Rick Flair Retires From The Ring


Recommended Posts

Well, the greatest wrestler of all has finally ended his career. If you all saw Raw tonight, you know this was no story line. This was for real. "The man" has finally call it quits - at least on the ring.

The dirtiest player in the game is now gone from the squared circle and into retirement, but with him a legacy is left behind. There will never be another Rick Flair. I am going to miss that "Woooooooooooooooooooooo" every Monday. :(

Yeh, it was because of the fight with Shaun Michaels at Wrestlemania. Absolutely insane match. Back and forth constantly. In the end, it was tears for both, Shaun saying sorry, and that he loved him, and finishing with a sweet - sweet Chin Music

I'm just going to copy and paste what I said in the HOF thread earlier. Not much else to say but WHOOOOOO:

All I can say is - Thank you Ric Flair for 3 decades of wrestling, and memories that will live on forever in the wrestling world you helped create. I hope you enjoy retirement, and I can't wait to see you back on WWE TV in whatever capacity you decide you want to do.

Ric Flair, you are the man.

Also. Hulk Hogan should have been there last night on Raw. I didn't see The Undertaker either.

Hogan has enough issues going on, and I doubt he'd show up to take away anything from Flair. Say what you will about Hogan's ego, it was Flair's night and he knew it. Undertaker, Boogeyman and two others were not there last night. But I'm sure Undertaker said what he wanted to long before RAW opened.

I still think he should have been there to shake that man's hand and honor him.

On another note, Bret Hart says he is "the best there is, the best there was, the best there will ever be."? - WROOOONG!

Rick Flair was, is and WILL ALWAYS be "The Best".

Well in so much as he should have been there, he should never ever take the spotlight away from Flair. I mean, they weren't exactly friends, but they did the business they had to do over the years. Maybe he should have been there, but I'm sure he at least called him, or will see him down the road. Problem is, when is Hogan going to officially retire? I wonder what kind of send off he'll get also.

And as much as I loved Bret Hart, he still is just another great wrestler compared to Ric Flair. Flair (and Hogan) made Professional Wrestling what it is today. Bret was amazing in his time, but he had his career cut short sadly. I doubt he'd ever truly say he was better than Flair though, I mean you have people like Trips and HBK etc all saying Flair is and always will be the greatest ever. That's alot of praise you know. Coming from egos of that size :D

I just watched Raw and man was the ending emotional will all the old wrestlers coming down and then the whole roster, its a shame really we didn't get to see Randy Savage in which Flair had many battles with but we did see the Horseman which was amazing again and Malenko man was he a wrestler, thank you Ric!

It won't be the same without him, it was sad to see him retire but I think everyone knew that he would retire after Wrestlemania

Yeah it was written in the stars that HBK would beat him, but the way he did it was just crazy.

Always has to be one in a thread.

You'd be surprised how many people "watch that crap" thank you very much.

Antaris obviously doesn't know anything about Rick Flair or what he represents. Ignorant people should be ignored.

Moving on....

What is he like 70 years old?

I remember seeing him, before I was even a TEENAGER, in the early 70's!

that's 30+ years........he has to be in his 60's at least.

Flair is currently 59. He is done in the ring, but not with the WWE. He will be working backstage with Dusty Rhodes and SGT. Slaughter.

"Ric Flair may be done as an active wrestler, but he still has multiple years left on his WWE contract."

Look at bottom of 2005-2008 section

I cried so hard when I saw Ric lose. I knew he was going to. I knew since the stipulation began. I knew when, and against who. But it didn't make it any easier. When HBK said, "I'm sorry. I love you." Wow, that hit me. He's one of the best, if not THE best wrestler of all time.

Long live the "Wooooooooo!" :cool:

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
