Booker T On Why He Thinks Ric Flair Is Looking To Return To The Ring

WWE has released a lot of surprising names so far in 2021, and the company shocked the world recently when it was confirmed that two time Hall of Famer Ric Flair had been released.

The Nature Boy released a statement where he made it clear that he holds no ill will toward WWE, and now everyone is waiting to see what his next move will be.

There’s no telling when we might see Ric Flair again, or what his role in the wrestling world might be moving forward, but during a recent episode of his Hall of Fame podcast Booker T noted that he thinks Flair might want one more run.

“My thing is this, and I’m going to let you take this into the break, Ric Flair is not the managerial type of guy. It’s just not his role. As well as, Ric Flair is not one of your guys that wants to be in the office, coming to work every day, wearing a suit and going into the office. That’s not Ric Flair. Ric Flair’s a party guy. That’s just his nature. You saw him on Triller, he’s all about having some fun. Now my thing is this, I talk to Ric Flair on a regular — usually on a regular occasion, I don’t know how often I’m going to see him now, but Ric Flair told me, he said, ‘Book, I’m never going to retire.’ He said, ‘If I could be in that ring right now, that’s where I’d be.’ So I think Ric Flair may be looking at one last run.”

Ric Flair wrestled his final WWE match at WrestleMania 24 when he was defeated by Shawn Michaels. He later came out of retirement in 2011 when he faced Sting in TNA.
