Richard Gray December 6, 2011 TNA News 11 Comments

The Skinny out of the United Kingdom has a new article online featuring quotes from Ric Flair. While Flair did the interview to promote TNA’s 2012 European tour with shows in the UK and beyond, he had at least one very interesting thing to say. Below is an excerpt:

“To be honest I have no plans on retiring from the industry anytime soon. I feel that I still have so much to give to TNA. If the time ever comes that I cannot contribute anything to the company that is when I would have to consider my position within TNA. I am privileged that I have a limited schedule in TNA so my time in many respects is my own. Just now I like to spend time with my family and love to do some fishing. When I retire I’ll be doing more of the same.”

Flair also talks about his storied career and puts over his co-workers in TNA. You can read the full article at this link.

Didn't he already retire when he left WWE? Wasn't it if HBKbeat him he'd retire from wrestling forever? C'mon Ric. Sure you were almost broke but that's what a legends contract from WE is for. You get payed to sit on your @#$ at home while they sell Ric Flair merchandise!!!!

  Don’t forget that he’s not just regular broke but super broke.He’ll need to file for bankruptcy before he can be broke

This makes me a sad man, a disappointed fan, and very concerned for his personal well-being and safety. Life's more than wrestling, Ric.

He should go to WWE and confront Zack Ryder about his staying " woo-woo-woo" !!! I think that would be funny cause Flair is experienced in In Your Face challenges !!! He is Original !!!
