    This might be old news for alot of you but I have n't seen it being reported on any of the sites I go to.

    Anyway, the observer reported he had just signed a new 3 year deal. His court case about the road rage incident was settled out of court too. And he's currently on honneymoon with his third wife. For those with a good memory, she was sitting beside him at the hall of fame.

    All is good it seems in the world of the Nature Boy.

    I think it's a bit of a joke having old boys like Ric and Vince competing with the younger lads

    That's good news but I hope he cuts down the time he spends in the ring. His TLC match with Edge was insane for someone of his age.

    I don't know if that's good or bad. He's been up and down since he came to WWE. I think at this stage of his career he needs a good opponent

    **** at this stage of his career a 3 year contract???fair ****s to the guy if he thinks he can go another 3 years

    I'm sure that even if he doesn't wrestle for the full 3 years, he can still be of value in some other way, either as a manager or in a backstage role

    yea true..the guy is an icon in wrestling and can play so many different roles whether it be like you said a manager or backstage role

    Flair would be perfect to manage a wrestler. I saw his match against Savage from WM 8 (i think), when Mr. Perfect was his manager, and their chemistry was brilliant. Flair could easily pull off that role with someone new for many years to come.
    Anyway, he can still go in the ring, look at his match with HHH from Survivor Series

    He's hot and cold in the ring. But he's been in some really memorable matches in the last 12 months. I really liked his cage match with Triple H at Taboo Tuesday. Compare him to other veterans of his age and he blows them out of the water.

    I also noticed that in the two times I saw him live he outworked 90% of everyone else taking more big bumps than I thought he would at just a house show.

    I think people should enjoy watching Ric Flair perform while we still can. He'll never be duplicated.

    Flair needs to quit as an active wrestler, simple as that. He is tarnishing his legacy as the greatest of all time with every crappy match he is now involved in. Ideally, Flair needs to go heel again, and be a GM on one of the brands. He can still cut a mean promo, so he should work with his strengths.

    Re his third wife, I thought that was his daughter!

    Well they should work with his strengths. When was the last time they consistently let him talk?

    I don't think he can/wants to quit. While he's not broke, divorces do leave a mark. Plus he wants to lead a certain lifestyle and all the best to him.

    Like I said he's been involved in alot of good matches lately. You can't say that about everyone on the Raw brand so let him to it.

    Theres still money in one last Flair run, if done right.
