Rick Flair Comments On His Decision To Leave The WWE

As we all know, Rick Flair "Retired" from wrestling in the WWE back in March, but still had some time left on his contract. Last month it was quite a shock when it was announced that The Nature Boy was leaving WWE. Not many people thought they would ever see Rick Flair in the WWE again…that was until the demise of WCW. It’s almost hard to believe it’s been 7 years since WCW went under. In an interview with Charlston.Net, Flair comments (see below) about his departure with the WWE and his new talent agent Elaine Gillespie, who is brand new to working in the world of Professional Wrestling.

“The time was right for me to make a change, try a new approach and go for some new opportunities. No one respects the WWE more than me. They have created a remarkable brand in business and sports entertainment. I just felt it was time for Ric Flair to go out and try some new things. I was thinking that I need the right person to help me be successful in the next chapter of my life,” Flair said. “And that person is Elaine Gillespie.”

Will we see Flair in TNA? Maybe, maybe not. Rumors will fly and rumors will be shot down. You never really know until you hear it from a credible source.
