just needs to go away now. His time was past 20 years ago.

Did You Know? Nick Khan forced Ric Flair to do sexual assault

 

[Sky]

Actually, in the full podcast, he claims WWE made him sign over the rights to all his IP while he was on life support, holy shit. Trash vs. trash

 

[Dale]

I'm sure that happened too

 

[Sky]

I'm sure that happened too

Given that WWE has reached new depths of scummy in 2021 it would not surprise me

Dale sucking Vince’s dick

Oh so we all agree that something plausible like erasing his legacy is complete and utter BS but them turning up to a hospital while he's on life support with papers to sign over a trademark is very believable.
