HBK on In Ring Return

I respect the hell out of him for not going back on his word. Still pisses me off to this day how Ric Flair got a huge, emotional send off and then headed to TNA a while later.

Thats great that HBK won't go back on his word... once retired, always retired.

Although selfishly I do wish he was still going, he was great in the ring and still in good shape... unlike Flair... who still wrestles...

I love how everyone complains about Flair, but Foley coming back to the WWE is getting everyone excited. He's actually worse than Flair, since he swore he would never "prostitute" himself and return, yet has done so time and time again.

I do see where you're coming from, but I think that the difference is because Flair had one of, if not the, most emotional and best send-offs of all time, while Cactus Jack, well... just retired after a match and that was it.

But he didn't lie and he didn't want to retire. Vince basically forced him into the lose and retire storyline. He wanted to stay with WWE and continue to wrestle. They wouldnt really allow it. And it isnt the first time the guy has retired, and certainly not the first time someone has come out of retirement. Many wrestlers do. I dont understand how you can hate him for it.

But through storyline, he lied. And can you blame Vince for not wanting him to wrestle anymore? The guy can barely move around in the ring anymore let alone put on an entertaining match. I didn't necessarily say I hate him, but could he not have some sort of manager/corporate role in TNA without having to wrestle? We can both admit the main reason hes still involved is because of the money, and he would surely earn money by going with that route too.

He wouldn't be paid as much, thats for sure. And he loves being in that ring. Watch Rocky Balboa. The speech he gives to the commissions board basically sums up Flair. As far as his in rings abilities now, are they great? No. But he can still put on an entertaining match. His match against Lethal is proof of that. And he is certainly not the worst on TNA roster. Flair will die in a ring. Im almost certain of it. I knew he wouldn't stay retired and I cant blame him for doing what he did. If Shawn is fine with him doing it, than I dont see any reason not to be.

I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, but that shouldn't have been done if he was going to keep wrestling.

This.
Flair should retired one his last WCW match.
It is really sad to see someone his age still going but out of shape, I still respect him but to just end up going to a different company because a company wants you to retire because it would be better for your health.

As the quote says, yeah ever since HBK retired I always wanted him to return in the ring some how even though I respect his words and understand why, its just that RAW will never be the same thing.
Just like Undertaker, yeah they might make appearances but it will never be as legendary as them just in the ring, either at the start of a match, end or even with just a title around their waste.
