Ric Flair “I haven’t retired, they retired me.”
NBC Sports got an interview with The Nature Boy Ric Flair. Flair is talking about wrestling again, but not tarnishing the WWE send off he had back in 2008 at WrestleMania 24.
Here are the highlights:
“If Brett Favre can come back once in a while, I certainly can,” Flair said.
It’s one reason why Flair hasn’t done the one thing all retired wrestlers do at one point - un-retire.
“I would like to, but I’m not going to do anything to rock the boat,” Flair said. “I’m in the same kind of shape I was last year when I retired. It’s hard to stay away from something you like so well, especially when you still feel like you can do it. If I did wrestle, it would be overseas, it wouldn’t be here.’
Flair believes he will walk down that aisle, lock up and wrestle at least one more time.
“In my gut, I do,” he said. “Do I think I will? Yes. I’m not going to take no easily. Like I’ve said, I haven’t retired, they retired me.”
Flair talks about working for ROH in regards to being with WWE:
“They don’t look at Ring of Honor as being competition to them,” Flair said. “If everybody just focuses on their own brand and what they’re trying to accomplish instead of worrying about the other guy, it usually works out much more better.”
