Flair was given his release over a month ago. We weren’t getting any more figures of him regardless of his cancellation Was it confirmed that a Legends contract wasn't signed when he was released? I thought Flair was under a different contract (as a performer) instead of a Legends contract. When Angle was released, he said they offered him a Legends contract (that he turned down) so it's possible Flair still had some type of merchandise deal with WWE. |

I believe in due process. Ric Flair released a statement and said that he never forced anyone to touch him. It is a he said, she said. Every wrestling fan has heard the stories of how wild Flair was and probably still is. Doesn't mean he is guilty of sexual assault. Indecendent exposure? Yes

Not getting too deep into this but I have a feeling that this might snowball.
I mean, the #speakingout movement mostly went after the UK crowd and low to mid carders. (Mostly) And while a lot of them got canned to the point of entire promotions shutting down, several of the bigger WWE names thrown out there for it are still with the company.
But you have to wonder, with Ric Flair seemingly being toppled by this, what will be the fallout for other big names? I mean, I really don't see the WWE taking action against guys like Brock and HBK but you have to think there will be major damage control necessary.

I noticed they removed him and the "Wooooooo!" from that opening montage on RAW this week too...

It was only a matter of time before his past came to bite him. I’m sure this story is just the tip of the iceberg of allegations and horrible things these wrestlers did back in the day. Be prepared for your childhood heroes to be canceled and be excommunicated from various companies. And in my opinion, it’s all totally justified. One of the plans of the feminist movement was to destroy male heroes. That is why we have harassment training in the workplace and putting your hand on someones' shoulder is considered harassment. The shifting of norms.
What they do is change rules and laws, attack language, go after the education system, and use the media to prop up their ideas.

Noticed that the Ric Flair “Woooo!” audio was removed from the opening signature before Raw last night.
