It’s definitely best for AEW to cut ties with Ric Flair.

Even if you like Ric Flair he just felt like a square peg in a round hole in AEW.

Good on AEW if they ceased business with him. Also good on them for having his efforts paid for with advertising.

Let him have a WWE Legends deal and never be in the ring, around a ring, or anything even involved with a storyline again.

He doesn’t deserve a legends contract he doesn’t give a fuck about loyalty but whines when the whoooo isn’t in the intro. Flair can disappear forever and it’s cool.

Using the Steiner meme drives the point home cuz he’s a brain dead meat head.

Oh I know and I knew someone would use the meme
I use it whenever someone awkwardly says someone is fat because that sound clip, for better or worse, lives in my head forever

“I wanted those guys to have the same match, but at the end, you know, instead of leaving me laying there like that, just keep me on the outside the whole time. At the end, as Sting is standing there and those guys are gone, I jump on Sting — boom, boom, boom, one big move to me, puts the Scorpion on me, and we go off the way we started 31 years ago. You know what I mean? It would have blown the roof off the joint. And it would have made me a heel so I had somewhere to go, because it’s just hard to get the people to get mad at me now.”

Flair was laid out by a double superkick from The Young Bucks during the Revolution match. He told Busted Open Radio that he thinks a lot of fans were disappointed that he didn’t turn against Sting.

“They looked at me like I had seven different things,” Flair said about pitching the idea. “I don’t think Tony [Khan] knew that I was on blood thinners. I’ve been doing all that sh*t for all these years. I’ve had that blood clot since 2012. Tony, if he asked me once, he asked me 10 times, he said, ‘Do not cut yourself, please.'”

While laughing, Flair indicated that he hasn’t heard back from AEW since Revolution.

Flair was in AEW as part of Sting’s retirement tour. Dave Meltzer confirmed last week that Flair’s time in AEW appears to be over with the promotion having no future creative plans for him.

On Busted Open Radio, Flair praised Revolution as a great show and said Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita was one of the best matches he’s seen in a long time. He also had kind words for MJF, The Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega.

Ofcourse Flair's only idea was with him not only being involved but the focus of the finish.......Straight out of his time as WCW booker all over again :lol
